If this means using a mobile as a method to show TV on your laptop, then I don't see what's so bad. After all, even the smallest laptop screens are much larger than the screens on mobiles.

However, if all you can do is watch TV on that tiny 2-3" screen, then there's little to no point at all.

It wouldn't look very good on a laptop screen. The individual channels don't have a high enough bit rate.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.

I guess TV through a mobile really is almost useless.
