QUOTE
Orange and T-Mobile have announced a joint pilot project of a multi-channel TV service for mobile phone users in west London in the second half of 2008.

During the trial, customers will use handsets with a technology called TDtv to receive up to 24 high-resolution TV channels and 10 digital radio stations.

The line-up is expected to include many of the most popular channels in the UK.

The companies say TDtv, first trialled in Bristol in 2006, is a more efficient way to deliver TV broadcasts by phone.

What are your thoughts about this announcement?

Will TDTv take off or flop?

Will YOU use it?

I wont use it - but then I'm not with orange wink.gif

Like they say, might be useful for the olympics but The Virgin Lobster flopped so not sure about demand. But then again Three do TV so you never know. I guess it depends on what's available, marketing and price.

I was going to mention about the Lobster too.

I think it flopped because it was a bit too costly. Then they dropped the price and it went kaphat!

I agree its always the them up there that get everything.

But lets see how much it will be etc first. I thinkthey should just but dvb-t in the handsets and be done with it(but of course they can not make money from that can they:< )
