Getting an Apple iPhone to watch TV

The Apple iPhone could display pictures and videocasts, but will it allow streaming video? The answer is yes — and no. Yes, it will, but no, Apple doesn’t develop the device. So how?
“Apple TV does not stream over the Internet or across a cellular phone network, but the SlingBox does”, reports CNet. “And Sling Media, the maker of the SlingBox, confirmed to CNET News.com on Monday that the company is working on making the Slingbox compatible with Apple TV. The most likely–and compelling–scenario would be to allow the streaming of Apple TV content (which is synched with a PC) to a mobile device,” like on this showed picture.
But while using Sling in the US to get video streams onto a cellphone is tolerated, using it in other countries like the United Kingdom brings a lot of trouble. Mobile operator Hutchinson-3 knows something about this; its X-Series offering (combining Skype and Sling among other services) was prohibited by British broadcasters.
