DTV Coming to Your Mobile Device



WASHINGTON, D.C. - A new mobile digital television signal means you can take your favorite shows with you on the go-- live.
On Friday, FOX 5 got a demonstration of digital TV in action. With this new signal, you can receive broadcasts on a laptop, cell phone or mobile device.
How much will that convenience cost? Prices haven't been announced yet, but one company plans to offer a connection for laptops for $99. Handsets could cost between $300 and $400.
An association of 800 TV stations agreed Thursday on a broadcast standard for the digital signals. Eventually, you could also be able to get emergency alerts customized by location, live audio feeds, and traffic information all on your mobile device.
