It's another example of the crazy aversion to say what they really mean.
What are we to make of 'and/or transmit'? Does a 'receiver' transmit?
I think not. Do they mean some sort of relay or re-broadcaster? The
language of a Directive may be constrained by legal considerations, but
a Guide should be in the plainest language possible, not be cryptic.

Hello Matthew,
Yes, I think you’re right that they mean broadcast ‘receivers’ which
connect to cable, and not to an antenna.
Only those ‘receivers’ which are fitted with an antenna (for
‘radiated’ reception) would be within the RED.
Thanks,
Michael.

Thanks for the link. I’m puzzled by this on page 61 of the guide,
which is talking about what type of product is covered by which
directive, EMCD or RED.
“Consequently broadcast receivers that do not intentionally receive
and/or transmit radio waves stay under the scope of the EMC-D and do
not move under the scope of the RED.”
A broadcast receiver that doesn’t intentionally receive?! Huh? What
am I missing? Maybe they mean a set-top box without any radio
functions exclusively connected by a network cable (e.g. Ethernet)?
