FLO TV is a new service that streams high resolution Live TV to compatible cell phones and portable devices. Their flagship hardware is the FLO TV Personal Television. The device is a touchscreen handheld device that weighs 156g and is similar in size to an iPhone, with a convenient built-in kickstand. We were initially very impressed with the device when we first got to check it out, but now that we finally got a chance to put our review sample through its paces, we can recommend the FLO TV Personal TV, even though it’s a first generation device.
Channel Lineup:
The current channel line up includes most of the big stations – ABC, MTV, ESPN, CNBC, nickelodeon, NBC2GO, Fox News, FOX Mobile, the Food Network (a bonus for those who may have lost it recently), ESPN Mobile TV, the Disney Channel, Comedy central, CNN Live Mobile, and CBS mobile. FLO TV promises that they will continue to build the channels with more additions.
Currently, FLO TV coverage is available in most major cities and areas, but you’re best off checking the FLO TV coverage map before you sign up.
Overall, we are very impressed with the FLO TV Personal Television. For a first gen device, it works pretty much bug free. The device is well made, channels stream in very well, the user interface is simple and a pleasure to use.
The FLO TV delivers as promised and is now available for US $ 199.00 (you save US $ 50.99, that’s 20 % off its regular price!).
