The easiest way to try mobile TV is to go on the windows mobile site that's on the front or the browser, comes with the phone. They have sample videos and you can also sign up for a trial of WM live TV. The quality is much better I expected.

You could just stream a movie or something you have on your pc without hooking up all the tv stuff......At least you can see how it streams.

Ti find Mobile Tv: Open "Internet Explorer Mobile". Tap the "Windows Mobile" 2/3 the way down the scteen. Under M
"Mobile Friendly Web Sites" find "Windows Media Mobile" At the top of te screen is "Watch Live TV" There are demo's and ten a free trial. I was just watching MSN TV and it was working great!

I think he meant install it on your phone - and try streaming music or videos from your computer. I don't have a tv tuner (and am not really interested in getting one) but I do use ORB for streaming music, Tivo'd videos (both from the Tivo and those that are stored on my computer), and for showing pictures from the computer. And that's at 1x! - sheureka
