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?

Not a specific Wizard Program, but thats the phone i tired this on and its cool.
I saw the article on another website (coolsmartphone.com) and though, hmmm sounds good, but i bet it ends up being rubbish. So i downloaded the software, installed it on my computer, set up and account and then went to the URL provided by the software.
Had a quick look around, and within 2 minites was streaming BBC News 24 direct to my phone... FULL SCREEN
This software does everything it says and does it well, i would recommend it to anyone.
So now i will be recording my TV on my pc and streaming it to where ever i can get on a wireless netowrk, mostly at work, hehe
Hope you all enjoy this, i know i will be.

Note that if you have a TV tuner on your computer, you can also stream live TV. And Tivo users can stream saved shows. Not to mention photos and music. It automatically adjust to your bandwidth. Whether watching at work (breaks only) or on my Wizard.
For steaming live TV u must live in the US. It doesn't know any other channels/listings.
It can also stream MCE recorded TV and of course stream audio. I needed to use TCPMP however since WMP10 keeps skipping to the next song in a playlist after 20 seconds.
Best part of it all: it re-encodes your audio/video base on the bandwidth your using at the moment. So even streaming through GPRS works, although the quality ain't that good of course.
Great program. Wouldn't wanna live without it

it works doesn't it? , framerate is ok, buffering fast/limited, installed on home PC works ok
love the webcam option [allows me to look into my study. while at work/on the road]
Actually, it doesn't. I was unable to stream media for some reason port 80 was inaccessable. I don't run skype and I made a firewall rule to allow incoming and outgoing TCP/UDP for port 80. No go.
Regardless, it did slow down my 3.2ghz laptop with 1GB RAM.

Try moving it to port 8080. My cable provider blocks port 80, claiming that they do it to protect us from codered.

OK, I did search thru Google & didn't see any thread about live streaming from Hermes( besides this ones & alike: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320573 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288857 )
Is there any application out there to use Hermes as live video cam to stream video(using 3G/Wi-Fi) directly from Hermes itself without using a PC? Basically u'd be able to 'telecast' in real time... I guess, then it'll need something like pocket Y! msngr(if there's any, "PPC-Skype" don't have any options to carry video) or similar to carry live video streaming out...
Does Windows Live for WM6 have an option to carry vids?
Any thoughts/help is highly appreciated
You mean 2 people w/ Hermes on a video chat? That would be interesting, isnt that what the video dialer is for? I want to know if something like this works..
The Hermes doesn't have anything approaching sufficient hardware to be able to capture AND encode AND broadcast in realtime, or even anything approaching that... The only reason things like CoolCamera work is because the PC's doing half the work, the phone's just passing a raw stream via its AS connection.
Plus, with the majority of 3G networks in the world today, you'd have to connect the device to some kind of third-party broadcasting node, because nearly all 3G networks' connections to the web are via a single (or single block) of IP addresses, so all devices coming from the 3G network are effectively NATted. I guess you could audio stream, because Skype (sorta) works, but you'd probably need to write software - something like a bespoke encoder for Windows Media Services, which could connect to a WMS streaming server and do audio only. There's no way I could see the Hermes doing video, even with divine intervention!

A Q: I understand that there's a software to install on PPC but how someone on a PC (on other end) watch the particular live stream from Comvu servers?
Thanx again pal.
I try to open a channel on http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/live/tv/
and all I get is this:
"your device appears to be unable to support this service"
Why is this the case?
Read the "BBC iPlayer on HTC Touch HD" thread and it tells you how to tweak Opera to allow iPlayer to work.
I still find http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/live/tv doesn't work but if you make the changes and use http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer (when it works) you can watch live tv that way. I had it working a few minutes ago. Resolution not great but I watched over 3G and it was very good

thanks for the tip!
Its because the BBC are **** heads. There is no technical reason why almost any smart phone cant work with iPlayer, but the BBC chose to support only a few devices. NOT the way a publicity funded broadcaster should behave.
Trust me i also have an N95 8GB and have to use hacks to view iPlayer that works on the N96 natively.
Okay via that link I can get Live TV and Radio to work, but no shows from the previous days' schedules.
Why the BBC are restricting WM devices from accessing iPlayer is beyond me. It disgusts me because our TV(tax) licence money pays for this, they are a public service broadcaster but restricting things to favour the iPhone (probably getting paid off by Apple anyway as is everyone else).. I think the BBC should have a legal duty to get this working for ALL mobile devices
BBC Live Streaming...
Here Here
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 ? ? ? ? ? ?

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?
For anyone who is interested, I have both a Slingbox Pro & a Hava/Monsoon/Vulkano Pro.
Both of these devices have Android players available to stream live TV to your phone although the Vulkano app is a free DL & the Sling app is $30 (it should be free)
These two devices are completely different & each has distinct advantages over the other. The Vulkano records to a 1 TB hard drive so it works as a DVR but only at 720p resolution & if you want to watch it on your phone you need to record at an even lower resolution.
The Slingbox has two tuners in it, which is really handy as I can hook my High Def cable box to one tuner & basic cable to the other. I can then watch a different channel on the phone than the home TV is set on. The Slingbox will work fine with no TV connection at all, which is a HUGE advantage over the Vulkano which has no internal tuner at all.
The Vulcano HAS to be hooked to a TV & then it only provides a 720p signal to the TV which is a noticeable downgrade in picture quality on my 50" LCD TV. It does provide really good quality streaming video quality however, better than the Slingbox on the phone.
So basically, the Vulkano gives a better image on your phone, but degrades the image on the TV it's hooked to. The Slingbox doesn't need a TV connection at all, but doesn't record & charges for the software app.
there is a way to get free app for sling, sorta if you subscribe to dish i believe their dish app connects to their sling adapter and you can sling for free as long as you are subscribed to their satellite service, one thing i am sure of they have an android app because i have seen it in the market and its free.
Which one will let you burn the show to a disc from your laptop? Or add items already on your dvr to the device to take and watch?

You can do both with the Vulkano.
I also had the slingbox pro and it was giving me a jacked up pic on Win 7, tried everything (some posts said to change win themes, etc.- none of it worked, which is why I got a Vulkano).
The only real drawbacks to the Vulkano are that it doesn't record to your PC in HD and only passes 720p resolution to the TV (from what I've read- not a big deal if you have an HDMI cable running to your TV and component running to the Vulkano, which I do), and it only has capability for one video input at a time (so no hooking up your DVD player and TV at the same time).
One of the cool features of the Vulkano is that you can record whatever program you're watching directly onto the laptop you're watching it on, or you can record it to an external hard drive connected to the Vulkano- you choose. Plus you can program remote signals into the vulkano (I haven't done it yet, so I don't know how well it works). It also records into mp4 format (H.264).
I bought a component switch ($26) that works by remote and plan on hooking up my blue ray that does streaming netflix so I can get whatever I want streaming from netflix onto my HTC HD2 (with dual boot to android- vulkano doesn't have an ap for windows based phones as of yet, I know, it's supposed to- but they can still play the mp4s).
I can let you know how it works out once it arrives if you like.
TestTube / Havafun
This is for anyone stuck with an older tv-box like the Hava Player [myhava.com/havamobileplayer.html] (Monsoon's predecessor to it's Vulkano products) i have. Check out [sites.google.com/site/overvoltagesoft/home/testtube] Over Voltage Soft's TestTube (avail. in market). TestTube is an:
Application for Android powered devices that allows owners of Hava place-shifter devices to watch and control their TV.
TestTube doesn't work like the commercial Hava Software that you've probably downloaded directly from Moonson Media. Instead of requiring a Username and Password to connect to your Hava, TestTube requires only the IP address of the device. Since this is a homebrew project that is unaffiliated with Monsoon Media, TestTube does not have access to the login servers which normally redirect you to your device.

Being that I run Ubuntu and there is no native client support I have to manually watch through the crappy RTSP stream and use just-barely-working scripts (see below) to channel change and all that. See: [sourceforge.net/projects/havafun] Havafun - A package of shell binaries that talk directly to the Hava video streaming device, control key features from the command line (particularly on linux), grab high quality "local" video stream (particularly on linux) for eventual inclusion into MythTV. I imagine almost the same thing could be done from an android box if anyone was interested and proficient enough.
