U Mobile’s Mobile LiveTV is No More
U Mobile’s claim to fame product has apparently been scrapped.
Reports from sources close to us have revealed that the 3G operator’s Mobile LiveTV is no longer available.
Mobile LiveTV is U Mobile’s brand of live TV content distributed via DVB-H technology. What is DVB-H? Simply put, it’s like Astro (which uses DVB broadcast standard) but is developed for applications in mobile devices.
Unlike streaming TV where the TV content is downloaded and is not broadcast live. DVB-H delivers TV content to your phone live in real time. Of course, you’ll need a DVB-H device (like the crappy Nokia N77 or the awesomely overpriced Nokia N96).
