| 6th November - Vodafone's MobileTV service is expanding in
size and diversity all the time. That's why Vodafone has decided
to launch a remote control for extra mobile TV viewing convenience.
The "Vodafone MobileTV Player" is available now. It
has a logical user interface for fast access to functions, TV
stations and programmes. Basically, the Vodafone MobileTV Player
is a remote control for mobile TV on UMTS phones that makes
a very positive difference to mobile entertainment convenience.
You can flick through the MobileTV programme like you would
a television programme listing magazine, you can surf the
stations, check out the programmes on air, save your favourite
channels and change the volume, just as you can with your
TV remote control at home. The new Vodafone MobileTV Player
does all these things at no extra cost.
The Vodafone MobileTV Player's user interface has a very
clear and logical layout. It only takes a few clicks to access
the programmes. The player has a reduced design and intuitive
buttons. For navigation and selection, the customer simply
uses his or her mobile phone control pad.
The arrow keys allow navigation up and down the channels.
Channel zapping on mobile phones is now a reality thanks to
the Vodafone MobileTV Player. The zapping function is perfect
for customers with the "live! Fußball-Flatrate"
option, because they can use it to watch all the Bundesliga
and second Bundesliga matches live.
The Vodafone MobileTV Player can be downloaded free of charge
from the Vodafone live! portal now. You'll find it in the
"MobileTV" section. Alternatively, you can call
up the page by sending a text message with the key word "TV"
to 55555 (it costs the same as a standard text message).
Initially, the new TV Player will be compatible with Vodafone's
top four UMTS phones: the two Motorola models, V980 and E770,
and Sony Ericsson's V600 and V630i. It will soon be available
for the majority of TV-capable UMTS phones, though.
The amazing variety of entertainment that Vodafone MobileTV
offers is definitely here to stay. There are over 30 channels
delivering an excellent range of up to the minute programmes.
The basic channels that are available free of charge to customers
who have Vodafone tariffs with all-inclusive benefits include
n-tv (live), Eurosport (live), CNN (live) and Wetter-TV (live),
a weather channel. The TopEntertainment channels include popular
programmes such as the Vodafone Freistoss football programme,
MTV Music (live), Comedy World, National Geographic (live),
Nickelodeon, Verliebt in Berlin, GZSZ and Euro D. One hour
of MobileTV use, including TopEntertainment channels, in the
German Vodafone network costs three euro. Further usage costs
EUR 0.75 per five minutes. Vodafone also offers a flatrate
for unlimited national use of the TopEntertainment channels
on MobileTV for ten euro a month. Vodafone UMTS network coverage
already exists in more than 2000 German towns and cities.
