Abstract
Disclosed is a portable mobile communications device that can view a scrambled alternate version of a mobile television program broadcast by a mobile television service provider. The portable mobile communications device includes a mobile television receiver capable of receiving broadcasts from a mobile television service provider. A processor in the portable mobile communications device executes an alternate broadcast application that is communicable with the mobile television service provider. The portable mobile communications device and the mobile television service provider exchange PIN code data that when verified will cause the portable mobile communications device to receive a decode algorithm that can descramble the scrambled alternate version of a mobile television program broadcast by a mobile television service provider.
