You do not need a UK TV licence to use "get-iplayer". You only need
a TV licence if you are recording TV programmes as they are being shown on
TV. This is from the TV licensing website -

"The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or
record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on
TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes
and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders.

You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or
record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if
you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch
'catch up' services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD."
