Another useless service

This will be another feature in the VCAST service. So you will have to pay $15.00 for VCAST plus around $10.00 more for Live TV. Plus you may have to buy a new phone with the Live TV feature. I don't think current phones will work with this new feature. It's all a big waste of money. You will have to be in a EV-DO area and there will be plenty of buffering. It will not be at all like watching a show on the iPod.

Another useless service for people with money to burn.

It uses UHF channel 55...

MediaFlo (a division of Qualcomm) bought UHF channel 55 in the entire USA. TV channels above 50 will cease to exist in 2009 due to DTV, and Congress has been selling this spectrum off to the highest bidder.
MediaFlo used compression to put 24 TV channels into this space. They also have to build channel 55 TV transmitters in all major cities (already happening).
YES you will need a new phone for this - as the phone has a channel 55 TV receiver in it.

Also, this is broadcast, so it's NOT interactive.
