Channel 4's Big Brother is now available to users of video-capable mobile phones.
Viewers require a GPRS-enabled handset, smartphone or PDA to view the video stream, which they can do by sending a SMS text message (VIDEO to 83188) or via supplier Vemotion's website and other mobile content sites.
Devices are now capable of watching the show include the Sendo X, SonyEricsson P900, O2 XDA/XDA2 and HP iPAQ.
Charges start at £1 for 24 hours' access, although some mobile operators will charge extra for GPRS usage.
The 'live' stream operates on a 15-minute delay for legal reasons, and is subject to the same restrictions as the E4 continuous coverage.
Vemotion uses technology based on the international standard known as H.264, which is claimed to double performance over the previous MPEG-4 standard.
