The Xbox One will launch with an array of TV entertainment apps including 4oD and Demand 5 but not BBC iPlayer, ITV Player or Sky Go.

Why is this? There are a number of reasons as to why these three popular services won’t be on Microsoft’s long-awaited games console from launch.

The BBC says that it’s working on bringing its catch-up service to the Xbox One, but hasn’t given much of idea of when this will happen.

A BBC spokesperson told us: “BBC iPlayer is already available to audiences on over 1000 devices and platforms in the UK. Whilst we are working to bring BBC iPlayer to Xbox One in the future, we have no further details to share at this time.”

The corporation recently unveiled a roadmap for the future of the iPlayer, which will include things such as bigger 30 day catch up windows, radio playlists and 4K Ultra HD streams, where available.

Similarly, ITV has confirmed to Recombu Digital that ITV Player will not be available from launch, but declined to elaborate further as to why this is or when the service will be available on the console.

For the time being Sky is focussing on bringing Now TV to the console, but hasn’t ruled out considering Sky Go for the Xbox One later.

“We enjoy a long track-record of innovating with Microsoft and look forward to the launch of Now TV on Xbox One by summer next year. As a dedicated over-the-top service, we have prioritised the availability of Now TV, to extend the reach of the service to the main TV. Looking ahead, we will also consider any future opportunities for Sky Go.”

Sky has promised to improve availability of Sky Go on Android tablets and will likely be focussing on this before turning its attentions to other platforms.

Any other questions

It depends what you watch.

You don’t need a licence if you only ever watch on demand or catch up programmes on services other than BBC iPlayer (and you also never watch TV programmes live on any channel or TV service, including on iPlayer).

But you do need a licence if you watch or record TV programmes live on any channel or TV service. Or you download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live or on demand. This applies to any device and provider you use.

If you’re using a mobile device powered solely by its own internal batteries – like a smartphone, tablet or laptop – you will be covered by your home’s TV Licence, wherever you’re using it in the UK and Channel Islands.

However, if you’re away from home and plug one of these devices into the mains and use it to watch or record live TV programmes on any channel or device, or to download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer, you need to be covered by a separate TV Licence at that address (unless you’re in a vehicle or vessel like a train, car or boat). It’s the law.

You need a TV Licence to watch or record live TV programmes on any channel or device, no matter where they are broadcast or distributed from. This includes satellite or online streamed programmes from outside the UK or Channel Islands, such as sporting events and foreign shows.

Subscription channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Now TV are television services that are normally paid for on a monthly basis via cable, satellite or the internet.

You will need a TV Licence if you watch live TV on a subscription channel. But you don’t need a TV Licence to watch on demand programmes (other than those on BBC iPlayer) on paid-for subscription channels.
