I am not the one looking for loopholes, you now appear to be agreeing with what I have been saying and said in my previous post.

'A TV licence is required to watch live TV transmissions as they are broadcasted or the recording of live TV broadcasts for viewing at a later date'

A TV licence is not required to view transmissions that are not being broadcasted live, such examples are DVDs, iplayer and any other non-live video content streamed off the internet. (I recall reading somewhere I think on their own website that TVL regard live as up to and including 'something like' 15 mins broadcast delay)
Therefore one could conclude that if I do not watch live TV and have no means of receiving it I do not need a TVL. The problem is that it's not that easy because a PC and mobile phone is also capable of receiving live TV.
