#4. FLO TV
While FLO TV is currently the most publically advertised MDTV device it also has a few major drawbacks.
Featuring a 3.5″ , 320 x 240 pixel resolution touch-screen display, built-in speakers, audio output and a wide variety of available programming compared to most current MDTV markets FLO TV is coming out of the gate strong.
However, FLO TV has several drawbacks that we believe in time will see the service fade. First, FLO TV requires not only a $250 equpiment charge for the 3.5″ display, but also requires a monthly programming charge unlike other devices sporting a ATSC-M/H tuner and allowing you to pickup free over-the-air broadcasts. Availability and programming are also limited as local broadcasters continue to adopt free MDTV broadcasts.
FLO TV has a good backing and a large headstart, but we believe free will win out in the end. [...]

I attempted to boot up the device to explore the user interface, even though I realized I was too far from Reno (not to mention the intermediary mountain chain) to be able to snag service. The unit powered up, I got to the initial splash screen…and then the FLO TV locked up hard. No key press, not even the power button, would provoke a response. I had to yank out the battery, after first going online to figure out how to get the back panel off, in order to shut the FLO TV down. [...]
