- tomxor 7y agoI wonder how they define "live TV"? If i watch a live video stream over the internet does it count? I suspect they basically mean the reception of any terrestrial RF TV signal not really caring about it being live, but due to not wanting to go to the trouble of differentiating between BBC and freeview?
- stordoff 7y agoIt would count - the definition is deliberately broad ("by any means"): > In this regulation, any reference to receiving a television programme service includes a reference to receiving by any means any programme included in that service, where that programme is received at the same time (or virtually the same time) as it is received by members of the public by virtue of its being broadcast or distributed as part of that service. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2004/692/regulation/9/made http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2004/692/regulation/9/mad...
