The same planet as you, but in a place far far away from reality.
Seems to me that mobile TV is something that the BBC and DVB have
spent considerable time developing and testing.
I can only assume that you are stepping forward to pitch me a few
softballs that I can hit out of the park, now that I am growing tired
of toying with Bert.
You know better Alan.
I don't expect you to put a TV in your car, but millions of people
are doing it, and Europe is building the infrastructure to deliver
video to those "car theater systems."
I am certain that you understand that I am talking about digital
broadcasting, NOT TV. Bits can represent any kind of media. You may
not want a TV display in your car, but this does not mean that you
could not use audio services that are delivered by a digital
broadcast network, or listen to the audio from a TV program.
And I suspect that you might find an information display useful in
your vehicle, even if it only could be used when the vehicle is
parked. A digital broadcast service could provide a wealth of
information that would be useful to people with mobile/portable
receivers.
Either you are toying with me, or you cannot grasp the concept that
ANY distribution network that can deliver bits can deliver ANY form
of digital media content.

Craig
