mobitv? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Does anyone know of a free mobitv-like program?

not free: spbtv
free: skyfire + tv site with live stream

mobitv
PocketStreamer is one I can think of.

I would have said Skyfire and Hulu.com up until last month. Now, for some reason, Hulu has blocked access via Skyfire.
Does anyone know why?

I use Myplayer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131 in the uk and it works great.

Has any on ATT managed to get Mobitv to work on the Tilt2?

Hulu likes to keep their crap proprietary. Skyfire came out and stated the reasoning here:
http://www.skyfire.com/blog/2009/09/11/a-note-about-hulu-on-skyfire/

With Hulu blocking now, I've just about given up on mobile tv. I've tried just about everything, and really results are usually the same. There is no good US programming online.
A couple months ago watching Family Guy or a decent 10 year old movie online was nice. Now.... watching the weather forecast for Latvia or an Indian music video channel has left me sad=(
If I'm missing something, speak up please!

Follow the link in that response to the actual reply someone got from Huluu on the subject. It's amusing.
Their excuse is complete BS. There is no difference as a medium from watching Hulu on a phone vs. PC, since Skyfire provides a "desktop" mobile surfing experience anyways.
Perhaps the real reason is they feared apps like Mplayer that pulled their content without showing their full page, which I could see losing them some ad revenue. Still, it was only limited content to begin with. Their response if that's the case is a touch heavy-handed.
EDIT: Actually, since most of the networks charge for a mobile app to stream their content..... I guess it does make sense why Hulu was pressured to shut it down.

Back to the MobiTV, I am more than happy to pay(actually signed up for it) for MobiTV thru ATT, I just need an installable *.cab, if one exists

Hey, I think that cab is for Fuze, which is VGA. (sorry about that)
I hope someone with WVGA could create a cab for Touch Pro2

i use orb (www.orb.com) and stream from my home pc TV card to my phone. its free and stable.

Youtube.com going to m.youtube.com

i try to go to youtube.com and it keeps going to m.youtube.com.. can ne 1 please help me?? I have the isp.cingular connection i'm using too.
Been getting the same thing, and trying to figure out why. I would love to know what the deal is. I was hoping to see how the plugin works with the wifi and all that.
As usual
Hello
I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that most of the important web sites, look for the users browser to render the site for them in the best way possible. When you go to google, maybe cnet, hotmail, en others, they recognize you as a mobile surfer, so they know they can't give you a 1024*768 website version. Instead, they give you acces to their "mobile version web site" with less width, graphics and texts.
Youtube has his services for mobile users in m.youtube.com, the videos are not flash videos like the full web site and you dont have full access to ALL the videos. They stream you videos instead.
By the way, it seems that My ATT8525 doesn't have the codecs because I couldn't watch any videos in youtube.
It's a registry key that determines whether or not you go to the wap versions of websites, connecting through wap.cingular.com or isp.cingular.com doesn't make a difference.
I found the key after a lot of searching, but I don't remember now which key it ultimately was. Also, I don't recommend changing it. Pocket IE was downright broken when trying to view the full versions of these websites after the key was changed.
Instead, I recommend hunting around for Picsel Browser, which is a far better solution for viewing fullsized webpages on a small screen. I'm pretty sure it was posted here somewhere so you can brush up on your searching skills and find it.
An even better browser for these things would be Thunderhawk. Thunderhawk is not free, but there is no question that it is the best.

I have been unable to use TCPMP w/my T-Mobile Wing. I downloaded and installed the cab TCPMPflvplugin-v0.4.2. Nothing appears in my list of programs from the Start Menu and I am unable to open mobytube.net in my IE browser. What have I done wrong? Please help.
TCPMP does appear in my program list when I go to "Remove Programs."
I have a T-Mobile Wing w/Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
Download the program WVD (Web Video Downloader)
You can see videos (realtime) or download to your SD Card from 10/12 sites.
Perfect.

Yes, I would suggest Skyfire... It is kinda slow, but AWESOME for Flash/YouTube sites. Uses the same technology the new Internet Explorer Mobile (Unveiled today) uses.
Try the skyfire internet browser software. it lets you watch videos from basically any website and its fast.

in skyfire privacy it says: "we will save all your internet usage and all data like time, websites, etc...:"
it is discussed in many other subforums and all say the same: keep a way...
Keep away?? its a ploy? what gives

Its great as said by Brigthand, but, I hate the part where it says that 'it uses web server to capture the image of the whole web page and then sends it back to the device'. This is a great threat to our privacy who use devices to input credit card numbers; online banking etc.
My netfront still rules
Yes, understanding that I fully agree. Like someone looking over your shoulder. Definately not good!
Opera Mini does the same thing, so who cares? Just don't surf illegaly on your phone and you're good. Illegal stuff is usually too demanding for phones anyway...
I don't know why... but I guess I would trust Opera more then the creator of Skyfire. The data goes through a proxy in both which makes it much faster, same thing happens on the sidekicks.
did I get banned
hey I just got my skyfire invitation last night installed and started playing with it even checked some adult websites figured out that it does open all kinds of video but today avery time I try opening it it says lost network conection try again later just doesnt work wondering hat happened
wasn't there a transformer autobot named skyfire?
There was an announcement that it will go Public Beta Morrow!
The public beta is out now. I can't get it to work w/ the T-Zones proxy hack which is a bummer, it works over wifi tho. Pretty good so far, it plays youtube videos straight from the site.

Hey skyfire runs good on my wing I have windows 6.1 OTPV6 and I just loaded version 0.85.0.7927 from the first forums page under development & hacking. Youtube looks good and runs smooth thats running wifi , but I did notice it takes lots of battery power

Now don't most US carriers do the same thing anyway?? But like another users stated, If you’re not doing anything illegal on it, you’re good to use it. I've been using it on the old ATT Wireless (mMode) network and by that network being mainly WSP with limited Http support. Skyfire is wonderful. I have been using Opera mini and Mobile to get things done completely through http but still hitting brick walls with some sites.
With skyfire, the only wall I've come to thus far is openview... site with its certificate needing to be installed/accepted. Looking for a solution on that now. Other than that is GREAT for me and my $25 true unlimited data plan.
Here is the skyfire 0.85 public cab file.
Skyfire is a great program.
Try skyfire now!!!!!!
I like skyfire. iv been using it for a while now. it is alittle buggy but i think its worth it. It loads web pages pretty fast without wifi and with wifi enabled its really fast for a mobile browser. i just think the scrolling and the zooming function could be way better.I know that skyfire reqires your phone number to work but if your interested in trying then try this download i have below. its an older beta version, (my first 1 actuallyfrom about a year ago lol) this version may only work with wi fi enabled. Just extract, then drag the folder anywhere on your pocket pc. let me know how this works for u guys.
skyfire and opera are completely different to me skyfire has flash settings for ANY WEBSITe includin for the lonely people xD and i dont think opera has flash settings like skyfire but i hate skyfire load up screen but you need a connection i use wi fi so that a con on opera
Skyfire is Awesome!!
i have been using skyfire for three days now and it works flawless. as to the privacy issue, just dont go to places you would put vital info and just browse other sites for fun and distraction. i have been able to go to all my favorite sites. all worked wonderfull.
Skyfire too slow or too buggy?
Hi,
I asked this in another thread last week, but noone answered.
I'm using my mobile phone HTC HD2 since 2 weeks.
I'm searching a webbrowser which is able to play flash streams.
I used Opera 10... it didn't work
I tried Opera 9.5 with this fix of another thread... it didn't work
And for a few days I tried Skyfire 1.5x and the stream beginns to load, but all sites are loading very, very slowly. The other browser are loading faster.
By the way... the stream loads, but just 47% and then it's over... :'-(
Now my question:
Is there a webbrowser which is able to play flash streams?
What is the problem of Skyfire??
Regards

Skyfire v0.85 Free

Sorry for my bad english im from Mexico
The guys of skyfire has released it. You dont have to register for the free beta.
Skyfire v0.85 The best internet browser
Description:
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go. Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
What is Skyfire?
Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that allows you to experience the internet on your phone exactly like on your PC. Now, you can use the full web from your mobile phone with unprecedented speed and simplicity – without the typical restrictions and limitations that current ‘mobile web’ efforts offer. It’s “The Web”, not some mobile web.
A brand new browsing experience.
Mobile browsing exactly like your PC.
With Skyfire on your phone you can for the first time ever shop, watch web video, listen to web music and stay connected on your social network -- just as you would on your PC. We're talking about full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. Skyfire gives you speedy page loads, full audio, images and video. From Myspace, Facebook, YouTube to Hulu - it's the full web experienced on your phone.
The real web, served-up right.
Unlike other mobile browsers, Skyfire supports the desktop version of Adobe Flash applications so sites, including those that serve-up video and music, are rendered exactly as you would expect - just like your PC. You will instantly recognize the content, be familiar with the page layout -- which is not true for most mobile browsing experiences. We support all that's good about today's web - not just Flash, but also Silverlight, Ajax, QuickTime and more. And even better: Skyfire evolves with the newest capabilities without you having to do anything.
Go anywhere, see anything.
Not only do we deliver video and audio, we also deliver everything else you routinely do on the web. Get maps, check sport scores, view weather forecasts, read the news, check flights, and stay active on your favorite social networks. From the Top 10 of websites all the way down to the obscurest of pages - you'll do it all from your mobile phone just like you do on your PC.
Blazing fast.
Skyfire is faster than any mobile web browser you've ever used. You'll load web pages as fast as your PC and eliminate the long delays and error messages you get with other mobile browsers. Don't take our word for it, check out this bake-off by Laptop Magazine and see how we handily outclassed the iPhone 3G.
Easy to use.
It's easy to experience the PC web on your phone with Skyfire's clickable content and intuitive navigation. We know it's a small screen and that's why we made navigating intuitive with full screen, thumbnails and adaptable zooming modes. You simply and quickly get to exactly where you want to be on a page - navigating at speeds that make the experience enjoyable.
Quick content and simple search.
All the places you routinely visit are a click away. We have handy links to popular websites on the start page. Your bookmarks and your browsing history is just a click away. Better yet, you can even bookmark your specific view (zoom level, position) of content on a web page to get exactly to the right place in one click.
We made search simple. Use our nifty SuperBar to perform a search or enter a URL from a single field. We even suggest the most commonly used search keywords as you type. Plus the search results are from Google and Yahoo and are presented in easy to read tabs for each category: web, images, and videos, and maps. Simple and it's all a click away.
Plenty of handy features.
We're always adding new features as we roll out our beta releases. Recently, we made it easy to share and easy to find mobile sites.
Discover something on the web that you want to share? Now you can send it to your friends from Skyfire via a text message. We even shorten the URL to easily fit into a single SMS text message with room to spare for your own words.
Don't like the big web page on your small screen? Want to go to the mobile site instead? If we find a mobile version of the same site, Skyfire lets you know - then you decide if you want the mobile or full website. Simply look for a 'Mobile Version' link at the top left of a page. Skyfire even renders iPhone specific web sites nicely.
On the phone you own - and free!
You can load Skyfire on your existing Windows Mobile (version 5 or 6) or newer Symbian Series 60 phones in a few steps. In a matter of minutes, you can install it either over the air or via your PC. It's free - what more can we say. No need to buy an expensive new phone and get locked into a new contract just because you want a better mobile internet experience.
DOWNLOAD IT http://rapidshare.com/files/167088634/Skyfire_7927-PPC50.CAB
Come on now! This is NOT development & hacking material. Not to mention, of course it's free!

you are right champ but here is so many software that should not been here and a first "free" skyfire beta is really interesting.
I installed the cab but skyfire finds no connection ? It starts searching and runnes hsdpa on my polaris but i only see "connecting..." but nothing happens. Is this still limited for US citizens ? or only for wwe ROMs ?

Shouldn't be limited to the US, Skyfire's page gives the option for users outside the US and doesn't require the login anymore.
EDIT: Looks like they only have US, Canada, & UK listed for avail countries. Not bad though, ESPN loaded in under 5 sec, video playback is decent, but I still hate the UI.
0.8.5 does not work for me, in France... go back to v0.8.0.

It's likely to do with regions. I tried accessing www.hulu.com from it, knowing that it won't work on a desktop browser as I'm in the UK, and guess what? Doesn't work as it knows I'm in the UK.. As all pages are pre-rendered on the Skyfire servers, that means that I'm being served by a Skyfire server in the UK. If I were being served by a US server, Hulu would have worked.
:bah
no wvga support
Skyfire works great here in Canada!
Got to get used to the browser but, overall, it's decent.
Well, it's a good FREE alternative to PIE.... no tough to beat
Im from Mexico and Skyfire works very well on wifi
I have a Blueangel
Skyfire is good. I have tried the previous version which didn't support surfing via-proxy setting. Has this version fix that?
correct me if I'm wrong..but this has been out for at least a month hasn't it? I've been using it for at least a month
last version doesn't work!
ok it installs loads then dont work just ses locating and nothing happens this is over wifi and it works as im posting this via opera any ideas?

No, because some of the Opera builds have been redeveloped by users here, not to mention the work it takes to obtain the builds. Skyfire is a free app for anyone to download. Big difference, pay attention before you decide to argue with my point.
Thanks daniel2020,
Now I can use Skyfire in my country, as I can't download it in the official website!!!!
It is working here, but there are a few considerations: it is not real VGA, Opera is, opera is more zoom friendly.

[Q] Freeview TV guide app for WinMo?

I noticed that there was an iphone app for browsing the freeview tv schedule in the UK. Has anyone found something similar for windows mobile devices? Or do you know of any program that has the ability to download weekly updates for tv viewing? It would be nice to have an app for this.
In a totally separate question, has anyone found any Mpeg-4 usb tv sticks that can receive the new Freeview HD signals yet? I've used an mpeg-2 stick for a while and synced programs to my blackstone before, but would like to upgrade to a new HD stick. I've written to a few main players in this market, ie. Hauppuage, and they say that they won't have a product out until just before the world cup.
As an alternative perhaps someone knows of an RSS feed for the guide info?
There is one called On TV v1.31 uk, but you can't store the listings,I'm looking for one like that.

The pics aren't loading on that msmobiles site for me, and I can't see that working on the HD.
And I've already scoured google to a depth of 20 pages or so with little success.
I've started attempting to write a little program to do the things I wanted with it. As I suck at programming it's going to take a while, but if I ever get it finished i'll post it on here.
I hadn't tried this site on my HD until now, but it actually formats fantastically on the HD (on Opera, both vertical and horizontal):
http://www.tvcatchup.com/guide.html
If you sign up, you can then watch the channels, but as it's flash its only watchable on the PC, unwatchable on the HD
