There's no point in having a discussion about what the BBC's terms should be, just about what they are. You have to remember that the legality of what we do is determined by the terms that the BBC set for access to their online services, together with English law (for users in England/Wales and those outside the UK) and Scottish/Northern Irish law for people who live there. Apart from just one condition (personal use terms, 3.2.2) which restates some of the requirements for having a TV licence, there's nothing I can see in the terms which draws a distinction between 'on air' and 'on demand' access. So, I conclude, that no, the BBC does not make any significant distinction of that sort.
