Can someone break down this service for me? I tried searching, but "tv" doesn't search. Anyways, I was wondering the price, how well it works, exactly what channels, etc.? Is it just little clips? That seems kind of lame, idk...

I'm thinking of getting an LG 535 tomorrow, and the guy said it will come with 2 months of Sprint TV for free...

Sprint tv will cost you $9.99 a month.....has clip of news, sports, weather, entertainment.....it also has fox news live which is live streaming video of that channel....it is the only live broadcast so far.......then there are other channels that they call premium channels that cost more if you want to add them.....non of the premium channels are live.....although there are music channels that offer live streaming music....but no video......the quality is pretty good on this stuff, alot better then mobitv.....cant wait for ev-do to roll out as then we will get some good streaming quality......

Do Not Get It. It is still very slow and it has to keep buffering. Also you cant even tell what you are looking at on screen. Dont waste your money. Same thing to say with MobiTV.

That depends on your signal quality. As it being slow and buffering is a network issue. It has nothing to do with the service. I use SprintTV and MobiTV regularly and don't experience that problem. In fact the quality is pretty good (better on SprintTV). I can eve read the little line running at the bottom of the news cast (just barely). I listen to MusicChoice and MSpotRadio alot thru out the day for hours and enjoy it. If you can't tell what you're looking at there's either something wrong with your phone or the network in your area.

But don't just tell someone "Do No Get It" because you experience problems with it.

I know when it was released, they did not release it for the A700. I figured by now it would be available but I guess it is not. That is strange. Wonder why they cant offer it to that phone. Do you get Fox News Live on Sprint TV? If not, maybe they cant stream live stuff to that phone. If you do get it, I cant understand why they cant stream music.

The 2 music channels are Music Choice and Mspot Radio. You cant get either one on your phone?
