The BBC has started trialling the service and went live with it this morning. If this sounds like something you’d like to try, point your Nokia 5800’s browser to http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/live/tv/ where you will be presented with a warning page, informing you that best results can be delivered over Wi-Fi.

The programme will buffer and start up in RealPlayer, just like the iPlayer shows do. It takes a few seconds for the images to start showing but audio kicks into life almost right awa
If you want to use the service, make sure of your data allowances under the terms of your contract as streaming live TV over your phone could be costly.
We’ve no word on whether the service will work with other handsets, as we’ve only seen it work on the Nokia 5800. There is also no word from the BBC when the service will be officially announced.
