    I was using Mobile Tv on Vodafone ready to go and after paying the Subscriptions was then charged for going over the 50mb daily usage limit.
    .
    As i thought the mobile tv charge was outside the 50mb limit and now it seems to be included !

    How long has this been going on ?

    If you have a subscription then you are not charged to watch the tv. However they do charge you for the pages you click to search for the video.

    So if you have reached your 50MB allowance in a day, you will be charged 2cent for every Kb you load excluding only the video clip itself.

    I was charged data for the Mobile TV itself as went on only a dozen vodafone live pages all day other than that.

    And went over the 50kb watching the Mobile tv only

    50Kb or 50MB? On the 'live' usage its 99cent no matter how much you use up to 50MB

    It is separate...the tv clip. But the time you spend finding that tv clip is charged

    General rule is 1 minute clip is 1MB of data

    But you dont need to worry, because watching a mobile tv clip wont effect your data cost.

    The only thing out of the 50mb is the pages leading up to the clip. 50MB would probably give you 500webpages, or maybe 2000 mobile friendly webpages.

    But it does effect your 50mb i have rang vodafone twice to check and they have confirmed it.

    Well i went routing on their crappy webiste and found this:
    When I download content from Vodafone live!, does this come out of my daily/monthly usage allowance?

    The data that you use to get to any Vodafone live! content will come out of your allowance. If you watch content supplied by Vodafone, such as Mobile TV or Radio DJ it doesn't come out of your daily or monthly data allowance - you just pay the subscription. Browsing to get to Mobile TV and Radio DJ is charged. Browsing and the data required to download ringtones, games etc. is also charged out of your allowance. When you download ringtones, games and other content, you must also pay for the actual cost of the content.

    Well they obviously changed that to get more money in . I have my credit gone to prove it
