Transmission company Antenna Hungaria has launched a DVB-H Mobile TV service.

There are 3 transmitters pumping out that lovely DVB-H – consisting of Free-to-Air channels “Duna TV” and “Duna II Autonomia” in Budapest. Handset-wise, it’s the popular N96 providing the viewing experience.

The service has been trialled since 2006, and comes only a couple of weeks after the company launched their DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) platform.

Apparently plans are to go up to 20 channels, of which some would surely be Pay-TV channels.

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
