In English & Welsh law (don't know about Scotland or NI but I expect it's the same) it's legal to record a broadcast television programme for viewing at a more convenient time.

So if you use your PVR or DVD recorder to watch a programme later, once, then delete it, you're within the law.

If you use it to watch the programme more than once, or don't delete the recording after you watched it, you're not.
