Re: FLO TV-Why would anyone want this? said by qworster:Why would anyone want this when they can buy a small HDTV for half this price and then get everything for free? Because this sends the signal from cell towers, so theres more places with signal. I cant get tv ota in my area without a giant antenna. |

This does NOT use cell towers!
It sends the signal from 2-4 transmitters per metropolitan area on TV channels 55 and 56, which were bought by Qualcomm in an FCC auction- channel 55 nationwide and channel 56 in five of the USA's largest cities.
FLO stands for Forward Link Only-there is one way BROADCAST transmission only!
