It's March Madness time and my company WebSense's our network and will have this blocked out. Is there a way to watch the games on our phones streaming the feed from the NCAA/CBS? They have a service for this in place, i just have no idea what I need to use for my Titan
possibly CBSsportsline.com and sign up for OnDemand (it's free), then use your Skyfire browser
would Opera be able to handle it?
does it allow imbedded video like Skyfire?
I watch the games on my phone with my slingbox.
I use my Slingbox as well.
You could also try MobiTV.
This is one of the times during the year when SlingBox shines. I find the Skyfire embedded flash-video to be quirky/flaky. IMHO.
Ah, March Madness. There was a great post about this on WMExperts, over here
I'm using MobiTV Right now (watching ESPN Mobile TV) with a mix of the the webpages. I want to check out the Zumobi offering for March Madness. However, Slingbox is probably by FAR the best option available. Too bad I don't have a Slingbox
The webiste from the NCAA requires Windows Media Player - but when I log in with Opera Mobile 8.65 - it tells me I'm missing the Windows Media Player plugin - and oddly directs me to where I can download the Firefox plugin....
I tried in PIE, and it just crshes on the site.....
Anyone try NetFront ?
(Wishes he had Skyfire or an Opera 9.5 beta...)
FWIW it is currently working pretty good using skyfire, although Ive had trouble getting into skyfire today. The video is somewhat laggy, but overall its pretty good. Not as good as my sling though.
I also tethered a bit and used my Asus EEE in combo with slingbox and it works GREAT!
Go Vols!
i use orb to watch live and recorded TV on my tilt.... i did it on my wizard with EDGE also....
you need a tv tuner card.... i 4

This is a no brainer Slingbox by far.. I mean you shouldn't even use Skyfire in the same sentence as Slingbox when it comes to watching TV.
Chalk another one for the slingbox. I'm using it on edge and as long as I got 3 or 4 bars I get a smooth pic.
grr, you dont need sling box, i watch live tv, recorded TV and anyother media on my home PC on my kaiser with ORB.
you can get a $40 tv tuner card and your done...

Hi,
I have searched the internet and as far as I'm aware, there isn't a Windows Mobile app that plays the BBC iPlayer.
I have notice that the new Nokia N96 has this functionality.
Is their already a windows mobile application for the iPlayer?
If not would it be feasible to have an application similar to the youTube one?
Thanks

Iplayer Not Possible On Any Phone..
BBC IPLAYER ACCESS ON DIAMOND/ANY PHONE NOT POSSIBLE...
THE ONLY MOBILE BROWSER CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING THE LATEST FLASH ETC IS SKYFIRE,BUT SKYFIRE USES AN AMERICAN PROXY SERVER WHICH CAUSES "MUST BE IN UK TO WATCH " ERROR
THEREFORE BBCIPLAYER IS NOT POSSIBLE AND WONT BE UNTIL SKYFIRE CREATE A UK PROXY SERVER (NOT FOR A LONG LONG LONG TIME)
I have had a go at this (unsuccessfully). I even tried spoofing opera's user-agent to an iphones user-agent but although I got the iphone version of the iplayer website, the streams would not play. (there was some text visible about requiring a plug-in)
The BBC rather too accurately detect the flash version. I've just a similar problem with my Ubuntu 8.10 install until I rolled flash back to version 9.

iPlayer to synchronise shows on PCs and phones
The BBC's iPlayer service will synchronise downloaded TV shows across all your PCs and mobiles, as part of a forthcoming integration with Windows Live Mesh, writes Barry Collins in Los Angeles.
a valid point merrica
although,this mobile integration of live mesh and bbc iplayer
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/233295/iplayer-to-synchronise-shows-on-pcs-and-phones.html# is good ,its still not what we need as it is limitied to what you have on your home pc,its exactly the same as using orb or any other mobile-streaming app....the point is real-time bbciplayer access wont be possible for a while
(i mean going to bbc iplayer and randomly choosing a show.i.e. tonights eastenders..this wont be possible until skyfire has a uk proxy option)
You do know that you can
download programme content from the iplayer website an then upload it to your phone and watch through WM player. It does need to download the DRM to your phone.

I tried doing this for the first time yesterday, but when I put the file onto my diamond it would'nt play the file due to DRM. you put that it needs to download the DRM to your phone.... so how does it do that?
It'd be nice to be able to stream it straight to the phone, but i'd be happy to download the shows that I want for now, but don't know where to start with DRM??
open in wm player and should auto download opening both ie and opera for some reason. both pages will be blank. please note this takes ages sometimes
I have managed to get the N96 / Samsung I900 streams to work fine on my X1.
http://blog.artesea.co.uk/2008/11/b...-the-x1-or-even-the-diamond-or-touch-pro.html
Can you test with your Diamonds?
it seems to work but the iplayer service keeps going down,so i will try again later and hopefully get to see a stream.
I've heard that iPlayer seems to work fine on the latest beta of Skyfire, which also plays youtube flawlessly. Here is the review of skyfire (http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1476)
Iplayer on wm6 with ease
Skyfire Beta is now available to anyone in the uk. I downloaded it the other day and can now view any website including Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Joox, gamesloth and so on. It runs the webpage from thier systems and you view it on your handset. give it a blast. its free.
ive been using skyfire for a while,i would just like to see other browsers having this capability,
Maybe in opera it might sit the picture on the screen a bit better without having to rotate the screen and stuff.
Is anyone getting sound from the bbc iPlayer on Skyfire?

I got sound on my X1 when using SkyFire. There is an option in SkyFire to disable/enable audio, also double check the iPlayer has the volume set.
Has anybody on any of the networks got the HD working with any of the mobile tv packages that networks offer?
just wondering if the HD is compatible with mobile tv.
if so, does it work well and is it worth getting?
Well, its just a program, so if you can find it and install it(google ) then you could test it. I haven't heard of anyone really using it on the Blackstone since it comes with youtube.
yes
TV works on my Blackstone (around 25 channels + VOD)
Network: SFR (France Vodafone)
well, it's nice to have it but i consider it more as a gadget as we can do more interesting things with the device than watching tv!
and since the quality isn't so good (video resolution something around 160*120, sound mp3 16kbits) i can't really enjoy the experience. Waiting for HD TV!
so... YES it's compatible and YES it works well but..
Diamond TV works just fine.
how exactly does this tv work? do i need internet-connection or what is it like?

Yes, you need an internet connection.
Works also with Orange FR.
Sad point for you, it's a service from the operator, that links through a streaming link the video information to your device.
In GPRS it's crap size, but if you are connected to HSDPA, you got almost full size with really good quality
is it just available from the operator? or is it also possible to watch tv with wifi?
I have mobile tv on the divice, I stream from Tdc in Danmark. This is how it works for me.
I turn on the Internet explore, and punch in the address. When I click on live-tv, my streaming medie in programs opens. Its poor quality on the divice, but for watching news on work, its great.
Take a look at this site.

If your in the UK then BBCiPlayer works.
thanks for the replys, now i know the HD is compatible i'll be buying the phone soon
its mainly sky sports that i wanted for when i get bored at work, also i'l look into the diamond tv app.
does BBC iplayer work on 3g yet or is it jus wifi?
sky sports
I want it for sky sports too and for that you have to subscribe with orange tv through the correct channels. Its supposed to be £5 for sky sports 1,2,3 etc. The link i navigated too on my phone is below
http://orangeworld.co.uk/w/15034/?sid=a542aa0f0d6c
But when i try and subscribe this is the message i get.
Unfortunately due to a technical issue, mobile TV from Orange is currently not available on your Sony Ericsson phone which is an early software version. To upgrade your handset software to the latest version, please visit the Sony Ericsson website on your PC at http://www.sonyericsson.com and select the 'Sony Ericsson Update Service' in the Product Support section - here you will be guided through the update process. Before upgrading your phone's software, please make sure you back up any files stored on it.
If you are unable to upgrade your handset this way, please contact Orange customer services by calling 150 on your Orange phone and quoting 'Orange TV Error Code: A1b5'. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
If you already have a mobile TV subscription and wish to cancel this, you can do this by clicking the 'cancel subscription' link on your mobile TV homepage (select Your TV account).
When i get a chance i'll email orange but i kinda know the answer already. Orange TV is not set up for touch HD yet.
Try DiamondTV
I use my Sling Box! works great!
I have the sky sports and news package on the touch HD working, in coreplayer. My one is from T-mobile uk, £5 a month and you get all the sky sports channels live! The quality isn't that great but thats because of the bitrate of the stream and not some limitation of the Touch HD. I sling as well which is much better quality but you will have to pay for the data transfer. the sky mobile tv is £5 a month without any extra data charges.
Hi
mobile TV works great for me:
operator: Bouygues Telecom (Fench)
unlimited data plan included
For what I know, it consists in rtsp flows, accessible via the Streaming application available on the HD , "media en continu" in French. The best way is to access those flows via the operator's dedicated portal (where you can click on links that look like rtsp://something/name of the channnel/ )
My internet-provider [ziggo] has a number of streams of live television. This works only when connected to their network. I find myself using these on my laptop on a regular base. Perfect quality! [1200 kbs]
Shouldn't it be possible for me to watch these streams on my HD in the same quality? Right now the stream isn't fluent; sound is but the video isn't.
Is the quality of the stream too high? [1200 kbs] Is WMPlayer not the best player to play these streams?

Tip: Make BBC Iplayer work on your Windows Mobile phone (info found elsewhere)
The BBC’s iPlayer service has been rolling out and supporting more and more smartphones, but as they do it on a device by device basis that has left the varied ecosystem of Windows Mobile at a distinct disadvantage.
Fortunately we have more control than most over our devices, and the following hack will allow the video streaming service to work on any device.
You need to change the user agent in Opera Mobile to spoof the Samsung Omnia, the only supported Windows Mobile phone.
The instructions are as follow:
Run Opera
In the address bar enter opera:config (no http://)
Scroll down to User Prefs and click
Scroll down to Custom User-Agent and at the end of the pre-filled text add sgh-i900
Scroll down some more and press Save. You will get a prompt which suggests you may need to reset the phone, but for this you don’t.
Check you have HTC Streaming Media Installed - If you do point your browser to http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/ and enjoy. The video opens in HTC Streaming Player on HTC smartphones.
Thanks a lot edna.road, just tried it and it works perfectly
I saw this aswell, here - http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1794
Just flashed to Dutty's V4 so going to try it when i get it back on
Tried this before christmas, but I prefer watching Iplayer through Skyfire. The latest beta works just as good. You can watch any flv site through it such as youtube etc so
The iplayer now works with the HTC Touch HD and looks great, is that getting a higher quality stream than the version for the sgh-900i?
I have tried using the same user agent as the HD
‘HTC Touch HD T8282 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)' on my standard HTC Diamond but get the message device not supported.
How is the iplayer webpage seeing the difference between my Diamond and a HTC Touch HD?
I have got the BBCi Player page to work in opera but when I click on a video it switches to streaming media then sits on buffering 0% then says can't find network!
This is on my work wifi though will try again when I am at home.
Works for me....
It works fine for me, though only at home via WiFi. Can't get it working via 3G, but may be it's not designed to?
Yeah If I have wifi turned off it asks to turn it on, but I only get GPRS or Edge at work, It may work On HSDPA

I managed to change the setting in 'opera:config' and now the BBC iPlayer page loads fine; only problem nothing will play and every time I click a link I get this box *see attached img*
Any ideas ? ? ? ? ? ?
Thanks

lol exactly!
I have got this to work with HSDPA, it streams pretty well.
Unfortunately the method is far from perfect.
After doing the above fix, connect to wifi and find the stream you want.
Start it playing and then pause, go back to comm manager, turn wifi off and phone on, it should continue streaming fine.
Not ideal though I know.
This suggests that it's the beeb blocking it rather than the carrier. Hmmm.
("Hmmm" was just to make me sound wise - I have no fracking clue what to do next)
Are there any WM phones where it's known to work over the air?
BBC now reports native support HTC Touch HD, over wifi+3G. Does anyone have the User Agent for the HD, as would like to try it on my Diamond
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/about_iplayer/mobile_phone
hmmn still only wifi for us diamond users on orange it seems, this is taken from theabove link check paragraph 3:-
What each heading means
Download TV programmes over wifi to watch later without needing an internet connection. If you download a programme, you can watch or listen to it for 7 days. Devices that don't currently support the digital rights management (DRM) system that we use for BBC iPlayer cannot download programmes to watch or listen to later.
Watching TV programmes while connected to the internet over a wifi connection.
Watching TV programmes while connected to the internet over a 3G connection - *only available on 3 and Vodafone networks at present.
Radio - listen again or listen live to programmes while connected to the internet.
Sideload - transfer a programme from your PC to your mobile device to play without needing an internet connection.
Good tip but I'd prefer it to work through HSDPA. Any chance of this happening soon?
Anyone know a way to get iPlayer working in Opera on this phone?
Would be great if it worked, also for Non-Brits,
iPlayer can't exist within any browser on WinMo at the moment due to lack of support but you do have 2 options.
Either you can download myPlayer (my personal preference and works fantastically well, especially when paired with Coreplayer) or the Opera hack that's well known.
The second option will only allow Opera to display the iPlayer website, however, and streams are opened in Steaming Player which seems to be rather hit and miss. It also doesn't work over WiFi, only 3G so make sure you have an unlimited data plan before you use it!

...like I said the hack will allow you to view the iPlayer site in Opera but the streaming videos are opened separately in Streaming Player (or whatever you specified in the Opera.ini file as an alternative.)
Streaming Player is not brilliant at viewing streams and it only seems to work over 3G, certainly on my TP2 anyway.
Would still recommend myPlayer paired with CorePlayer. I use it extensively on my phone and it works brilliantly over both 3G and WiFi.
I agree with h0wz3r.
Till BBC releases the iPlayer for the TP2 myplayer + coreplayer is the next best thing.
