Interim Research into Mobile TV and the hearing impaired using Virgin TV: In the early days of television, (the mechanical era), the screen size of the Baird televisor was not much larger than a mobile phone screen. Philo Farnsworth invented the electronic television and with the development of the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) the size of the screen increase first to 6 inches continues to grow to over 40 inches today. Mobile phone television is a new method in which to view television programmes. However as the screen size is very small, interactive features designed for a large widescreen receiver, are often ineffective. This paper is based on a small study of hearing impaired people using a Virgin Lobster 700 Mobile phone to view BBC One, ITV1, & E4 and if they found it accessible to hearing impaired users. It also studied the limited interactive features. The experiments took place during October 2006 soon after the service was launched. A paper on this research was presented at the recent European Interactive Television Conference 2007 (EUROiTV). A pdf of the research report will be posted here soon
