Android TV on the HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So my buddy has the Evo and was showing me this Android TV app that uses Hulu to capture DVR-like TV episodes. I can't find it on the Market, is this a Sprint thing only? Can we use this app?

whats wrong with androids version of the youtube app ?
Some of the early android hd2 builds had an issue with a green line at the top of a video. This problem has been solved and the youtube player works brilliantly.
in the winmo youtube player, i like the history-function, which i don't have in the android one.

I would love to have the winmo youtube app. Honestly, the android app is not that good in comparison to it.

App or website to watch streaming tv/sports

Currently on my pc I use atdhe.net to watch sports and tv shows. Only bad thing is I can't install the video players for the evo. Anyone know of a good site to watch live streams or how to put the video players on the evo?

Search appbrain or the market for TV Flash.
Flash tv is awesome. Skyfire works as a good browser without.installing the media players

[Q] Netflix output to HDMI TV works?

Anyone tried this with good results?
My results:
I use the free "device check disabled" version of the Netflix app, and it operates great on my stock unrooted DroidX. Watched entire movies over 3G with no problems. Works over WiFi too.
Got myself a HDMI cable for the phone to TV (less than $4 incl. shipping, from Amazon)
I've tried using the free "Xternal Display for Droid X" app to send output to an external HDMI monitor.
Works for a couple of minutes, then quits.
I suspect the "Xternal Display" app is getting swapped out by the Android OS, and that kills the TV output.

There's an app in the market called realhdmi that works I haven't tested it on netflix yet but it works great with youtube videos

I purchased the hdmi app from the market. Afterwards Netflix started right up on my tv. No luck before that. It is somewhat of a pain to use. What you see on your tv is not what you see on your phone. Takes some time to get use to.
This makes the DroidX the smallest Netflix streaming device for a TV?

I've been using the same app and ut works it just randomly stops working alot and I have to reopen the xternal app. But you could try using the paid app realhdmi, I haven't had any issues with that

sorry, i think iphone 4 and ipod touch 4g are smaller, and officially support tv-out with component, vga, and hdmi (with proper cables/dongles). i wish my droid x officially supported hdmi out for anything useful.

I'm hearing real hdmi doesn't work under Gingerbread yet. Can someone confirm?
Also, under Froyo, has anyone watched an *entire* Netflix movie using real hdmi without any problems?

Realhdmi works on gingerbread as of a few weeks ago.

Real HDMI will do the job, but because netflix is a mobile app, the picture quality is passable when it is highest, but not watchable if your connection slows and the video quality drops.

Silverlight

Is there any way to play web page video that use ms silverlight. This is to watch stuff on the sky web page.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Afraid not
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I am interested about that too... is it really not possible?
I don't think so, to watch live sky you would need silverlight on your phone to watch over the internet or a sky tv app for Android like the iPhone one.

It could be on the horizon. After a little digging around, it would seem that there is a plug-in in development by Moonlight which will allow Android users to watch MS Silverlight content on their devices.

XDA TV App Tablet version - works fine on DHD

Just thought I would share this here for any XDA TV fans.
It's an unofficial XDA TV app to watch XDA TV videos on the go. The app was created for Tablets, but seems to work fine on my DHD
