Live TV on your Mobile

By Mike on May 11, 2007

I love the whole idea of being able to do so much with a mobile handset, and as we all know the N95 pretty much covers it all; video, pictures, Internet, GPS to name a few!

One application that isn’t covered by default on the N95 is mobile TV. I know that the handset doesn’t support broadcast streams (DVB-H) like the Nokia N77, I am talking more about Internet streams as the N95 has great connectivity options (3G & WiFi).

When I had my N73 I came across and used a great TV application called Live TV from a company called Vimio. The best part about it is that it’s absolutely free to download and use!

Vimio Live TV on your mobile

Although a limited in the number of available channels, it does come with one of the UK’s best news channels; Sky News; which I feel is worth the download alone! The great thing about Live TV is that most of the available channels have different stream rates; High, Medium or Low which you can select depending on your network connection.

Another great feature, is that by pressing the select button on your joystick/pad you can rotate the video to full screen, which I have to say looks darn good on my N95! Don’t forget that TV-out option!

Vimio Live TV Channels on your Mobile

Mobile TV is going to get bigger in the next year or so, and with the likes of On Demand channels now lining up from Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky and with the BBC’s iPlayer due later this year – it won’t be long before you’ll not only be able to watch your favourite channel when you want – but also where you want!

UPDATE 28/05/2008

After being offline since Oct ‘07 the Vimio LiveTV Service is back up and running again, see my latest post for more details.

Guys, sorry, the application no longer works as Vimio the guys behind the product have pulled in the plug on the live streams… Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done.
