My opinion is that TV Content != broadcast. It could be:
- a broadcast emitted content
- a broadband emitted content (over broadcast such as DVB-IPI, or a multicast ip stream)
- a local content (PVR, …)
- a local network content (accessed through DLNA, airplay, miracast, dial... or other local network streaming protocol).
