What is Mobile Digital TV ?
CIOtv is equipped with the latest in digital television technology. Just like your home television, your CIOtv
television experience is digital. But that’s where the comparison stops. The CIOtv receiver can operate while
you or your vehicle is in motion.
The all new digital TV technology known as MDTV or ATSC-MH (mobile handheld) receives live TV from your
local TV station at no additional cost. It’s free. TV anywhere….anytime. NOTE: MDTV is not available in all local
channel areas.
TV stations in major markets are in the process of adding Mobile Digital TV to their regular broadcast offerings.
You’ll find that many stations have multiple MDTV channels with a variety of programming ranging from regular
network simulcast of your favorite programs to live, 24 hour news/weather, emergency reports, traffic and
business programming.
One thing to keep in mind is that MDTV is “true” broadcast TV and subject to a variety of environmental
conditions and terrain features such as severe weather, tall trees, hills and valleys. Under ideal conditions you
can expect good TV reception up to 30 or even 40 miles from the broadcast tower.
To find local ATSC-MH broadcast channels, use the channel scan feature on your CIOtv or go to
www.omvcsignalmap.com for an up-to-date listing of available MDTV stations and channels in your area.
