My source is the law (ISTR communications act 2003), not the TVLI.
The license is required to watch broadcast tv at the time it is broadcast, if you use a VCR to record it you also need the license as you are receiving it at the time it is broadcast.
However if you stream it from another site that is not showing it at the same time that it is broadcast then the license is not required.
I'm not talking about a couple of seconds delay, a couple of minutes streamed TV is outside of the license requirements.
Whatever the TVLI website says is often misleading and designed to fool you into buying a license when you do not need one.
