Will your 3 X-Series phone break the TV licensing laws?

3-x-series-sonyeric1.jpgThat’s the question being posed by The Register today, which says you’ll break the law if you plug your X-Series phone into the mains at an address and use its SlingPlayer Mobile to watch your home TV, if that address doesn’t have a TV licence. And what’s more, slinging TV from your Sky set-top box to your phone may be illegal, full stop.

Their story has the full details. I’m not sure how big a deal this will be in practice: are Sky likely to send the heavies round because you’ve been watching their Premiership footy coverage on the bus? We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, check our Beginner’s Guide to X-Series.
