If i bought a phone with dvb-h support will it work here in South Africa ?? eg:nokia n77..
imagine watching sabc 1 om your phone
MTN has it currently in conjunction with Multichoice. However you need a TV SIM. AFAIK it's only given with the purchase of the Samsung DVB-H phone.
Do you get coverage wherever there's MTN coverage?

DVB-H doesn't work off the cell network, it has it's own transmitters AFAIK.
Thats what I thought, just wondering what sort of coverage it had, if it was similar to the almost blanket cell coverage or only in major cities etc.

The current DVB-H network is extremely small and even in most big cities very patchy. It's obviously still early days and will greatly expand in the future.
The quality is extremely good though, much better than streaming to a normal phone over IP.

Currently selected channels for free on MTN. For how long I don't know
What do you think? - since when would anything be free especially where Multichoice are concerned.
I am still wondering why the heck would anyone be interested to watch TV on such a silly little screen!
There is not even anything to watch on a BIG screen let alone a minute screen
It really makes me wonder.
The other day I read somewhere that they say advertising SMSs would be more common now that mobile TV is not taking off the ground. They though they would generate revenue through ads. Interesting!!
Just my 2c worth.
