So you want to watch live TV?
I know get a television…
But sometimes that isn’t possible or convenient. For example when you are in a hotel room, waiting for a train, etc…
It is now quite easy to do with a computer and a browser, however until now it was not really possible on your iPhone (or iPod touch).
Simply go to http://iphone.tvcatchup.com/ on your iPhone and you can now watch live TV (well there is a lag of a few minutes) when you want to.
I added it to my homescreen and they (as you can see above) they have a nice icon for your iPhone.
The quality is quite good and certainly watchable.
The service also has a browser version, however you need to sign up to that!
Regardless of which way you go, as this is live TV you do need to have a TV licence.
I carry RCA jacks because that ensures I can make hotel TVs do what I need them to do when I stay away from home.
