your home tv license covers the reception in your FF and phone, tablet etc. ... - .- -.

As above, home TV licence covers you for portable TV receivers. It used to be so long as they were powered by their own battery and not plugged into the mains of an address that didn't have a licence, i don't know if that point still applies. But either way unless you're sitting outside your mates house with your car plugged into a C-tech while you watch the TV on his drive you should be ok. |

I only know as I used to have a pocket TV about 20 years ago, and got told off by the boss for not having a TV licence. |

Those pocket TV's were bloody terrible weren't they, with the screen the size of a postage stamp. With all the HD stuff around today it's easy to forget just how bad the signal was. |

No because you can have more than one TV in your house.
Oh god yeah! i think it was a DSTN screen too, it it was more lines with vague shapes than an actual picture. ![]() |

All that said, they were just the best thing in the world, so futuristic. Couldn't watch it but they were cool. |

So if I only watched TV at home via catch-up services and didn't have a licence, watching live in the car is illegal? Not that I do, but just hypothesising.

Again from the TV licensing site;
So theoretically if you take a tablet to work, plug it into the mains and watch a live broadcast on it, it's illegal unless your work address has a TV license. Seems a bit vague about the vehicle bit though. Does it mean you don't need a license on board vehicles, ships etc or does it just mean you're allowed to watch in a vehicle etc if you have a license for your home whether they're plugged into the mains or not?

i think you will find that if you have a home license then anything classed as a portable device , and i would include the tv in your FF, will be covered whether you plug in the mains or not..
