More Mobile TV Trials

Here in the UK they’re trialling TV-over-DAB. Currently DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is becoming widespread with increased quality and choice, however a new L-Band spectrum should allow relatively cheap mobile TV and multimedia applications alongside the existing radio services. T-DMB (Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and DAB-IP (Internet Protocol over DAB) will be tested out in London over six months with a range of channels from BBC, ITV, Cartoon Network etc.


UK and Korean partners are working together in the trial and include the BBC, BT Movio, and Virgin Mobile who showed us their mobile TV handset back in February running on DAB-IP.
