From TVL
and this
They also say this. (No mention of live broadcast but surely what they mean, but again they like to leave things unclear)
The issue I have with the many statements that can be found is one of deliberate confusion, yes read the parts you want and the answer is there but they have been deliberate in not stating it in one concise paragraph.

You are going around in circles and contradicting your original stance ,you said ..
television receiver can of course receive non live transmissions....,you have just said above that ...
In fact a transmission can be nothing other than live,......the latter being correct and what i have said all along and why their is no need to include the phrase in the legislation.Actual legislation is never cut down to a "concise paragraph" because it would not be clear and would leave too many loopholes ,that's why we need trained legal people to understand it sometimes ,however in this case it is simple and concise leaving no confusion.
Anyway this has gone waaaayyyy off topic and the result is you still need a tv licence if you own any device capable of receiving live transmissions
