Under the strict wording of the law, yes. Of course, this is hard to prove and there are bigger fish to fry, but off-air recordings are strictly for personal use only.

Plus I wouldnt put it past the licence people to take you to court because you will be am easy target. However, if you were a multi-millionair OR muslim then the government wont touch you!

Only if I let other people watch it. If it's just me watching the delayed feed does that still count?

Interesting question.

What if you have one of these and have no actual television at home?

So how about if I stick some code on my remotely hosted website to record the video stream and re-broadcast it with a 15 sec. delay. Does that still count as live?

You also need a TV license if you use a 3G phone to watch it.
