BSNL 3G MiMobi TV
Deceptive Charging and Illusive rates

I wanted to watch TV on my mobile. Little did i know that it was still a dream.

You first have to send an SMS “MY3GTV” & send to 55447 (Rs. 2 for the SMS) and then the application link is sent to your mobile handset via SMS. Once the application downloads (Approx Rs 2 for the download charged by BSNL.)

I then installed and opened the application and selected watching mobile TV - Channel ESPN MobileTV for one day (Charged Rs. 10 for one day subcription)

Once I selected the channel it took five minutes to activate.

Post which a list of programmes comes up, this is again confusing as there is no time mentioned and I was assuming the ESPN channel to load LIVE which did not happen. I selected almost all porgrammes in the list but none seemed to be working all that I got was a buffer for 2 minutes and then a message saying " the channel will show at scheduled time." or something similar. I dont remember the exact text.

Once i exited the channel I was charged around Rs.5 for the programmes none of which played forget live streaming of the videos.

I wasted Rs 19 for nothing which i could have used to make atleast 1900 seconds of calls (@ 1p/sec)
