Watch cable TV on your cell phone? Soon.

European wireless provider 33 Group will be launching a new service in Britain December 1st, enabling customers watch their home cable TV on a cell phone if they also have a device called the Slingbox, reports the Associated Press.

"Two new handsets running on 3's next-generation wireless network will feature the Sling application, which customers can use to watch any channel available on their cable TV at home.

The phones also can be used to control a digital video recorder at home, pausing and rewinding live television, playing previously recorded shows, or setting up the DVR to record a program."
