HQ videos

Hi
Is there a way to keep YouTube videos (or any other videos for that matter) playing in high quality, rather than having to click the left key -> More -> Watch in high quality every single time?
Cheers

you can find several apps that can download YouTube videos in the market
in the market type YouTube downloader and apps should appear
I tried a few and liked jetvd the best, however I use freedi YouTube downloader - its been discontinued but you can still download from the developers site an old version and install it.
I also saw that there's an app called freedi YouTube download helper but you need to have dolphin browser or login with YouTube account so I didn't bother with it
hope u got wat ur looking for

Just use Skyfire and go on the full YouTube site, it should automatically play them in HQ.

Any media service that supports the EVO for downloading Movies and TV shows?

Swarm (paid app in Market) or AndTorrent (search google because it's not in market).
Make sure you go to google.com and search for "name of file".apk (no quotes) and you'll find it.

Yea, im looking for media service, not illegal torrents
Wish Amazon would start supporting Android. Samsung is making an attempt with the Media Hub.

Recommended Apps?

I'm not too familiar with the Android OS. What are some recommended apps?

Depends on what you wanna do.
Music apps: Winamp, Spotify
Internet-related Apps: (irssi) ConnectBot, Firefox
Launcher: ADW, Go Launcher EX (launcher pro doesn't work)
If you tell me more about what you wanna do, I can answer more specifically

Honestly anything and everything.
BTW what's a good Video player app.

Cut the Rope, for one

The default video player in the hacked gingerbread roms worked the best for me, but doesn't work here yet.
Mobo player seems to be the preference, but I despise it and have yet to find anything else decent.
Whats so hard about sorting stuff alphabetically or by date? I have no idea wtf it is sorting as.
Then asked which folder has your videos, and you have to actually hit a refresh button for it to find new stuff. And then goes and shows you crap not even in that folder...

I use rockplayer. It was the first one I could find that would play xvid files. I haven't tried any others, but I don't have any complaints about it.

Rockplayer is good for videos. I sideloaded it on my KF.
ES File explorer (in Amazon market) will allow you to navigate the file structure (good for finding anything you download)
Hulu + (in Amazon market) if you have a hulu plus account.
Netflix (in Amazon market) if you have a netflix account.

Pulse is great for news.

Apps I use -
Grocery IQ (my girl and I can share a shopping list, her on a iphone and me on my droid charge and kindle fire), Google Reader (rss reader), Google Listen (podcast listener), Wordfued (so addicted to this scrabble knock-off), DropBox (for moving files to the 'cloud' and between devices and computers)

I have found the following to work great on my stock (un-Rooted) Kindle Fire.
- MX Video Player 1.4b (sideloaded), plays AVI, WMV, Etc. perfectly!
- Go Launcher EX (Amazon Store), Must Have!
- Battery monitor Widget 1.9.9 (sideloaded) - great for see power use
- File Manager (Amazon Store) -
- Express News
- Sense Analog Clock 3.2.3 (sideloaded)
Found many of the apps at androiddev.orkitra.com

Add to the list:
Dropbox
Titanbackup Pro
OTA RootKeeper
Root Explorer
Delete all contacts

I installed (among others):
Opera Mobile (a much faster browser alternative to the stock browser)
Audiogalaxy (allows me to stream my itunes collection to the Fire)
Gemini App Manager (quickly clears cache)
Wiki Encyclopedia
Youtube for Android
TuneIn Radio
Box.net
US Newspapers

Always look at the free app of the day, today was documents to go! I enjoy Cube Runner 3D (free), Netflix, and tubemate (have to sideload, they're not on either market currently) as it can download 1080p youtube videos straight to your device.

download youtube videos?

Is there a way I can download YouTube videos on this tab? Whether it be through a site or an app?

The answer is yes! There are many apps on Google store that can do this just put a search in

I've went to the market and typed in YouTube and tried to find something and typed in download YouTube and didn't find anything

yesssssss! snappzmarket
yes there are many but i believe they were taken off go to http://m.snappzmarket.com/ and download its an alternative app store where you can get paid apps for free...
then search tubemate on snappzmarket might have to update it though should be good
allows you to pick quality for downloading and viewing its a nice app
link for the .apk if you dont want snappzmarket http://m.tubemate.net/

+1 for TubeMate
Not the most appealing UI , but works good. Fair trade off. Lets you pick from different qualities. Lets you log into your YouTube account and access your Favorites and other account stuff.
The UI looks better on the a500 tablet it does on my G-Nexus phone though.
I use it all the time to quickly load my tablet or phone with music videos, then use iMediaShare to beam across to my PS3 and 360 for viewing or copying to console HDD (PS3 only).
If I only want to view/copy YouTube vids on the PS3, then I just use iMediaShare and skip the TubeMate - to - droid device step.

Does Fire HD 8 works outside USA?

I want to know whether Fire HD 8 will work out of USA or not. I have no idea about Fire OS and Amazon appstore. I just want to use it as a device to surf the internet via browser, to copy my movies from laptop and watch on it, and use apps like facebook, facebook messenger and youtube.
I am afraid if i tell someone from USA to bring it for me here in Nepal and if i wont be able to download these apps, it will be a waste. So kindly suggest me, if i can download apps like facebook, youtube and messenger for free outside USA?

Yes it does
I bought it in the USA and use it in Mexico. Best tablet for the price. I can get apps from the amazon appstore, they have a whole section of "actually free" apps. If you cant find an app in the amazon appstore, Google Chrome Browser for example, you can install the Google play store even without root. Fire OS is actually Android with a customized layer in top. The only things that don't work are the amazon services, like prime video, and prime music. Kindle unlimited book reading (paid subscription) does work.
