Read this: BBC iPlayer - Help - Do I need a TV licence to watch programmes on BBC iPlayer?
Summary: Catch-up You do not need a television licence to catch-up on television programmes in BBC iPlayer, only when you watch or record at the same time or virtually the same time as it is being broadcast or otherwise distributed to the public. In BBC iPlayer, this is through the Watch Live simulcast option. Anyone in the UK watching or recording television as it's being broadcast or simulcast on any device - including mobiles, laptops and PCs - must, by law, be covered by a valid TV licence. - iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk
