Finally - keeping the Sprint TV Widget installed has paid off. The ESPN channel will be broadcasting the World Cup games live. Guess who's going to be unproductive tomorrow at work??
lol

i am super excited to watch some matches but i dont have the extra channels on the tele.

I am running the DC 2.09.01 and the widget is working fine. I am watching the opening ceremony concert right now. This is great since I will be at work and all the live streaming on the internet is blocked at the office.
thanks kfunk!

It's halftime now... better get a little work done while I can
I sure do wish I had an Evo right about now. That soccer ball looks awefully small on the Hero screen.
Other than that, the sprint tv app is working great!
it does work quite well. i watched most of the game on a computer though. the quality of the stream is spotty and most of the time the ball is very hard to see regardless of the size of the screen. it was blurry on the hero and blurry on a 21" widescreen. still, way better than nothing!
good match btw. so glad sa didnt lose.
cheers and thanks again,
ryan
i used it as a radio since all i saw was a giant green blob.
The quality wasn't the greatest, but I was out doing a job yesterday and everyone there was trying to figure out how to watch the game. None of them had Sprint. I pulled it up on my phone and let them watch it for a couple of minutes and then took my phone back. I told them good luck being able to watch it from their phones.

it was pretty much as beautiful as i though it would be, my co worker is the advocate for our store. ill post pics later the packing is a little on the wierd side, but its eco friendly lol.
***pics posted taken from hero came***
***update2 just posted 2 new pics video coming when i upload it***
I don't know why the box is making headlines... its what's inside that matters. I love the box, new and eco-friendly.
Jealous that you got to play with it!

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

omg I hate you!
Wait for the op's pic.
sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Coverage reasons in my local area.
They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.
I'm going to play with it again today so hopefully more pics

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch
Ideas? Don't want to watch the USA match on blocky can't see **** stream that sprint puts out.

Rabit ears? Its on abc
numerous online options.
btw, not being able to use 4G to watch Sprint TV kinda sucks. assuming it would make a difference.
Get an OTA (over the air) tuner for your pc and stream it to your device for free using ORB.
Sports can look bad on $1000 televisions when paired with $100/mo TV service...what do you expect with a freakin' phone? haha.
atdhe.net serves me well from time to time. Or you can look into something like myp2pforum and use streamtorrent.

Seriously though, sucks for you! Next time i suggest you stop talking about your phone and concentrate on the girl
As mentioned, there is a Youtube fix in Rom Manager, and a YoutubeHD from the EVO running around. Good luck!

haha
Thanks guys.
Appreciate the work!
I like the app but I would love it if they could fix the audio sync. I'm using a verizon app on my evo and it streams live tv perfectly. Come on sprint, this is the only thing i'm slightly dissatisfied with.
What verizon app?
Their NFL Live app, It streams nfl network perfectly, then I try to watch a sprint channel and it bugs me now. lol
OK, where did you get the app and how did you get it to work on your evo?

I'd like to know this as well. I had the NFL app, but yesterday it started saying that I wasn't a Verizon user, and then closed itself.
They also need to make it able to full-screen on the EVO....
Sprint tv is pretty terrible, I don't even bother with it. Live tv and tv.com are both better but I don't watch them much either.

I actually found it .. took a little bit of digging but it works on my EVO.

1. Is the port of VZ's NFL Live a free app?
2. Sprint TV has always been a joke. I recall back when I had a Treo 700p...the audio and video quality is about as good as it is today on my EVO, and that Treo was released in '06, and wasn't Rev-A capable.
As you can tell by my screen name and my signature I'm a huge knopfler fan.
This is why, it's not the greatest quality but if you know and appreciate good music you will like it.

Thanks for the memories.
Glad you enjoyed.
One of the best concerts I saw was seeing them play the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ (11/80). Saw plenty of bands play there (1971-1984), and Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City... Funtimes...
Going down that Telegraph Road....

Nice to see others who enjoy this. I don't know anybody around me that does.
I wasn't around to see Dire straits play(born in 81), I really wished I was though. Seeing Knopfler play is my ultimate fantasy.
Awesome band. One of my first cassettes in my generic Walkman! HAHA

This one has to be one of my favorite live performances. Starts out playing a acoustic electric Gibson Chet Atkins. At 4 minutes in he switches to his Schecter dream machine.
Wished I could have been there to see it.

Yeah I understand. Been going to concerts since the early 70's so I got to see some of the greats perform live. Hey you never know, they may reform or at least do a benefit concert/tour. Then again I'm a big Pink Floyd & Rush fan.

2010 was supposibly his last tour year. He has been having back trouble and I don't think he is coming back this year. If for some reason he does though you can rest assured I'm gonna find a way to meet him.
I like music, and to me the old music was just that.
