the difference arises from the terms of Section 84 of the Copyright Act.
84. Recording for purposes of time shifting
(1) A person (A) does not infringe copyright in a programme
included in a communication work, or in any work included in it, by
recording it, if—
(a) A makes the recording solely for A’s personal use or
the personal use of a member of the household in which A lives or
both; and
(b) A makes the recording solely for the purpose of
viewing or listening to the recording at a more convenient time; and
(c) the recording is not made from an on-demand service; and
(d) A has lawful access to the communication work at the
time of making the recording.
(2) However, subsection (1) does not apply, and A does infringe
copyright in the communication work recorded and in any work included
in the communication work, if—
(a) A retains the recording for any longer than is
reasonably necessary for viewing or listening to the recording at a
more convenient time; or
(b) in the event that the person who views or listens to
the recording wishes to make a complaint to a complaint authority, A
retains the recording for any longer than is reasonably necessary to
prepare and despatch the complaint.
(3) If a person infringes copyright under subsection (2), the
recording is treated as an infringing copy.

It sounds interesting, but ultimately too OT here IMHO.
Most OT posts at least relate in some way to computers or related technology.
