Feedback

V CAST Mobile TV uses a dedicated multicast network for the delivery of its television programming. This delivers the programming in a linear manner that does not require the user to wait for connections or for the program to buffer. Channel acquisition time, frames per second, and audio/video synchronization are all consistent with real television. The user must be in V CAST Mobile TV (FLO) coverage to view linearly streamed programming. Downloading a video clip requires a data connection and for the complete file to be transmitted and saved or streamed or buffered to the device before the clip can be viewed. Typically, the file is stored locally on the device and can be accessed with or without coverage. Programs viewed on V CAST Mobile TV cannot be downloaded and saved.
