With the invention of DVD players in cars, it’s truly only a matter of time before the ability to watch our favorite shows in the comfort of our own cars via streaming programming, becomes mainstream, and FLO TV is on the cutting edge, making it possible to do just that by offering up top-rated entertainment, news, sports and children’s programming via its TV Auto Entertainment service, which delivers real time programming over a digital network. Up until now, the only other way to get TV on the go has been through satellite tv services such as Dish Network.

Consumers can get one year of FLO TV Auto Entertainment service at their dealership when they purchase a new car, and annual viewing plans start at $119.00 per year, or 3-year plans starting at $299.00, which is less than $9.00 per month.

FLO TV Auto Entertainment is compatible with all vehicle makes and models and can be added to any overhead or headrest entertainment system – with screen sizes up to 10.5 inches. With reportedly 23 million vehicles in the States already equipped with existing in-car entertainment systems, the FLO TV system can be retrofitted to existing systems - so it’s not just for new vehicles.  Consumers can purchase the system and service through a dealership as an add-on to a mobile video system when they buy a new car, which will be included in the overall vehicle cost. 

The FLO TV system will also be available for purchase separately in major retail outlets by the end of 2010.

A quick look at the website shows that some of the programming available for the in-vehicle entertainment system includes Comedy Central, CNBC, MSNBC, MTV and more.
