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

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?

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

Don't think so at present; Sky have said there'll be an Android version of the Sky Go app available "in the coming months", so I guess we're stuck waiting to catch up with the iPhone crowd again.

Do they not relies how much potential an android app would give them.

I know, especially given how many people are asking them for it everywhere. I read rumours on a forum somewhere that the delay was because they weren't happy with the security of streaming video on Android. Not sure if there's any truth to that, especially as Netflix et al seem to be managing it.
They've said it would be this year sometime, so hopefully we get it sooner rather than later. Then we can all move on to complaining about how ridiculous the 2-device limitation is.
I wouldn't hold my breath. I've just received an email promoting Sky Go and it stated that selected Android phone support would be available in the Winter!
I'm so, so disappointed.

Sky said that the reason they released it for iPhone & iPad and not for Android, is because they find it a lot more difficult to develop an app for Android.
Sky Go on mobile is only available with Sky Sports channels, I wouldn't be surprises if the Android app wasn't released until after this football season

The reason for the SKy Go app taking so long on android, is the amount of different platforms this will be running on. Remember Android covers all devices not just HTC plus quite a few new tablets. Im sure it will come to us quick enough
Like I said.

I have a slingbox solo, and use it with Virgin TV.
It's brilliant, mostly I use the Slingplayer android app with it - its constantly optimizing quality for your current bandwidth, and with even quite a poor 3g signal I can watch it.
I'm 99% sure you could use this with Sky/Sky+ etc
Get a Slingbox. Had one for years on Winmo and Android and its my #1 app. In fact I have 2 and 2 sky hd boxes so there are no arguments over the remote in my house

The sky go app is now available in the market....However it will only work with certain devices. See the market page for details.
Another possibility would be a receiver like a Dreambox for streaming.

Yeah, DHD is one of the supported devices but it doesn't run on ICS (I can confirm that) and apparently won't work if your device is rooted. I'll try some GB ROMs today to see what happens but I'm not too hopeful. As if Sky hadn't pissed people off enough by taking this long to release it.
Update after a few attempts:
ICS (Ascension) - app won't even open, force closes immediately.
GB cm7 (Absolution 3.7) - app loads, when trying to watch any channel displays a message "your device is not currently supported".
GB sense (ARHD 6.3.2) - app loads, only Sky News channel will stream, all other channels show loading bar staying at 0%.

Are you running a custom kernel? it looks like the SGII guys are having success with custom ROMs when they have a stock kernel.
I've been looking but I can't find a download link to a stock kernel.

Just about to try Runnydroid v5.0 and I'll have a look in the other forum too
For none Sky subscribers I have a EchoStar HDS-600RS Freesat recorder. It supports android and has a built in slingbox. So you can watch live or recorded TV on your phone tablet or laptop.
Its here and looks like they've got a DHD in the article below (I can't see the video at work)

Sadly, it seems anyone with a rooted phone can't use it at the moment
but the good news is RunnyDroid V5.0 is out there

I know of two, pocket BLU and BlueputDroid.
Search for them in the market.
I've only tried BlueputDroid. Works over bluetooth as a keyboard and mouse. You need to be rooted and have a compatible rom, they suggest Cyanogenmod.
pocket BLU works over WiFi network and can control playback with pop up keyboard i think.
Thank you! I will try
I wonder why Sony's hasn't come up with an app yet, they already have an app for their new TV's and BD-players...
Why release a free app that competes with your $30 remote?
Tvs and Bd players come with remotes anyway.
