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. |
