Mobile TV Is Coming To Your iPhone Thanks To Flo TV & Mophie Remember Flo TV, the mobile TV proof of concept? Well, they revised their copy and thanks to a partnership with Mophie, Flo TV came up with quite a device actually. Its a TV receptor for the iPhone, bundled with a battery extender. It looks great and should hit us in the first half of 2010″. Interested?
Not interested at all. I use Slingplayer or eyeTV on my iPhone now. When I was overseas, I had a Slingbox hooked up in NC that I used to watch TV on my N95 over a 3G network.
Can you use it with iPod touch? :O :: I think it'll be awesome to watch TV with your itouch/iphone.... seems like there's no end to the things it can do !
Yes, it's hardware that's integrated into a mophie battery pack/case (though it may have an app as well to help set it up and so you can buy more months of service) The Flo TV is a subscription model so expect a monthly charge of about $15 (that was the price when I checked a few months ago)
It's now $10 for ATT customers. That's not to say that they won't use a different pricing model, considering ATT has nothing to do with this one.
Sounds pretty expensive for a moble TV... $15 for such a small screen with only about 10+ channels... Plus you need to buy the hardware and the app. It would be a great deal if it didn't come with subscription, but I have a few questions... On the iPod Touch, would there be a subscription fee and who would you need to pay it to?
It actually has around 20 channels right now which is pretty good. Plus, it's got the Food Network - I'm getting it solely because of that channel. DAMN YOU CABLEVISION AND SQUIPPS!!
It has Food Network!? I don't have cable since I'm rarely home but I would loving having Paula Dean in my pocket... if you know what I'm sayin...
If you want TV on your iPhone/iPod get either a Slingbox/Slingplayer combo or eyeTV. One-time up-front costs, no monthly fees.
I have an eyetv now but both it and slingbox only stream what you have plugged into it. Now if I had cable or a satellite dish i would definitely stick with my eyetv
