FLO TV

Audiovox has a new portable DVD player that includes FLO TV (subscription required). Available now at Best Buy for $199.99, the DFL 710 features a built-in rechargeable battery, stereo speakers and a 7-inch diagonal 16 x 9 wide screen. It also includes an AC power adapter and car adapter.

The FLO TV service gives you access to television programs such as Comedy Central, Disney Channel, ESPN MobileTV and more (subscription required). Because the FLO TV service is delivered over a dedicated mobile TV network, there are no buffering or bandwidth issues. The device also plays CDs and DVDs (of course).

"This product represents the latest step in our ongoing efforts to bring live mobile TV to every small screen," said Bill Stone, president of FLO TV. "With Audiovox's Portable DVD Player with FLO TV, consumers who enjoy taking their media with them get the unique dual capability of playing DVDs and watching live television on the same device."Read more

If you've always wanted to take your television viewing on-the-go (on something larger than a cell phone screen), this new device might get your interest. The FLO TV Personal Television is a dedicated device that will let you watch your favorite TV programming while you're out and about.

The device receives live and time-shifted content over the FLO TV dedicated multicast network with no buffering, downloading or waiting to view content. It features a 3.5-inch diagonal screen and measures 4.4 inches by 3 inches by .5 inches and weighs a little over 5 ounces. The FLO TV Personal Television has a touch-screen for navigation and includes a built-in stand, built-in stereo speakers, and the ability to set reminders for your favorite programming.

There is a catch though…not only do you have to purchase the device for $249.99, but to watch TV programming, you will have to pay a monthly service fee, which starts at $8.99 per month. The company says it will be available in time for the holiday season.
