@Brix OMFG! Thats expensive even by UK standards.  Orange UK are charging just £10 per month for 16 channels.
I am not sure if that includes data usage though, I can't find any info on the website

Location Free TV wont cost a penny. At least not once u've got the setup sorted. PSP/Loctation Free SE phone plus a decorder box thingy. Or instead you could use a PS3 as thats gonna have built in Location Free TV features to link in with the PSP or other Location Free device.
Any more news on when the first Location Free TV phone will be out ? Im very very intrested in geting one of these ? |

@goldenface: Yeah, that's the same thing I said when I read through their press release but some people are actually very excited at the prospect of watching episodes of Sex and the City on HBO's mobile channel. |

@Brix. For £1/day I would want Sex in the City performed live in my living room 
@Goldfinger, we'll just have to keep our ears to the ground for that one as there is only BT trialling the service at the moment.

More info on this here .
Ericsson enabled easy channel surfing for Mobile TV by introducing client software that offers an attractive channel selector for mobile handsets. The new channel selector offers the quickest channel switching on the market and easy access to a list of available channels.
As Mobile TV is quickly becoming an important subscriber service, this facilitates operators to generate new revenues in addition to existing services. Mobile operators and media companies all over the world are today introducing Mobile TV services, in form of schedule based TV channels as well as on-demand TV programs.
Studies from Ericsson Consumer and Enterprise Lab show that the average time spent on watching each mobile TV program will be shorter compared to traditional TV. Therefore a fast channel switching mechanism is of great importance to enable a swift zapping between channels.
The channel selector provides a familiar and easy experience for the consumer as the handset can be used similar to how channels are switched with a remote control. When switching to a new channel via the Ericsson Mobile TV client the channel is visible on the mobile screen in less than 3 seconds.
