HD TV on mobile

colombani · 12-10-2006, 03:19 AM

French mobile operator ORANGE (france telecom)
is advertising on all TV channels for a new offer.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/267428-hd-tv-on-mobile.html
Illimited 24/24 TV with HD quality + 2500 VOD

To connect you must be on orange portal site.

For all my personal mobiles and employees mobiles, operator is SFR and not ORANGE, I can't test the quality of programs.

At this time I don't know anyone around me who has purchased this offer but there is a big TV avertising beating on tv et I think it'll develop very fast.

I'll give informations shortly of the development of tv on mobile in france

other countries ? same offers ?

Are you sure this is HDTV on the actual mobile device? as this requires something like 24Mb download speed i thought I had heard.

This is probably similar to Orange in the UK where if you take a mobile phone you get free broadband landline internet, the HD TV is probably via the landline.

on their site they say everywhere in zone 3G+ covered.

Actually it's only auround big cities and with a 3G+ phone compatible.

They are advertising a lot for this on TV and newspapers.

In UK orange they don't suggest it ?

I stand corrected.. I've found the offer described in English:

http://www.telecommagazine.com/NewsG...asp?ID=AR_2567

Its based on the new HSDPA standard using DVB-H specification rather than the DVB-T that people will most associate HDTV (the sort you get on a big TV) with.

But looks very interesting, and a flat rate of 12 euros is cheap as hell!

They are indeed strongly marketing "100 secondes", which is TV news of a bit less than 2 minutes actualised every hour and produced by Swiss first channel especially for mobile phones.

Generally, marketing for mobile TV right now is about news and soccer here.

I recently read the news that they are experimenting with mobile TV service in Vietnam. During the experimental phase, the fee is $7 a month for 6 channels, including HBO, Discovery, etc. Not sure if there's any limit in time though.
