 FloTV martie 6, 2010

I live in northern California where FloTV has great coverage. I get a good picture and decent sound, for the size of the speakers. My complaint is the programming. Currtenly FloTV only has 16 channels, and one of those is a preview channel. There are no local stations available; so, no local news, weather and sports. Among the stations available are ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, ESPN, and Fox News. But, the network stations are mostly the mobile versions of the networks. Unfortunately, the mobile versions don't always carry the same programming. CBS carried the Superbowl, but CBS Mobile did not (not that I'd want to watch the Superbowl on such a small screen). While NBC was showing the Winter Olympics, NBC Mobile was showing re-runs of Real Houeswives. I am hoping they add local programming or sports programming that will allow me to watch football or baseball games on it while I am at the game.
When I bought my unit at Best Buy there was a sales representative from FloTV onsite who told me about the programming short-comings. I bought the unit anyway, hoping that the programming grows. Besides, FloTV is offering 6 months free programming if you buy the unit by March 31, 2010. After that the monthly fee is $15. The hardware is good and the reception is good. You have to decide if the programming is worth it to you.
Pretty good martie 1, 2010

This works pretty well, but it would be nice if the prices for service were listed on Amazon, along with the coverage areas. I assumed local channels would be free, but it doesn't get local channel and the cost is $14.99/month or you can pay another $149 for a full year. I sent mine back because I wasn't that impressed with it.
It has pros and cons but it's a great device februarie 27, 2010

The Flo TV personal television device it's awesome. It comes with battery, earphones and soft cloth. Nice presentation. I turned it on as soon as I got it( it had like a 40%charge on it) but although that it has a battery power indicator button that helps a lot. Even with that power amount I could check some of the previews and set up my account. You have to set an account either on their website or through the device itself. For the $199.00 price you get a 6 month trial period that after it ends they bill you $14.99 a month for 12 channels (ABC, NBC,Comedy Central, ESPN, CBS, etc). I think pricewise it's ok but they should extend their channel lineup (I think the mobile and auto versions have more channels). Some of the programs are live or recorded and you have the chance to see a lot of reruns and encores from live TV shows. The reception in enclosed spaces( like at my work place) is somewhat limited but if you move around you will get a fair amount of signal. Audio and video quality is good, although while the device tries to get signal, you get some pixelation on the image, but for a small device like this the image and sound quality are really good. The touch screen technology to switch channels is really good too.
 Great mobile TV februarie 25, 2010

This device is incredible. I've tried to get mobile TV for years, but in the past, nothing would really work well, i.e., Slingbox, etc. This TV does. As others have said, it operates as a real TV. The signal for FloTV in my house is very strong, even in my basement, and normally the cell signal in my house is very weak. So this must be stronger than normal cell phone signals. FloTV is great for working out in the gym, bringing it on a picnic, or for entertaining the kids in a car or a busy restaurant. Now my husband can go to the kids' soccer game and also watch the football game. And since the mobile FloTV device is about the size of a deck of cards or an iphone, it's easy to put it in my purse, even when my purse is filled with a ton of other things.
The screen is bright and easy to read in a normal room. It is harder to see in bright sun. It works fairly well in the shade. The speakers are quite loud. You can charge it from your computer or from a regular wall electrical outlet. The headphones it comes with work quite well. I don't have any buffering or skipping issues during the broadcast. The battery seems to last for five hours between charges.
Some interesting things I'd like to see in the future are ways to connect this device to your computer, home TV or gaming machine (i.e. XBOX or playstation) as there are no outlets on the mobile device for this. Also, it does not have local channels or the weather channel so you can't necessarily use it as an emergency TV to get weather alerts if the cable goes out. Another interesting thing is that for the most part, it's live TV, but last night I wanted to see the Olympics. My regular cable TV was running the Olympics on NBC and MSNBC, but FloTV had pre-recorded programming on NBC and MSNBC, but no Olympics, so not everything is live programming. However, it was showing the exact same shows on FloTV for Fox, CNN and Disney that my live cable TV had. I would also like to see more channels like Animal Planet, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel and the Weather Channel, but I'm sure they will come with more time. The current selection of channels that they do have seems to appeal to all age groups.
For the most part, this device is very handy to have, and it's a huge improvement over other products that have tried to offer mobile TV also. I'm very happy with FloTV.
Great product!! februarie 20, 2010
