I agree my post could confuse some of their possibility of buying a handheld OTA DTV receiver. This probably isn't 100% relevant to ATSC handheld TV, but another mobile programming option.

I still think we're talking of something different. Here's a link showing the two technologies of Vcast and MediaFlo

Unlike the carrier's V Cast streaming-video service, V Cast Mobile TV uses a portion of the UHF spectrum.

Also, because the TV signal is independent of the regular CDMA or EV-DO signals, you don't need any bars to watch the programming.

Hm, okay. I didn't realize there were two services with almost identical names. Leave it to marketing departments to come up with that sort of thing.

How confusing! Isn't that going to render VCast streaming video useless in the future? I had VCast a few years ago (Non-ATSC) and thought it was ok, but nothing I'd recommend to anyone. Most video clips were two minutes or less. Was an interesting way to watch the news but just wasn't very efficient.

One thing these mobile dtv or mobile hdtv makers are going to have to think about is making a hideaway ear plugs or an easier way to deliver audio to the user's ears without ticking off people around them. If you're on the subway, bus, or a public area, and you want to catch some TV, you're probably not going to want the sound blaring our for everyone to hear. Just a thought.
