Oh goody! I wonder if the service will be as unreliable and patchy as their mobile phone coverage?

Not to worry, there's always their excellent customer service to fall back on if it is....

From their blurb:

"The growing availability of sophisticated tablets and smartphones, and the introduction of 4G across the UK, has fundamentally changed the way consumers enjoy TV."

I wonder if all the marketing like this will eventually succeed in making some of us forget that there used to be devices called portable TVs.

In fact there still are, as well as TV dongles for a few quid that would plug in to the tablet or phone so as to watch TV without using loads of mobile data capacity.
