The first truly working mobile TV service in Russia

I hasten to share the test results of the new mmTV service.

In short, this is a mobile TV service. A program is installed on the mobile phone (in my case, Nokia e90 and a Symbian program), which gives access to ten free channels. Paid channels are connected at prices of a few dollars for a monthly subscription, there is porn :) Accordingly, there is the possibility of buying video and audio (on-demand) when you pay for a particular video and download it to your phone, while the video is downloaded and viewed by the program That eliminates the usefulness of this feature.

The most important thing is traffic. Depending on the phone, you will pay for Internet or WAP traffic (depending on the connection you have). Happy owners of iMobilko and WiFi-enabled handsets can simply watch the broadcast via WiFi.

Channels are available for viewing in three quality categories. Frankly, even the “good” quality sucks compared to the video we are used to: the picture is grainy, when buffering the nipples (yeah, they are the ones tested on the Private channel) are covered with squares :) The quality apparently differs only in sound - since there are many music channels, perhaps this is a really important factor.

So, the testing was conducted on the Private channel through the operator Beeline and the Nokia e90 handset for 5 minutes.
When connected via WiFi, the broadcast of mobile TV did not cause any. Accordingly, not a penny was paid for the traffic either.
When connecting via EDGE as “low” for 5 minutes, the picture stopped 5 times (buffering), GPRS / EDGE traffic was eaten around 3.7 Mb.

Total: an hour of watching mobile TV will cost you 310 rubles.

In my opinion, this is quite a normal figure, considering that mobility has never been cheap.

By the way, live broadcasts of all EURO 2008 matches are available. This is a plus.
