Mobility is a key word to the modern world, and the Internet revolution do not miss the television. Taking with it a smartphone or tablet, you can have your favorite programs at your fingertips. Internet turned upside down the world as we knew it. On the bus or tram easier today to meet a person staring at the screen smartphone, than someone with a newspaper or magazine color.
Busy and overworked, we have less time also for television and frequently show’s catching up on the weekend. Hence the rash of mobile TV services. Broadcasters try to keep up with trends, instead hoping to keep the proceeds from subscriptions, advertising and VOD services.
In tandem with cable
Mobile TV market in Poland is well developed. The biggest players in the broadcasting market, dedicated mobile applications provide for free. Users typically are validated based on the subscriber number or login and password. Such policies have the platform Cyfrowy Polsat (IPLA), nc + (nc + it) and cable TV operators INEA (INEA Online TV) and UPC (Horizon him). A separate case is TVP services Stream HBO GO. The first is the mobile platform of Polish Television, which, at least in the assumption performs network TVP public mission. On the territory of the Polish access to all users of smartphones and tablets. HBO GO is however VOD application, closely related to the offer HBO. To use it, we have to be purchased from the service provider HBO TV programming package.
Cyfrowy Polsat outside IPLA web service, also offers a Mobile TV – TV based on small, portable decoder MT 5000. This is an interesting solution for people who are afraid of the costs associated with the transfer of data or do not have access to the network. The decoder works with mobile devices and the TV signal is transmitted over a local network (Wi-Fi). Unfortunately, this offer mobile TV Pay extra and independent of the other packages Cyfrowy Polsat.
From the mobile operator
If you do not watch television every day, an interesting solution would be to purchase a package of mobile television mobile operator. Such services are offered by the four largest telecoms, with the content of external partners generally supply.
Plus subscribers can choose from packages dedicated IPLA, just like mobile internet subscribers of Cyfrowy Polsat. The Orange will find an offer TV Here and There, and T-Mobile sells Iplex service. Play until recently offered TV.Play.pl, and therefore its own variant of Internet television NEXT Plus. Currently redirect subscribers to the service of Global TV Go.
How to watch and what to remember?
Mobile TV services are available through apps for Android and iOS systems. Less frequently for Windows Phone (examples include IPLA and TVP Stream). Broadcasters also offer us web applications. TV in this case, we can also see by your browser on your PC. But this is not an iron rule. Be sure to keep in mind that virtually all services based on video streaming. Without access to high speed internet, the use of which will be much more difficult or even impossible. Streaming generates large data transfers. If you use mobile internet on your smartphone or tablet, to better monitor the use of packages. Even a free service may expose us to additional costs if you cross the monthly limits. The exception is the already mentioned TV Mobile from Cyfrowy Polsat, where we have available to mobile DVB-T set-top box.
What we see in mobile TV?
Variety of services not necessarily associated with an equally broad access to content. In most mobile applications, we can only count on a basic package of channels, and the core offer VOD services. One of the most comprehensive listings of mobile TV has a UPC. For example IPLA Cyfrowy Polsat, only 6 channels for free. However, we can buy packages greatly extending the basic offer. Competitive application nc + it is 13 channels at no extra charge. Paid-for service are, however, so-called. netVOD + collections.
Definitely worthy of attention is the application Horizon him from UPC, which allows a mobile device to access up to several dozen channels. The higher the fee we pay, the more you get channels. Interesting also offer mobile operators, especially Orange and Plus. Both networks offer their subscribers mobile TV applications with free basic package, which can then be extended to more channels and VOD services. TV Here and There by Orange is also a welcome pack, which is available to all. Plus but does not detract from internet packets for data transfer in some embodiments of the IPLA.
