A licence is required not just to record live tv but to install equipment capable of recording it.

Where does TV Licensing law apply?
The law that requires a TV Licence for using or installing television receiving equipment to watch or record television programmes as they are being shown on TV, or to download or watch BBC programmes, including catch up TV, on BBC iPlayer applies in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

So there you have it.

I simply pointed out they were obviously not using it for Netflix, nor expecting to use it, since they were not expecting the box at all.

Absolutely not, my comment referred to them not being able to watch Netflix on the TV 360. Many other devices are available for watching Netflix which are not capable of recording live tv. As, I am sure, the OP and, pretty much, everyone else on here will be aware.

Indeed but that is how product "bundles" work. It would cost me more to opt for a lower broadband speed, you are correct, it is mad.
