Windows Phone Thoughts: MyTinyTV: TV On-the-Go

"No, it's not a replacement for your TiVo, home theater system, big-screen TV or even your regular TV. But it's a great little, ahem, tiny TV that you can use throughout your house. And, you can even bring it along, because it also works across the Internet when you are away from home. Go to your favorite wireless hotspot, like Starbucks, at airports, at hotels, and watch TV. Your own channels from your home cable or antenna, even when you're halfway around the globe. Yes, for remote access you will need a wireless Internet account (for example, as offered by T-Mobile and Verizon) and a pretty decent broadband connection at your house, where the desktop computer with the TV tuner is located."



MyTinyTV allows you to use your Pocket PC to access TV remotely (over a broadband connection), complete with listings if you live in the USA or Canada. There's a free 7-day trial version if you wish to test it first; $59.00 USD will get you the full version. Of course, the way I see it, you could always just use Orb's free streaming service, unless MyTinyTV offers some compelling features that warrant the $59 price tag.
