Review of Eopstech SDIO Analogue TV Tuner for Pocket PC PDAs and phones July 04, 2006 [Pocket PC] | By Edward J. R. Analog TV in most countries has much smaller offering of channels than digital: for example in UK on freeview (digital TV in DVB-T standard) one can get BBC3 and BBC4 also, but on analog broadcasting only 5 channels are available and most are missing. Moreover analog TV will be switched off in many countries (in UK: in 2012). Anyway if these issues are not bothering you and you own a Pocket PC with (full size) SD card slot, then this SD card may be for you: This tuner does actually pick up TV on the move and although it can be a bit annoying having a huge external battery pack and external sound, I still like it. Although there are DVB-H tuners coming soon, the actual service is not widely available as yet and there would be no point in a DVB-T (freeview) tuner for mobile device as it requires “line-of-sight” to a transmitter. To read this review, including several photos and screen shots, click here. * * * * * Conclusion: since in most European countries (UK including) flat rate mobile Internet access is not available, such "mobile TV for poor people" like that TV tuner in form of SD card may be the only way to realize mobile TV dream in practice! For countries where flat rate mobile Internet access is available we recommend SlingPlayer Mobile for mobile TV. Credit: Alex Abraham.
