■Using 1Seg
The 1Seg broadcasting is a service provided by television entrepreneurs (broadcasting
stations) without requiring the subscription. Further, you can watch 1Seg programs
charge free.
※For viewing fee of NHK, contact NHK.
The information displayed in the data broadcasting area contains “Data broadcasting”
and “Data broadcasting site”.
“Data broadcasting” is displayed on airwaves together with video and audio, and “Data
broadcasting site” is displayed by connecting from the information of data broadcasting
to the sites provided by television entrepreneurs (broadcasting stations). Also, it might
be connected to “i-mode site”, etc. When connecting to sites, you need to subscribe to
i-mode separately.
You are charged a packet communication fee for browsing “Data broadcasting site”
and “i-mode site”.
You might be charged an information fee for using some sites (i-mode pay sites).
■Radio waves
1Seg is one of the broadcasting services receiving radio waves (broadcasting waves)
different from that used for the FOMA services. Accordingly, you cannot watch the
broadcasting when you are out of reach of the broadcasting waves, or when the
broadcasting is suspended regardless of whether you are in or out of the FOMA service
area.
Even when you are in the terrestrial digital TV broadcasting service area, reception
condition might be deteriorated or you might not be able to receive programs in the
following places:
・Where the radio tower that transmits broadcasting waves is far away
・Where the radio waves are blocked by geographical features such as mountains or
valleys of high-rise buildings
・Where the radio waves are weak or do not reach, such as in tunnels, underground, or
recesses of buildings
The reception conditions might be improved by moving your FOMA terminal away from
or close to you, or moving yourself to another place.
