I am a bit confused by your reply because a television receiver can of course receive
non live transmissions from a DVD player, VHS player, CCTV camera or even an old computer game can be connected to a TV via the antenna socket. UHF modulators are still available for anyone to connect any video device to a TV antenna socket.
The wording of official statements are way behind the technology available. (Or is it deliberately aiming to confuse) The other side of the coin of course is that live TV can be viewed on a computer or mobile phone via the internet, if the BBC have their way we will require a TVL for those devices as well.
The TVL define live transmissions as watching live broadcasts or recording live TV transmissions as they are being broadcasted to watch later.
