Warid doesn't have an EDGE network (as per their official announcements), and TV-on-mobile phones doesn't seem to be a viable option for GPRS-enabled handsets, unless you're willing to experience tons of jerks. It's like - Instaphone launching 3G applications, when their network isn't even ready for it. As for the pricing - I'm hoping it'll knock some sense into Telenor - as many operators worldwide have a different APN and a different charging scheme for such services (as opposed to regular GPRS charges, which you can kiss goodbye to).
