What you don't seem to understand is that tivni /can't/ mean anything /except/ that, because Lojban words have /one/ meaning, or to put it another way, they can only equate to /one/ sense of an English word.
But the question is what that "one thing" is. Just like a tirxu can be a leopard or tiger or jaguar "tivni" doesn't necessarily imply transmission by radio waves. What it does seem to imply is a broadcasting of a (presumably visual) piece of information through some type of transmission type to some sort of way of receiving that information. There is no mention of radio frequency, signal modultion (Which does not exist in digital tv, etc). That stuff is left to the x5 piece. Cable television, for example, would fit that bill, where there is no radio frequency transmissions from the time it leaves the cable company. Logie Baird's electromechanical televisions would also fit that bill, and I see no reason why youtube transmissions would not, either.
(But I do agree with you that it would not be the general spread of information, which would be under benji. Benji is a superset of tivni and cradi)
