in theory you need a licence for tv receiving equipment, but the days of TV Licence (or TV TAX!) are numbered. The BBC received 3 billion pounds a year from us. To support the campaign against the TV tax see website below....

No, because it's battery powered, as long as you have a licence for a set at home. This regulation covers portable battery powered tv's for use in caravans etc.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/docs/finance/licence_fee/TVLicencing.htm
Excerpt from above....
" The use of a television set, which is powered solely by its own internal batteries, will be covered for any address by the user’s main home licence. However, if the user plugs the set into the mains or connects it to any external power source such as a car battery, a separate licence would be needed for separate addresses"

you can't watch tv on your phone, only clips that have been bought by your phone company. Copyright is paid by them. Anyway it's a lot cheaper to get a licence and watch tv than it is to pay for the clips you can get on your phone.

If you dint have a licence at home the answer is yes. If you are a student & your parents have a licence, the answer is no...as long as you use the battery rather than mains electricity (who would use the mains with their cellphones???).

you opt for a television licence on condition which you watch or checklist stay television declares. possessing a television or the different form of kit would not count form. you're able to desire to apply it for staring at or recording stay television declares with the intention to justify paying the television licence fee. apart from, in case you have stopped staring at and recording stay television declares, then you definately can declare funds back on any unused ingredient of your cutting-edge television licence amounting to 3 months or greater.
