This past week, TELUS finally released the MobiTV application, and XM Satellite Radio application for their series of Blackberry’s.
Already paying $150 a month on my BlackBerry bill, I thought I should add both applications to my BlackBerry Curve and give them a shot.
I shot a video of how the application loads, and selected to use The Weather Network as my demo channel. Similar to the satellite feed, this is not a local PMX version, it is a national version. People with TELUS get the same feed. However, there is NO PMX what so ever. The locals, highway, and national segments are all blank with no overlay.
Here is a sample of a LF and a bit of the newscast:
Most channels are only 15 seconds delayed. The quality is pretty good, it is streaming over the phone's EVDO network afterall. There is very little buffering. If you have any questions, lemme know!
Here is what the guide looks like:
Notice how the schedule has TWC names? TWN doesnt even have programs, in Canada, on our guide we see "National, and Local Weather" in our guides for TWN, that never changes. It seems maybe MobiTV got TWN and TWC mixed up..
