Last April 1, Smart's digital mobile TV was suspended indefinitely as its permit to broadcast has expired. It has been close to 3 years since Smart MyTV was launched back in July 2007. Smart has not yet officially announced the service cancellation but mobile subscribers are already receiving text messages early this week. Apparently, Smart MyTV has been running on a demo permit (likely from the NTC) which expired last March 31, 2010. It's not yet sure if Smart has applied for extension of this permit but for the last 3 years, subscribers have been getting the service for free. When I was offered to get my hands on an N77, I was excited to finally be able to try Smart myTV and see if it lives up to the hype. Only this one and the N92 are able to receive digital TV signals over the air which is being widely marketed by Smart for their myTV service. However, this could be attributed more to the coverage of Smart myTV rather than the phone itself.
