Audiovox, partnering with Qualcomm, have launched a mobile television product called FLO TV. Installed in any vehicle with an existing mobile entertainment system (must have auxiliary A/V input), the FLO TV device allows passenges to enjoy a wide variety of programming while on the road.
For as little as $10/month (plans vary, check with www.flotv.com for more info), a mix of live, simulcast and time-shifted broadcasts are available. FLO TV is a terrestrial-based system, not satellite, so coverage is not coast-to-coast. However, all major metropolitan areas are covered, as well as most commonly traveled highways.
Audiovox has chosen a selected group of retailers to bring the product to market. Professional installation is required. FLO TV can be added to an existing system, or installed as a part of a new mobile entertainment system. The maximum monitor size for proper resolution is 10.4″, so it will work perfectly on all headrest monitors and most overheads.
The system includes the FLO TV receiver, an unobtrusive exterior antenna and two remote controls. One of the remote controls is hard-wired to the receiver, so if the wireless remote is lost or damaged the system can still be operated. That’s smart thinking when many of the users will be children.
