Don't know, but its disapointing that only existing TV subscribers will get it - to pay extra for a BBC service seems to go against what it's about, but then I guess someone has to pay the bandwidth.

you get full programmes on HBO Mobile and Cartoon network dont you? but why havent fox got a channel with the simpsons and family guy which would be a good proposition, they have a news channel Fox 24 though.
3 has itv 1 but arent they looking to expand to other networks and the channel 4 mobile channel on 3g is that Channel 4 shortcuts or the simulcast like onlineline and BT Movio. Dont expect a mobile channel from Five as they havent got any rights to any content or have they. |

With a mobile TV pack you can get around 27 TV Channels (on vodafone, orange and 3) some are live but are mostly made 4 mobile. Sky1, paramount comedy, living, bravo, ITN, c4, ITV1 and so on. There are 2 ways of getting Mobile TV: 3G Mobile DVB-H |

BBC is just one of the channels - I hope that in the future Virgin add more variety (especially to help me through those long night shifts!) |

the only problem i find about the lobster is that it looks ugly (my opionion) you might be intrested to know Virgin are planning to launch new TV over DAB phones and as there is a new nationwide DAB mux c4 and Aquiva: NGW (National Grid Wireless - theyve merged) have said they want to hold back some capacity for DAB TV meaning 1 or 2 more tv channels.
DAB TV currently offers: BBC one ITV1 Channel 4 simulcast ITN E4 as well as DAB Radio stations Q sources? A i get you some |
