What is Mobile TV?

Mobile TV is the transmission of on demand, recorded and live audiovisual content to a mobile device. This differs from Mobile Video, where content is downloaded in much the same way as any other file and saved for future viewing.

Mobile TV transmission can take the form of broadcast mobile TV similar to the TV signals you receive through your aerial or satellite dish or streaming mobile TV which is audiovisual data packets sent out by the cell phone networks to individual mobile devices.

The main difference between the two methods is that broadcast Mobile TV blanket covers an area giving unlimited mobile device access to the same signal, while streaming Mobile TV is sent as data packets by the cellular networks to individual devices and is restricted by the number of devices accessing the same tv program due to bandwidth.. Think of a water coming out of a pipe, the amount of water flowing out will only increase if the pipes size is increased.
