New Nokia N96

Got my new toy sorry N96:D this morning, and I believe it can received freeview?

User guide says select TV & Video and then Live TV, but Live TV isn't there. Do I have to have this activated by Vodafone?

Or is this service not available at the moment?

Thanks in advance

    unfortunaltey it wont work in the uk due to the tuner only being dvb-h compaible whereas the uk uses dvb-t for freeview.

    its unlikely to be availble for some time (ie years) or maybe not at all.

    Which countries are dvb-h compatible?

    I'm on orange and it was already on the phone.

    Not through dvb-h, as it's already been stated, this feature is currently useless in the UK.
