TV on your mobile phone

Major TV broadcasters go mobile

Users will have the chance to watch Coronation Street in the pub
BBC One, ITV1 and Channel 4 are to be broadcast to mobile phones as part of a mobile TV service launched by BT.
BT Movio will offer BBC One, ITV1 and E4 live - but with some films, sport and US shows removed from the line-ups.

Channel 4 will broadcast a slimmed-down version of its schedule at first. BT Movio will initially be available through Virgin Mobile from 1 October.

The service will be the first to be broadcast via the DAB digital radio network instead of the 3G phone system.

It will also offer up to 50 DAB digital radio stations, depending on location, BT said.

very interesting, temi. have you any idea how much such a phone and package would cost?

[temi]

Ummm,
Even if its free I am not sure I want it, TV on a screen only a few inches wide does not appeal to me but the fact that the technology is available I find interesting

well i'm a fan of camping/nomadness (excuse the pun) - and a huge tv wouldn't fit in my backpack :eek2:
