BBC and EE to test 4G TV at the Commonwealth games

BBC are partnering with EE to deliver a speedy mobile-viewing service straight from your smartphone.

EE will be transmitting live streams over the network itself using 4G technology - allowing mobile users to 'jump' onto the broadcast in much the same way you would tune into a TV channel at home.

The new feature means mobile users won’t have to stream the Games through apps like BBC iPlayer or 4oD – which can often cause congestion and lead to poor quality viewing.

According to EE, the new service will in theory, reduce dropouts and buffering and improve picture quality.

Unfortunately, the trial-service will only run at a pop-up public showcase event in Glasgow throughout the games.

A number of other TV experiments will also be on trial at the same time, including a live 360 degree feed sent to an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset and a new trial of 4K Ultra HD live video for the public to view for the first time.
Future proof your home TV package

Providers are currently offering some great deals to customers all over the UK, which not only improve your service but could end up saving you money.

Many deals also include a broadband and home phone bundled in, so you can merge all your services into one monthly bill.

You could even switch to a superfast fibre network, offering you the opportunity to stream both on demand and live content to your HD TV in crystal clear quality.

The Mirror Digital Switching Service can help you find the best deal for your home.

They'll offer you a one-to-one consultation with a broadband expert, who'll recommend the best deal based on your location, budget and the channels you watch most.
