Mobile TV Software and Your Options

Posted: Feb 09, 2011 | Views: 113 |

Getting TV onto your computer from the internet has been achievable for several years now. In actual terms the quality has often surpassed what you can receive with a normal aerial due to limitations of the picture format a standard TV receives.

Mobile phones have simply not had the infrastructure in many cases to be a viable platform. However now you can get much larger data plans at competitive prices as well as connect to a wifi connection in the local starbucks or similar location.

Background on Internet TV

Internet TV is growing rapidly because of the wider choice, lower costs, and overall flexibility. You don't need a powerful broadcast station to transmit over the internet. You just need a large datacenter which is comparatively cheap. Sites such as youtube can handle huge volumes of streaming videos with a limited amount of advertising.

How much can you save by getting TV on your phone?

Having TV on your phone could save you money. Sounds a crazy thing to say! But in this modern world people buy a separate device to play games, to receive calls, to watch tv, to listen to music. Each one of those can cost over a hundred dollars each, so any software which achieves the same thing is a huge saving. The only real limiting factor now from doing everything on your phone comes down to screen size.

How can you get TV on your smart phone

Getting TV on your smart phone or iPad can be as simple as downloading the right software. You have a number of choices from spending weeks meticulously searching out the channels who allow viewing online in your country and support your device, to paying a nominal fee for someone who has already compiled thousands of channels into one place.

Data plan considerations

Considering you dataplan is a major point. These have become much cheaper recently, but you still need to make sure you a bandwidth allowance comparable to what you would receive on a home broadband connection. Choosing a software designed foremost for mobile phones will mean the designers have considered the implications of the smaller screen size and slightly lower bandwidth provided. Consider that the average music video on youtube which is around 3 minutes uses up about 25-35 megabytes of bandwidth. That provides a quality that looks crystal clear on a screen size such as a mobile phone has. If we extrapolate that figure we would use around 700 megabytes per hour of TV.
