we’ve been able to receive mobile tv for a few years here in the uk, unfortunately reception is patchy at best (especially when on the move – which is even worse as this is when its at the highest demand – commuting to and from work) there are streamed versions available, but the costs are just too high to make it viable at the moment
hope the get their act together on this soon
