It also has an additional stipulation covering reception of “broadcast” via the internet, but uniquely this clause applies only to the BBC and not to any or all TV broadcasts.

That's basically what I said, just left out the recording part.
It doesn't just apply to the BBC, it covers live broadcasts on all other online platforms too such as ITV player.

How am I supposed to know what you mean? You said it was to use your TV which is incorrect. You can use a TV without needing a license.
