Playa Vista,Calif. – May 15, 2013 – Belkin, creator of people-inspired technology products, today announced the availability of its receiver accessory for Dyle™ mobile TV which enables live broadcast television content on an Apple iPhone or iPad. Paired with the Dyle™ TV app, the new Dyle mobile TV receiver makes live broadcast television available, without an Internet connection, to the millions of iOS device users in 37 major markets across the country.

“While mobile broadcast technology has been around for a while, the Belkin receiver accessory with Dyle mobile TV enables consumers to receive local broadcast television on a device they already own,” said Nate Kraft, director of product management at Belkin. “It’s plug-and-play simplicity, with no wireless data limits or the need for Wi-Fi. Consumers can enjoy live TV anywhere—from the waiting room to the bus stop.”

Weighing less than six ounces and less than half the size of a deck of cards, the Belkin receiver with Dyle mobile TV is a compact and portable accessory that easily fits into a pocket or small purse. To enable, simply plug the accessory into the iPhone or iPad’s 30-pin connector, extend the flexible titanium antenna for maximum reception coverage and launch the Dyle TV app, currently available for free in the App Store. The Dyle TV app features an easy-to-navigate channel guide that shows the user which local stations are available in each market for users to watch live, local television. Channel availability will vary by location; for more information, please see the Dyle service map at: http://www.dyle.tv/coverage-map/.

“The Belkin accessory, in combination with the Dyle app, turns the large existing base of iOS smartphone and tablet devices in the market today into portable TVs,” said Salil Dalvi and Erik Moreno, co-general managers of MCV. “We have worked hard to amass a large coalition of broadcasting partners to offer live programming that consumers want. It’s an exciting development in the progress of mobile TV as we continue to give consumers choice across various mobile devices and platforms.”

LAS VEGAS, Apr 08, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) — –Reach expands to 57% of U.S. Households Dyle(TM) mobile TV, presented by Mobile Content Venture (MCV), announced today that it will expand its service to three new markets: Baltimore, Jacksonville and Salt Lake City, with expansion of its channel lineup in New York with the launch of WCBS-TV (CBS). Dyle mobile TV is a consumer mobile service that brings live broadcast television, including local and national news, sports and entertainment programming to mobile devices at home or on-the-go. In addition to new markets, Dyle mobile TV is adding one new station group – Sinclair, which previously announced stations and markets – bringing the total number of broadcasters participating in Dyle to 18 and total markets to 39.

Participating station groups will provide registered Dyle mobile TV users with live, broadcast programming on mobile devices in their respective television markets. The stations will be implementing standards-based conditional access from Dyle for authentication in a TV Everywhere environment.

“In today’s multi-screen environment, the notion that broadcasters should use a portion of their spectrum to transmit a live simulcast of their channel directly to viewers’ mobile devices makes more sense now than ever before,” said Paul McTear, CEO of Raycom Media, a member of the Pearl group. “Dyle satisfies our viewers’ growing demand for TV anywhere, anytime, without tapping into their data plans.”

Dyle mobile TV is operated by the Mobile Content Venture (MCV), a joint-venture of 12 major broadcast groups: Belo Corp., Cox Media Group, E.W. Scripps Co., Gannett Broadcasting, Hearst Television Inc., Media General Inc., Meredith Corp., Post-Newsweek Stations Inc. and Raycom Media, all of which are part of the standalone entity known as Pearl, LLC, as well as Fox, ION Television and NBC.

In addition to the 12 stations Sinclair announced last week, the following new stations also announce their plans to launch the Dyle mobile TV service in 2013:

– Baltimore – WBAL (NBC)

– Cleveland – WOIO (CBS)

– Dayton – WDTN (NBC)

– Greenville, SC – WSPA (CBS)

– Jacksonville – WTEV (CBS), WAWS (FOX), WTLV (NBC), and WJXT (Ind)

– Kansas City – KCTV (CBS)

– New York – WCBS (CBS)

– Portland – KOIN (CBS)

– St. Louis – KMOV (CBS)

– Tampa – WTSP (CBS)

“Expanding our station footprint in existing and new markets is critical to our success as we give more of the U.S. the ability to access live, local mobile TV on-the-go,” said Erik Moreno and Salil Dalvi, co-General Managers of MCV. “With these additions, we will be able to offer our services across 70 percent of the top 50 markets. This positions Dyle strongly for 2013 and beyond, as we look to make live broadcast programming an accessible, cost-efficient and regular component of daily life.”

With this announcement, Dyle mobile TV service will be available through 116 stations in 39 markets, reaching 57% percent of the U.S. population. These markets include: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Dallas, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Boston, Houston, Detroit, Tampa, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Orlando, Portland, Cincinnati, Greenville SC, West Palm Beach, Birmingham, Knoxville, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, St. Louis, Cleveland, Charlotte, Seattle, Raleigh, Kansas City, Columbus, Tulsa, Austin, Dayton, Montgomery, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Jacksonville and Salt Lake City.
