    DVB-h (Digital Tv on mobile handsets, 3G, GSM or phoneless) is to offically launch joining Cable, Broadband, Satellite and Terrestiral UHF as a Digital TV delivery platform

    From the Register
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/13/bt_virgin/
    Virgin Mobile looks set to be the first cellco to sign up to a nationwide TV service, according to a report by the Financial Times. The pink paper reports that the tie-up is due to be announced tomorrow at the 3GSM trade show in Barcelona and will provide punters with at least five TV channels and a number of radio stations.

    It is probabily a Pay TV service. if you have no TV licence, you need one. A UK TV licence is needed for ANY live TV no matter how delivered. A home TV licence covers any mobile TV using its own internal batteries away from home.
    (What happens when you plug in a Charger?).

    Note that offically the only Digital TV platforms in Ireland for Irish TV are MMDS/Cable and Sky digital pay subscription service. Unlike UK which has trialed Free Web streaming of UK live TV and has DVBt and DVBs free UK TV services there is no free access to Widescreen or Digital RTE, TV3 or TG4.

    The Sky Service is really a UK service and unregulated in Ireland, with all VAT from subscriptions going to UK, also all Irish TV Content is controlled in availability and price by Sky, not RTE/TG4/TV3
