Leading mobile services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and broadcast company 360media Corp. (360media) launched today the first commercial mobile TV service in the country. Branded myTV, the service enables mobile phone users to watch their favorite television programs anytime, anywhere.

For just P488 a month, Smart subscribers with mobile TV-capable handsets can now enjoy myTV’s range of top-rated TV channels including 24-hour news channel CNN, music channel MTV Philippines, kid channel Cartoon Network, documentary channel National Geographic Channel, local movie channel Pinoy Box Office, the highly acclaimed The History Channel, Solar Sports, Basketball TV, ETC and Jack TV, the last four on test. myTV has also announced that it will carry the PBA games live on its service beginning with its upcoming season.

This monthly package is available to both post- and pre-paid Smart subscribers. Other postpaid and prepaid plans offering various combinations of channels will soon be available.

The mobile TV package will be an additional charge on top of the regular postpaid airtime plans. Pre-paid subscribers on the other hand, need only maintain P1 airtime load on top of the P488-monthly myTV package to avail the service.

myTV is being offered by MediaQuest Holdings subsidiary 360media in cooperation with Smart. The service is being broadcast using the mobile TV platform called Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld or DVB-H.

“Mobile TV is the latest life-changing innovation offered by Smart in partnership with MediaQuest. Through this service, we are enabling our subscribers to be informed and entertained through TV while on the go,” said Napoleon L. Nazareno, Smart president and CEO.

“Mobile TV is a natural for a market like the Philippines,” said MediaQuest and 360media Corp president and CEO Orlando Vea. “Studies show we average nearly four hours a day watching television. myTV will allow us even more viewing time and will forever change prime time TV as we know it.”

Initially, myTV can be viewed in Mega Manila (extending to North and South Luzon Expressway), Cebu, Davao,Tagaytay, Batangas, and Baguio City. Boracay and Cagayan de Oro will soon be covered.

“To give our subscribers an opportunity to try out the service, the service will be free until August 31,” said Danilo J. Mojica, head of Smart’s Wireless Consumer Division.

myTV can be accessed using DVBH-capable handsets -- such as the N92, and the upcoming N77. More DVBH handset models will be available later this year Smart is offering attractive post-paid mobile TV handset packages to support the launch of the new service. (Please attached handset plans.)

Consumer studies and service trials conducted by MediaQuest and Smart early this year show strong acceptance for Mobile TV.

The study cited features such as the flexibility of being able to watch TV anywhere, the handset’s portability and clear audio/video qualities, and the entertainment/relaxation derived from the service are key usage drivers.

Moreover, participants from the trial said they can envision themselves subscribing to myTV to monitor breaking news, keep abreast of sports events and soap operas, and fill dead time during long commutes, while stuck in traffic or waiting in line.

“This is great value for money. The monthly plan is affordable. Moreover, the content package includes a mix of popular channels plus channels that are either available only to premium cable TV packages or are exclusive to myTV. Finally, the service is mobile,” said Raymund T. Miranda, 360media Managing Director for Mobile TV.

Broadcast Quality
Programs on myTV can be viewed simultaneously by an unlimited number of subscribers, making it the ideal medium for real-time sports events, breaking news or live entertainment.

myTV is a broadcast service that delivers content to many viewers simultaneously through a digital TV broadcast signal optimized for mobile devices – very much like the way conventional TV delivers a TV signal to homes. myTV is not transmitted through the cellular network via video streaming and video-downloads services which is currently offered through 3G cellular networks.

In a recent report, research firm Informa Telecoms and Media forecasts that worldwide revenues from mobile TV and video services will rise from USD$2.46 billion in 2006 to USD$8.35 billion in 2011. A study by IMS Research published in August 2006 says nearly half a billion people will be watching TV on their mobile phones by the end of 2011. @

nice info......

pede ba ung my tv sa n73? kung pede bitin naman hehehe di kasi masydo malapad ung screen eh :)

sayang po at n92 po pa lang ito available...

sa n6600 nman sana!! wahaha...

thanks hehheh

danda nung model ah. :naughty:

symbianizer dn kya xa? :lol:

hahaha parehas ba screen reso ng n92 at n73? hmmmm sana my tv narin me hehe

mas upgraded syempre ang n92 though parehas silang s60 phone

Alin ang mas malapad ang screen n92 o n95? Yung sa barkada ng bayaw ko binebenta ang N99i galing Italy, may tv na nakabuilt in tapos yung stylus nya ang antena, yun talaga ang lapad ng screen.

Ngek! Pra kaung nagpapatwa mga guys speaking on what handsets model needed. I think this is what we call digital tv, in other words, "STREAMING". Bsta capable ng streaming phone mo specially on 3G, ewan ko lang sa mga 2G handsets. Doesn't need to know if it will work kung maliit screen. Your phone will automatically resize the screen size. The smaller the screen the crisp the graphics is and the larger the screen, the distorted the graphics is.

haahhaahhaahaha oo nga noh kalokohan pinaguusapan hehehe ilang channels kaya meron ung smart tv? hmmmm masubukan nga

hindi streaming ang smart myTV. 2 units pa lang ng nokia ang kaya ng service nito. N92 and N77. both units have an internal antenna para makakuha ng tv signals. masmaganda reception nito kaysa streaming and cable channels ang pinapalabas nila.

grrr.. when will i ever get that!

Take note guys mas maganda ang offer ng Smart free daw eto until august 31, then ang N92 ay makukuha nyo for plan 1800, mas mura kay sa doon sa globe yun kaya kukunin ko? hmmmm........

Smart myTV uses DVB-H technology. Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld. It is similar to Analog TV but uses Digital signals and for handheld instead...

sa mga naka subscribe sa smart mytv jan. free trial pa rin ba ngyon ang mytv? para maisama ko naman ang dvb-h sa mga specs na hanap ko sa cp. tnx

Digital TV nga i2. Di nia ginagamit ang 3g or 2g. May special antenna i2.

Di q lang alam bro.. Kasi trial lng un. Eh 2006 pa un... Kung gus2 mo ng DVB-H na cp bumili ka na lng ng Nokia N96. Improve na N95 but may digital tv receiver kaya maganda.. Di maganda ang N92 at N77..

mganda po N77 un ang gamit ko ngaun, kala ko nga sa una panget kc maliit ung screen so panget dn manood, pero ung natest na ang linaw mas mlinaw pa sa ordinaryong tv sa bahay, at d nkkboring manood..

sana meron hack para mkapanuod ng channel sa mytv or khit anong channel na my dvbh reception capability na free.. kung meron man i share neo nmn po pls!

no dvbh signal available anywhere in rp except that of smart's mytv, at limited din sya i think dito sa metro manila or major cities. the broadcast uses simple encryption similar to what are used in digital satellite broadcast, but the codes are unique to each provider. may possibility na ma-hack because it doesn't use smart cards used by satellite tv providers, but right now the market here for the dvbh capable handsets is still limited kaya siguro wala pang nagbubuhos ng oras para ma-hack. and besides, mura lang naman ang monthly fee with mytv and it is definitely worth it, especially that most dvbh capable handsets also have tv out. another thing is that, kung kaya mo ngang bumili ng dvbh capable na handset, bakit mo pa kailangan ng hack for such an affordable service?

simple lang po sagot ko jan.. kc ung handset nbinibili ntin ay totally saatin na at hndi mawawala prang isang bayaran lang..

i mean ung mytv channels kelangan mo pang mgbayad for limited time na sa panahon ay mwawala dn ang service until d k n mkabayad..
kung mgbbgay ang smart mytv ng unlimited service at one time payment hope so!
bka un masasabi pang worth it...

hahaha! ano yun? parang yung sa mga pirated na cable service sa iskwater? bayad ka lang one time? i mean, you do get the services and you have to pay for it. it is not a tangible thing that you can hold on to forever, for crying out loud it is media content and premium at that. kung gusto mo ng one-time na bayaran, it is like purchasing a movie and it's all yours to watch over and over again. the contents on this service does change and those contents are purchased by the providers, so there definitely has to be a fee. what i am implying on is that this is very minimal fee to pay for being able to watch premium channels on the go. compared to the same service in the us or other parts of the world, bargain na ang mytv ng smart. kung hindi mo rin naman pala kayang magbayad ng ganitong maliit na fee for such a service, then wala kang karapatang magkaroon ng ganung handset kasi hindi mo naman magagamit yung feature na yun. this is because as of now, there is no known hack for you to get the service for free.

do you mean wlang karapatan ang isang tao gumamit ng ganung handset pg hindi nya kaya ang service features na para sa fone nya? ngpapatawa ka po ba? alam mo optional lang yan kung gus2 mo mas mrmi pang features sa fone mo so wla ka paki kung ano gus2hin ng tao kung hindi sya mgpalagay ng service na yon..

maganda ang pino point out mo sa legal na praan para gamitin ang gnung service..
i think mali ka ng pinasok na forum, dun ka sa ibang forum na kada click mo ay may bayad..
itong forum na to ay para sa mga pinoy to share thier experience its all about for FREE how to learn tips and tricks even for symbian hacks, il suggest na tanggalin m na ung mga mod apps mo n kinuha m d2 sa symbianize much better pumunta ka n lang sa site na may bayad..

what's the use of getting a dvbh capable handset if you can't get the service? yung ibang features siguro, pwede pa. why not get a handset instead na walang dvbh but has all the features you require? it's simply a law of economics. i merely am pointing out that currently there is no hack for the dvbh broadcast system of smart, and for the fact na mahal pa ngayon ang dvbh handset (except for n77), and also that it is most likely na ang magkakaroon ng ganung handset ay kaya ding magbayad nung nominal fee na china-charge ng smart-- mas economical na makuntento na muna sa handset na walang dvbh ang isang taong hindi kayang magbayad ng monthly fee. i just hate the idea of people getting those gadgets para sa porma lang. and to tell you the truth, i don't have any modded apps nor do not use any ubt/fbt tricks from here. kaya kong magbayad ng legal na services. i only joined the forum to get tips and tricks to maximize the uses of my gadgets and to contribute as well.

alam mo po.. nasa tao na yan kung gusto nila mag apply sa service or hindi..
kc ang problem po ay nag judge ka agad ng tao kung hindi nila kaya magpakabit or kung ayaw nila eh wala na sila karapatan mag karoon ng ganung klaseng unit?
eh ano naman kung ayaw nila may magagawa ka ba?
just mind your own business, hindi mo kawalan kung ano ang gusto ng tao.
kung insecure ka pumorma ka rin sa ibang paraan kung sa tingin mo ay pamorma lang ang handset na my dvbh.
