Hey all,
Glad to have found a community of like minded individuals interested in tech and gadgets here in Hong Kong.
I've been recently having a long and frustrating conversation with PCCW regarding their support for mobile channels such as Live Sports HD on phones such as the Android or even iPhone.
The simple thing is, I plan to get one of these phones within the next 2 months, and considering the new Premier League Season starting in August, I really want to be able to watch my football live on mobile whenever I wish.
Now, PCCW, for all their marketing hype about being innovative, still doesn't support iPhone and Android when it comes to Mobile Content Channels, even tho they continuously want to get all iPhone users to come over to their 3G data plans instead. I just find this to be ludicrous, and a very lame ass business practice, and personally just think that thir tech support just can't be bothered to rack up some effort and do some work to stream the Mobile Channels to these newer technologies.
I even have talked to HTC regarding their Android HTC Magic phone and their reply has simply been "PCCW has not opened the streaming Mobile HD Channels to HTC Magic, so HTC Magic can not use this function."
For me it is simple, I more than likely want to get on the Android bandwagon, and I really want to subscribe to the Mobile Sports HD Channels.
All in all, I have been very pleased with PCCW and their NowTV and Netvigator Services, even tho they have now lost out the rights to Champions league football next season. Quite a shame. I hope there will be others here who are willing to provide me with support and support for the end-users in general to just get what they want, without limitation to particular phones. I mean c'mon, they must be living in the 19th century to not still support iPhone or Android.
If possible, please help me to write to PCCW, and continue to ask them about support for Android and iPhone for mobile HD Channels, hopefully someone will finally notice and we can get Live footbal streaming by the time the season starts.

Thank you.
Edit: for those who are not aware of the channels I am talking about, please go here - Mobile Sports Channel HD Live
If possible, please help me bring this matter to other local Chinese forums to help gain more support. Cheers.
