Looking at whether or not a home worker with a TV/video link constitutes DSE or not. The link is used for up to 3 hours a day, no keyboard but a few mouse movements involved.

DSE Regs definition is based on "alphanumeric or graphic display screens".

Whatever the outcome, will suggest the provision of adequate seat.

Anyone come across this?

The problem is that the Guidance in L26 excludes screens whose main use is to show TV or film pictures - but the Regulations are not explicit on this! I would tend to 'err on the side of caution' and go for DSE Regs approach.

There is a discussion document due out in Spring of this year pertaining to DSE Regs. In a nut shell, it is anticipated that equipment displaying video/ TV/ CCTV images will be be incorporated into the revised DSE Regs. It is also anticipated that "anyone who normally uses such equipment regardless of the length of time involved, will, in order to avoid confusion, be classed as a 'user'".
Because of this, I would assess your needs on the basis that;
1. You come under the DSE Regs
2. Everyone is a 'user'
