I haven't mentioned catch up TV anywhere.
You taking a live TV broadcast, offsetting it by 5mins, and then watching the result is not "catch up". Nor is recording "Bake Off" on tape and then watching it at a later date.

So you keep saying - but you never actually get as far as providing a reliable source for that statement. It is just your opinion.
Those who don't agree with you on this thread have provided links to the TV licensing page that tells you that you need one, and the legislation that states whatever is asserted on the TVLI website is the legal basis for decisions.

I'm afraid that searching sites to provide evidence to support
your argument is
your job. We've provided the links supporting our argument. You've provided nothing but an opinion.
However, assuming you mean
this article - it also quite categorically states that you are wrong.

You'll still need a TV licence if you record 'live TV' content at the time of broadcast, using a digital recorder like Sky+ or TiVo (or a good old-fashioned VHS recorder).
This is because you're recording them as they are being shown on a TV channel. It doesn't matter when you watch them, or how they were recorded - you still need a licence.
If you watch TV programmes when they're are broadcast you must be covered by a valid TV licence, regardless of:
- Which channel you're watching
- Which device you are using to watch
- How you receive the content (terrestrial, satellite, cable, via the internet, etc).

And yes, I agree with everything he says in the article and it matches my understanding of whether you need a licence.
