Legality of showing FTA foreign channels in a UK pub to show football?

[thegeeza]

Does anyone know the legal standing of using a FTA channel (i.e Nitro on 19.2e) to watch the conference league final in a pub? My thoughts would be that it should be fine as its FTA but just wondering if theres some strange law in the UK that says it isn't legal?

No, no longer on YouTube, it's paramount or tnt now.
Pub laws are not the same as viewing in your home
Not much chance getting caught but always a chance someone you've upset can report you.

Well I don't know where you stay but my local pub been caught by sly spys who come in posing as customers £1300 a month for sly so choice at that time pay for year or pay fine and you can lose your landlords licence and this was a few years back , and even worse as a scottish pub all english games seem to be available on normal tv but scottish games then you need to pay for . Now he just has contract with tnt and i think premier.
