TV Mobile now in 2006.
-
Okok, i have checked out for all the TV mobile threads, which appears all to be 2003-2005, so i think i start one for 2006/2007. Dont flame me if i duplicated a thread
So, TV Mobile has been around for a period of time, so how are you all finding it? Post your thoughts here!
My thoughts for TV mobile : Interesting first, Irritating later.
-
Irritating at first... and has always been irritating ever since.
My bus rides used to be a time of solitude and reflection for me... but that ended with TVMobile. -
Very irritating, 'cos the speakers scream when no on in the screen is, and just because of signal problems. Have they not solved it for so long? Very disappointed with the wonderful creation turn-bad...
-
now i seldom take long-journey bus trips....so it does not affect me much.....
sometimes i talk to fren or zzzz on the bus, neber notice wats on the tv.........
but i like the gags and just for laffs...... -
lucky there's FM radio and mp3 player in my hp!
-
Yeah , Hear music stuff betterOriginally posted by sinicker:lucky there's FM radio and mp3 player in my hp!

Even so, I find the music from my MP3 player competing with the noise from the TVMobile set.Originally posted by sinicker:lucky there's FM radio and mp3 player in my hp!
And don't tell me to turn up the volume on my MP3 - I have acute tinnitus (aka persistant ringing sound in my ears). -
it is interesting for me until now.
cuz whenever i board a bus, it is showing just for laugh... -
So damn irritating!
-
I try to take SMRT buses.
No TV mobile. -
And recently, TV Mobile is showing boring fashion shows, those with models walking up and down the runway. Would the general public be interested in those? Very unlikely. Why show something which few people are interested in?
-
Actually not all SBS Transit buses have TV Mobile ... like those Wheelchair Buses and some others especially .... nice and silentOriginally posted by SexyChin:I try to take SMRT buses.

The person who came up with the idea got to be shot!

i think he is still enjoying his payout for such a brilliant idea!Originally posted by BigDaddyCool:The person who came up with the idea got to be shot! -
Yah lor, I remembered when it 1st started, there were lots of interesting variety shows, MTV Screen & MTV Non-Stop HitsOriginally posted by jetabt767400:And recently, TV Mobile is showing boring fashion shows, those with models walking up and down the runway.

But now, can even use fingers to count the number of programmes they have, the only thing interesting is the Just For Laughs
-
Other than Just for laughs and CNA,
i cant remember what else they show
-
erm

Afternoon sometimes Just For laughs but NO MOVIES!

Well, when it was first introduced, most people if not all says its good & stuff like that but as time flies, people will tend to get sick of it...for me, in my opinion, its a waste of money & sometimes, the volume is really distracting so I'd rather listen to the songs in my mp3 player instead

TV Mobile not that bad, quite good, got news and things like live NDP Telecast/President Star Challenge...

Well, if the volume is not too loud, I usually either choose to watch it, or just simply look away (which is easy for me - I lose sense of what's on after some time of ignoring it). The only times when I find it truely irritating is when:
1. Something's wrong with the screen, yet it's still switched on,
2. When the reception becomes poor,
3. The volume is too loud, and/or
4. Something I hate comes on (damn you Crazy Frog...)
One thing that goes in reverse to TV Mobile though, can be held through. It is when you try to hear what's on, yet the noise of the bus' engine drowns out the volume.
Interestingly, I can relate two of my most memorable TV experinces to TV Mobile, and one of them involved Pokémon if I'm not remembering things wrongly (SBS 1985C, are you reading this? ). It was quite some time ago, and they were doing a movie review for the Pokémon movie "The Power of One", and they happened to show a clip of the movie, and I was staring at a picture of a Lugia. 
So, I would say that TV Mobile is sort of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provides an alternative entertainment or information outlet when you have nothing much else to do. On the other hand, if any of those four irritating things come on, you have no choice but to bear with it. -
Mediacorp holds a very large market share. They are dominating like what Microsoft is doing to the PC Market...haiz..... You cant help much.Originally posted by BigDaddyCool:The person who came up with the idea got to be shot!
I thought that we could all buy over SBST and remove the TV Mobile ourselves better. Really, it is somewhat irritating if you keep hearing something that is repeated over and over again (Repeated commercials, repeated ads that u you have seen on your HOME TV set.)
Just this afternoon, i took a 66 MK IV Strider (Rego din note lol), i want to chat with my buddy. I have to compete my voice with the &#&^$*^^ Mobile's speaker
