MonA TV (the acronym standing for " M obile Media On A ir TV ") was a platform for mobile media services via DVB-T (Digital Terrestrial Television in the old MPEG-2 standard) was receivable.

MonA did not produce its own programs but, as the license holder, made two program slots available for changing channels. Most recently in Bremen / Unterweser it was Disney Channel (Germany) and QVC all day .

history

MonA was founded as a platform for hourly broadcast window programs in order to enable more stations to broadcast terrestrially than broadcasting slots could be advertised and at the same time to develop further data services for mobile television. At times, with XXP (in the evening), dhd24 (at night) and another shopping channel, three programs were broadcast every hour, but no other data services yet.

At the wedding of the project, data services such as news, traffic and financial information were announced on the broadcaster's website, as well as other interactive media services for computers and mobile phones. These announcements on the project's homepage were later replaced in favor of a general reference to additional possible data services and the possibility of being able to access multimedia content with different mobile devices.

The station took part in the test operation of DVB-H (television for the mobile phone ) for the soccer World Cup 2006 and was previously also available via DVB-T in the regions of Berlin, Northern Germany, Nuremberg and Hanover. The respective DVB-T licenses have now expired.

reception

MonA was last received via DVB-T in Bremen / Unterweser. The provider benefited from the fact that DVB-T is marketed as a mobile "everywhere television" and around 15 million receivers were in use nationwide. Of these, around five million devices were in use in the MonA reception area in December 2008. Since this peak in technical accessibility, the transmission area had fallen sharply due to the loss of frequencies even before DVB-T was switched off.

MonA TV had applied for a license in the DVB-T area Rhein-Main, but did not get a chance. In addition, MonA lost the broadcasting slots in Lübeck and Kiel on September 20, 2009, in Berlin on February 1, 2010, and also in Nuremberg on June 1, 2010, in favor of Bibel TV . On October 1, 2011, MonA stopped broadcasting via DVB-T in Braunschweig and Hanover .

Other stations that can be received via MonA

Before the broadcast of Disney Channel and QVC, the following programs were already broadcast (as changing program windows in frequency splitting), which later either stopped broadcasting or switched to their own all-day broadcasting slots:
