Just curious. We were out and my husband wanted to watch football. I search on my phone and google but could not figure out a way to watch on my phone.
Is there an app out there that will allow you to watch live football?
There is the MobiTV app. I think you can watch Live TV on that. But it isn't free of course.
I think mobi has a monthly fee. I don't mind paying a one time app fee. Is there something else out there?
MobiTV is 9.99 per month...but over WiFi or 3G its actually quite good..and yes, it offers live TV. So while 9.99 a month is kinda alot, its actually a worthwhile service as long as you have a good network connection.
if you have directv and sunday ticket you can watch all of the games live on your mobile device running android.
Buttt...the HD2 is not natively an Android device...so that doesnt really help in the least.
MobiTV does not air live NFL football games.
The best option to watch games you would normally watch at home. Is to get yourself Orb Caster which is free and a compatible TV Tuner card. (Don't get a USB based tuner.) Setup Windows Media Center to work with your TV service and if that works out, then setup Orb and it should work fine.
Any reason you recommend against a usb based tuner?

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...

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?

Anyone aware of an android app which can stream music to an airport express?
I've done a search and found this project which is exactly what I'm looking for. However the project appears to be idle, or in the early stages.
Know of anything similar?
(bump)
anyone?
Am also looking for this!!
I'm also looking for this!

..
I am also looking for this. There is a program called Airfoil which enables you to stream any audio from a computer through airport express. I was hoping someone had adapted it for android. Haven't found anything yet =(
BTW I'm using EVO 4G on froyo
I also found this for running music to airport from a linux machine. I'm not a developer and don't have a clue how to do it myself but I thought it might be useful.
http://lifehacker.com/5623684/stream-audio-to-your-airport-express-speakers-in-linux
Any progress, anyone? I would pay for this.
I would pay for this too and so many people dream about such an app, I don't understand why it does not already exist. I use my airport express with airtunes every day. It's so convenient.
Try this:
hyperfine.com/remoteforitunes/default.aspx
Bill171 thanks for the try but that application only allows you to control itunes on a pc. I am actually trying to learn android programming just to try and get this. If anyone has a idea where to start or some source code from the pc software it would probably help.
recently found something called Twonky Server which is able to stream to devices that are UPnP or DLNA enabled, such as an xbox. Still trying to figure it out, but so far, performance is intermittent and it appears to be pulling music from the phone rather than the phone pushing music to the xbox (ie your phone becomes a server only, not a remote+server). If anyone tries this and finds another way to use it please let me know.
Also 2Player may hold some promise. Haven't got that one to work yet.
any success on getting an android app to enable remote control to an airport express?

There are currently two Android apps able to do that, both available in the Android Market. TunesRemote is free, Remote for iTunes is US$4.99. While free, TunesRemote seems a little flaky to me, while Remote for iTunes is a little more reliable.
well, these two apps are cool, but not yet what (i think) we're looking for here. Remote for iTunes lets U remote control the iTunes app on your desktop, while TunesRemote lets you remote control an iPad or iPod ...
What we want is an android app sending music to an airport with no iProduct at all, no iTunes, no iPad, no iPod ... exactly as Airfoil does on a PC.
My interest in such a product is to listen to Deezer (or youtube, or any app with sound, why not a movie ?) on my android phone, and send the music to my stereo via wi-fi.
I'm also looking for this functionality.
I would definitely pay for an app that allowed me to play my subsonic from my phone/tablet to my airport.
Finally
Hey guys theres finally a software that will do it. It will even do pictures and video if its to a 2nd gen apple tv.
Its called Twonky, and its free in the market.
hi folks, there is a app called Honey Player, which will be launched today. this app is able to stream music directly to any Apple AirPort Express or AppleTV.
honey-player.com
Android to airport express
Hey,
there is an app available since yesterday called Honey Player, which exactly supports these services. You may try it out! Finally, someone serves our need
Are there any apps that let you stream Last.FM without having to pay for a subscription? I realize that lastfm stopped supporting Win Mobile, for reasons I dont know, but Id think someone wouldve found a work around. Pocketscrabbler works but you must be a paid subscriber.
+1 on this, I've been looking for the same thing as there seems to be nice clients out for Android and iPhone.
is this the same last.fm I am using on XBOX, if so its still free. I can (u might can to) use skyfire and goto last.fm webpage login and listen that way. If that helps
Like abc, nbc, fox news etc. I remeber seeing an app for wm called manilla tv that allowed you to and a few other apps that you were able to for wm. I have tried spb tv and its not very good maybe one channel that is worth watching but is it even possible?
Some people have gotten the orb application to work, its in the market. I have not tried it
I will try it. Just have to wait a few days and buy a tv tuner off ebay
