The LG Vu Plus uses MediaFLO for AT&T's Mobile TV service. Mobile TV is a step up from the streaming clips you might be used to from carriers, but unless you are going to be relying on the service for entertainment on a long commute, I'm not sure it's the best option. Picture quality was good, but not as good as a pre-recorded video played off a microSD card or even basic cable television. I saw plenty of blocky pixels, even on the Vu Plus' compact screen. Programming options range from last night's reruns to boring old movies, with some rare exceptions. For instance, ESPN showed some World Cup matches live on ESPN mobile, but the Wimbledon quarterfinals were shown as a rerun after the live broadcast had ended.
