Telus has recently added the MobiTV application to the TELUS BlackBerry Curve, Pearl, and Storm. This is an example of how the application works.

Channel: 11 - The Weather Network

The Program guide for The Weather Network (Canada) for some reason matches the guide information for The Weather Channel (US).

what data plan do you have.. does that require the 500 mb or the unlimited..

[weatheroffice]

I believe they make an exception, if you have mobiletv it doesnt use up your data plan, it does use your data, but it wouldnt chew at your payable data. You pay $15 a month for TV and thats it. I have an unlimited plan.

interesting...no local forecast, just the backgroud video

[weatheroffice]

Correct, this is the truly national feed with no PMX insertion.

[Jonwpg]

it makes sense to me, theres no ldl bar at the bottom of the screen either, as i guess its not really able to get a local cable feed using a cell phone

[weatheroffice]

exactly, it would be pretty hard to get every city's feed on the phone network :P

Seems kind of useless without the local forecast. Is there any way for the phone to detect where you are and provide a local feed like on cable?
