I suggest you read the primary legislation, which is quoted upthread. It is very clear: if you have a televisions receiver installed or (note it is 'or' - not 'and') use it for receiving broadcasts you need a licence.
Nothing in the Regulations contradicts that.
I'm afraid it does. If I install and use a TV solely for the purpose of playing my DVDs, I am not contravening any of the provisions of the 2004 Regulations, as quoted above.
Still, if contradictory Acts and Regulations confuse the lawyers, it can't be all bad.
