ROK TV,the UK-based mobile communications and entertainment specialist, has launched a free mobile TV service globally.
ESATO NEWS
Following the highly successful launch of the world's first mass-market 2.5G multi-channel mobile TV service over GPRS ROK has now launched the world's first free mainstream mobile TV service, 'FreeBeTV'. Currently offering 4 channels of content - with many more slated in the near future, to include live news, music and sports - FreeBe TV is available via the dedicated link on: http://www.rok.tv and is compatible with 14 major handsets. FreeBe TV channels are streamed over GPRS to WAP enabled handsets.
The ROK content is free with the service being free from subscription charges of any kind. However, ROK advises consumers to double check with their network operators over any GPRS data-charges that might be incurred. As such, although subscription free, FreeBe TV is principally aimed at people with GPRS data packages in their mobile tariff.
The FreeBe TVservice includes an extreme sports channel, a vintage comedy channel, plus classic cartoons and classic movies channels. However, ROK is also looking to create the first mobile user generated channel called 'YOU-MADE-IT ' . Tapping into the increasing demand for user generated content, ROK is encouraging viewers of its TV services to send their own content into the channel, with a selection of the received content - which it anticipates will range from short movies, comedy clips, music videos and home-made animations and cartoons to be included on the channel,which will stream on the new mobile TV service.
FreeBe TV is compatible with the following Mobiles. However if your Mobile is not listed but has a Media Player and streams video, (subject to Operator) then you should be able to receieve FreeBe TV so give it a try,afterall it's free! http://www.freebe.rok.tv

Posted by axxxr
you should recieve the WAP link straight away,I just tested it and it works fine for me,all you need to do is go to site, enter PIN and choose channel.
Just one more thing:
FreeBe TV uses approximately 1mb for 4 minutes of viewing.

Recieved my link straight away, had a quick look at a few channels and they were all really old stuff (all black and white) !

I got the link, the PIN, but when I connect to their site, I can't login there
Posted by sielski666
i got the link. dont think its good now. if it was like english channels it wud be fab
Posted by goldenface
There is some strange content - like The little Shop of Horrors,
The Lone Ranger in Black & White and really old Tom & Jerry cartoons - REALLY old.
It might change constantly and there is more channels to follow.
BTW it works fine full-screen on the W900i.

My W810i won't play the clips. The media player opens but nothing ever plays. I'm on Cingular, I'm not sure if they have something blocked. But I have an unbranded phone.

Correct because you will still be charged for accesing the internet from your service provider.

cabt see mobile tv taking off to be honest. screens are too small IMO.
Posted by tranced
all you have to do is to get a p9xx instead of your k800 or get a TV.
