Methods, apparatuses, and computer media are provided for supporting roaming between platforms which allow for continuous delivery of the same content. A mobile terminal receives digital content from a current signal for a selected service from a current platform. The mobile terminal obtains platform information about another platform that provides the selected service in a candidate cell. When the mobile terminal determines that the signal quality is below a predetermined threshold, the mobile terminal selects another signal in a candidate cell. When the current platform is not available in the candidate cell, the mobile terminal performs a roaming procedure by changing platforms. When the current platform is supported in the candidate cell, the mobile terminal performs a handover to the candidate cell. The mobile terminal may evaluate the availability of roaming services and select another signal based on the availability of roaming services.
