The reason for circles over the term live is because live transmission can mean many different things. i.e. The news is live, but Eastenders is not, although both are considered live from a TV broadcast point of view.
.
Eastenders is a live transmission of a recorded program .Anything coming from the transmitter to the receiver in your tv/laptop/pc/xbox/phone etc is considered a live transmission it can be nothing else ,unless you are watching on demand content .The law and the way it is written could not be clearer

You don't need to interpret it, it is clear, .You can rip out the receiver in your tv and then you won't need a TVL ,a PC does not need one unless you fit a tv card and so on
