Editorial policy

MobilizedTV publishes explanatory and practical writing about television and streaming technology. An article is published when it is finished and can be defended, not when it is scheduled. Pages that exist structurally but are not yet written are marked as such and excluded from search indexing.

We describe what something does before we describe what to do about it. Where a claim depends on a specific device, service, region or firmware version, that dependency is stated rather than smoothed over.

We do not publish content generated to fill a topic list, and we do not publish articles whose only purpose is to rank for a query. We would rather have a small number of pages that answer something properly than a large number that do not.

Technical claims are traced to primary sources wherever a primary source exists: published standards, specification documents, regulatory filings, manufacturer documentation, peer-reviewed research and first-hand testing. Secondary reporting is used to locate a fact, not to substitute for it.

Articles that rest substantially on outside sources carry a sources section listing them, with links, so a reader can check the basis of what we have written rather than taking it on trust. Historical retrospectives always carry one.

Where something is measured, we say how it was measured and on what. Where something is not verified, we say that instead of implying otherwise. Uncertainty is stated in the article rather than hidden behind confident phrasing.

We do not manufacture quotations. If we did not conduct an interview, no words are attributed to anyone as though we had.

Figures that we cannot verify are not published. This applies to performance numbers, availability claims, market sizes and audience counts, on editorial and commercial pages alike.

Errors are corrected as soon as they are confirmed. A correction that changes the substance of an article is noted in the article itself, with the date, rather than applied silently. Typographical fixes and clarifications that do not change meaning are made without a note.

We do not remove an article to deal with a complaint about its accuracy. If something is wrong we correct it and say so; if it is right, it stays.

Corrections can be reported through the contact page. Include the URL and, where possible, a source. We read everything sent to us. We cannot promise to reply to everything, and we do not set a published response time we could not reliably meet.

Every article carries the date it was published and, where it has been revised, the date of the most recent substantive revision. Both are honest: we do not re-date an article to make it appear current when nothing has changed.

Some subjects on this site move — regulatory timetables, platform behaviour, device support. Where an article depends on a position that may since have shifted, it says so in the article and points to the authority a reader should check directly.

We do not put the current year in titles to signal freshness. A title says what the article is about.

This domain previously carried a different publication, active between 2007–2011. The current publication did not write that material, holds no rights to it, and does not reproduce it in whole or in part — including by close paraphrase.

A small number of addresses from that period are still referenced by reference works and the technology press. Those addresses are kept working, and each carries a newly written piece on the same subject, researched from independently checkable public sources and published with those sources listed.

Every such page states plainly, on the page, that the address was part of the original publication, that the original article is not reproduced, and that the current editorial team did not write it. Nothing on this site should be read as our account of events we did not cover.

No historical address is redirected to unrelated content in order to capture its links. Addresses created during the period when this domain was used for unrelated purposes are treated as permanently gone and are never pointed at editorial pages.

The disposition of every historical address is recorded in the project’s historical URL register and summarised on the archive page.

The publisher of MobilizedTV also operates a commercial subscription service. That is a standing conflict of interest, and the correct response to it is disclosure and separation rather than pretending otherwise.

Where an article touches a market in which the publisher has an interest, that interest is disclosed in the article. Editorial explainers are not written to make the publisher's own service look better, and commercial considerations do not determine their conclusions.

We do not publish reviews, comparisons or rankings of services competing with the publisher's own. That is not a claim of superior virtue; it is a recognition that we could not do it credibly, so we do not do it at all.

The publisher’s subscription service is described on a single page — offers — which carries a commercial disclosure at the top and is kept out of editorial coverage. Articles do not promote it, and it is never presented as a review, a recommendation or a ranked option.

On that page, commercial terms that have not been confirmed are shown as unpublished rather than estimated, and catalogue figures are described as totals for the service rather than as a promise of what any individual subscriber receives.

MobilizedTV does not accept payment for coverage, for a rating, or for placement in any list. We do not sell links, publish sponsored posts, or accept guest articles placed for search purposes.

We currently use no affiliate links and earn no commission on anything we write about. If that changes, affiliate or paid arrangements will be disclosed on the page they affect, in the page itself, before the content they relate to — not in a site-wide footer note. Commercial arrangements will not determine which products are covered or what is said about them.

MobilizedTV does not currently publish product reviews or scored comparisons. Nothing on the site carries a rating, a star score, an award badge or a ranked position, and no structured data claiming any of those is emitted to search engines.

Where an article compares approaches — broadcast against streaming, one platform architecture against another — it compares them on stated criteria and explains the trade-offs in both directions. It does not conclude that one is best, because for most of these questions the honest answer depends on the reader's circumstances.

If reviews are introduced, they will state how the product was obtained, how long it was used, what was tested and what was not. We do not publish superlative claims — best, number one, fastest — that cannot be supported by stated testing.

Articles are published by the MobilizedTV Editorial Team rather than under individual bylines. The publication is small, and a shared byline is more honest than attributing work to invented personalities. We do not create fictional authors, biographies or credentials.

A human editor is responsible for every published article, including for checking its factual claims against the sources listed. Responsibility for what is published rests with the publication, not with a tool.
