License needed to watch mobile TV (or risk £1k fine)

Link: Telegraph | News | Handset TV viewers risk £1,000 fine if they fail to buy licence.

Consumers who make the most of mobile phone technology by watching live television broadcasts on their handsets were warned yesterday that they need to own a valid TV licence or face a £1,000 fine.

Fair point I suppose — but not the first thing you think of; particularly when the mobile companies are shortly looking to charge you for the privilege.

Do you need a TV license to watch a clip of The Office that you paid to download?  Probably not.  I imagine it only applies to live broadcast TV, but I am of course, no expert!
