That isn't true. For any live broadcast you need TV Licence. Its on the TV licence website

You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch ‘catch up’ services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD.

TVCatchup(the site) is poorly named IMO, since Its not a catchup site. I have seen a member banned from TV Catchup forums for boasting he/she never had a tv licence and they do advise you to make sure you have one when you sign up(If i remember correctly)
