This paper proposes an end-to-end system solution of mobile TV extension to WiFi networks. We integrate WiFi network components into mobile TV system, which intends to extend the mobile TV content to the WiFi networks with the additional local dependent content. Recognizing the high end-user demand for location dependent services, we provide the dynamic and hybrid ESG (Electronic Service Guide) transmission solution rather than fixed broadcasting transmission in traditional mobile TV system. The complexity of the solution is analyzed and scalability can be guaranteed through the common web application servers. Part of this work is under the EU FP6 project Mobiserve which aims to enrich value-added services for mobile TV broadcasting through mobile and TV service convergence.
