About Broadcast Mobile TV
DVB-H technology enables the TV service you are familiar with at home to be broadcasted to your mobile device. DVB-H provides a superior end-user experience in the mobile environment with excellent picture quality and reduced battery consumption. With extensive pilots of broadcast mobile TV currently taking place across the globe\\\, involving leading broadcasters, mobile operators, broadcast network operators and handset manufacturers, the market for commercial broadcast services is expected to grow throughout 2008.
What is Mobile TV Broadcasting?
Mobile TV Broadcasting allows the user to watch their favourite TV programmes such as dramas, news, music, sports and documentaries on their mobile device. The service works by receiving a digital TV broadcast signal optimised for mobile devices over the air in much the same way as televisions at home do. Through the technology, channel guides will also be broadcast allowing users to keep abreast of the latest programmes on air.
Broadcast mobile TV is not the same as a streaming video service over packet-based services where each user retrieves a dedicated stream of the (TV) program or video clip. Rather, one broadcast TV signal can be received at any time by any number of users enjoying high picture quality and low battery power consumption.
