Weekend Read: NokiaTV – Random Articles
Just a little something to read while you drink your morning coffee (or tea), here are a couple links about the NokiaTV announcement/Release (most of them are in Finnnish- so Google translate might help you out). For the record I actually think the awesome things coming out of the entertainment division of Nokia are sometimes overlooked; so i randomly try to bring them into the spotlight.
From the Official Nokia Forums in Finland:
Nokia TV service offer the latest and the most viewed content with just a few finger-touch. The software is automatically updated, so you can find the latest content easily sorted. The service works as well as 3G cellular networks and wireless local area network.
Users can watch YLE, MTV3, Channel Four, URHOtv’s Voice, and programs. Capacity will grow in the future in other domestic and foreign program suppliers.
“We strongly believe the Nokia TV-like services to the growing popularity andURHOtv’s content, bringing Nokia’s smartphone Snow is the desired increase in the services we offer, “says Artturi Kulvik, director of network operations URHOtv from. ”The consumer wants to look more and more content outside of the traditional living room television. URHOtv would like to offer during the summer Lumian users the ability to monitor the content of our offerings at any place and at any time, even if the cottage pier nose. That is why we offer all URHOtv’s's Veikkausliiga matches to watch a recorded TV Nokia application free of charge via the soon after the game.

Here’s a nice look at what types of services are offered from each provider; and how fresh the content from each channel is: (google absolutely massacred this translation so good luck)-

Later, onFinland may become available in the international news channels like CNN-known
Broadcast transmission, based on DVB-H failed because the broadcasters would have to set up a separate high-priced equipment for broadcasting. DVB-H has to be sent to the television the same way as traditional TV. People did not want to pay for mobile viewing, while the same transmission could be seen on television without a separate fee.
It’s worth noting that Nokia TV is available for all Lumia devices except the Lumia 610 (problems decoding the video?)

It would certainly give the Apple TV a challenge.
Not really; Apple has nothing like this; apple tv can’t be streamed on your phone; it’s not free and it needs an external device. Basically this is better
The problem with the NokiaTV is that it has poor content and you have to be hardcore Nokia supporter to watch the tv by using this.
Of course; this is still a beta app limited to Finland; depending on how the response is they may or may not continue; fingers crossed that they do.

So now we have some WP bashing from this guy, kinda

Truly nothing interesting to say, like ever…
If you are looking for only praising the product without any critics, please read the marketing materials. In those even the weaknesses are turned into strengths if you like that.
Every product has something that is not good. You can read about those from the pages of the manufacturer but where did you indend to get the real data for the other point of view?
The NokiaTV is a nice utility but I was hoping it to be something more. It’s just the same old story. This is not the final product. Please wait for the updated version. You never heard that before?
Er what… I love criticism, I thrive on it.
What I deride is criticism with no substance.
That’s boring and intellectually facile…
You weren’t part of a convo Aliqudsi & I had earlier.
If you were you’d understand the context/reason for sharing that post.
Basically most of his posts are pure troll/flame-bait…
It’s fine to have a opinion that’s different to everyone else’s.
But in order gain any kind of respect one needs to back-it-up with solid reasoning/facts.
Try looking at the full extent of his posts, not just the one below.
Ignore him; he bashes everything and is a droid fanboy- but a comment like that is relatively civilized compared to the rest of his.
OTOH, what is good about Nokia TV is that it connects various separate streaming services to one app. I for one have never really used the various TV station streaming services here, which are plentiful and advertised a lot, because I just can’t be bothered. Someone pooling it all up for me increases the chances…
Like Nokia Music, where you just fire it up and start hearing music even without a login. I think Nokia has really understood the simplicity cravings of the market with these latest apps of theirs. The initial response in Finland to Nokia TV seems to be overwhelmingly positive. Of course it could just anecdotal, but good feelings so fat still.
“….bringing Nokia’s smartphone Snow …… “says Artturi Kulvik, director of network operations URHOtv from.
off topic but i wish the nokia snow design concept from mohamed magdy comes true.
Apps like this wont save nokia from dying in another 2 years, better kill symbian with 808 as last phone, use WP only for low-end smartphones and use Android for higher end, its the only ecosystem which can save nokia now, personally i will love to get a Nokia nexus phone and it will definitely generate much higher sales than these gimmick apps.
DVB-H is better in every way, and it’s very big here in South Africa… Streaming is what DVB-H was trying to avoid.
DVB-H was attempted by Nokia in Finland too but it did not catch on.
Last I heard the network was being dismantled?
I believe something similar is very big in South Korea too.
+1
I wish these sort of standards would take-off more around the world.
DAB+ is “finally” taking off in Australia, but only slowly.
