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 or recording live TV transmissions to watch later as they are broadcasted.

so how is that unclear and any different from the wording in the law .A live transmission is a transmission from the BBC transmitter to your tv showing a program
as it is being transmitted ,you cannot delay the transmission at the tv/xbox/pc/or any other device ,it is always a live transmission and cannot be delayed .You can record that transmission for later viewing but that means you still received the live transmission and still have to pay the TVL.You appear to be looking for loopholes by means of ambiguity in the wording where none exist .Many have tried before and failed ,some have even ended up in jail for not paying the fine imposed
