摘要

A portable mobile communications device (110) for altering the destination of mobile television programs broadcast by a mobile television service provider (132) includes a mobile television device (250), a processor (220) running a mobile television redirect application (222) communicable with the mobile television service provider (132), and a user interface (210) for controlling the mobile television device (250) and the mobile television redirect application (222) such that mobile television broadcast programs can be simultaneously redirected to an external device in response to input received by the user interface (210) and sent to the mobile television service provider (132). The external device can include a home media server (160) or a computer (150) coupled to and communicable with the mobile television service provider (132) via the Internet (140).
