http://hexus.net/business/news/internet/34577-sky-launch-internet-tv-service-brings-sky-go-android/
Does anyone think it will work on the Note even thought it is not listed as supported?

yeah that is good news and it's about time!
I noticed that sky atlantic is on the ios app now, and hopefully the android version will launch with all the channels mentioned in that article.
I'm sure someone will modify the apk to work with our notes once launched.

No movie rentals on Stock Xoom WiFi

Got the 3.1 update this morning and I've noticed that i dont have the movie rentals tab in the market or the new videos app. I checked to make sure the system actually upgraded and it definitely did. Widget resizing, browser tweaks, even the changes to the marketplace are now in effect, but no movie rental section.
Anyone else? What gives?
Support is supposed to be available in the near future as per the Motorola User forums: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/50036
Motorola XOOM users on Wi-Fi-only devices: Android 3.1 software update rolling out now in phases. Enhancements include full support for the final release of Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2, resizable widgets and more. Support for the new movie rentals service from Android Market will become available in the near future. Additional release notes available here from Google.

Not to be rude, but there are plenty of posts for this specific topic in this forum. Probably on page 2.

The FB phone hype ends

“It gave it (Facebook) this soul… We don’t want to build a phone or operating system that some people will use,” he says. “Even if we did build a really good phone we’d only serve 1% of our community… We’re not building a phone. We’re not building an operating system.”
Android is very open, Zuck says, so you can make many changes to it. “You don’t need to fork Android to do this… Today we’re going to talk about the Home Screen of your phone.”

AllCast App

Saw this at Engadget, bought the premium version for my N5. Download the free trial version and verify it works with your devices, and then buy the premium license for $4.99 (there are time limits for streaming with the trial version). It streams movies and pics from your phone / tablet to your TV using one of the following devices:
* Roku
* Apple TV
* Xbox 360, Xbox One
* Samsung Smart TVs
* Panasonic Smart TVs
* Google TV (Logitech Revue, etc)
* DLNA Renderers
Reportedly it will support music soon, and Chromecast support is also reportedly coming.
I used it over my Roku and it works well, streamed Dredd with no problems. Cool little app.

Not trying to complain, but this is a bit pricey for a beta app. Can't get it to stream movies on the free version. Who knows how long it will be supported also.
Like I said, try the free version on your devices before buying. It worked on mine. I think you're limited to like 60 seconds of video with the free version (just enough to see if it works, I guess).
I have Rokus all over the house, so this works great for me.
Oops, doubletap...
Huh didn't know about this, great find too bad no support for ps3 =[

Yeah, it came out of beta today: https://plus.google.com/110558071969009568835/posts/XDZLpU8uYt4
Although, I saw the point of the app when you "Shared to..." from other apps when it was in beta but now it's just all one inclusive app. It makes me confused considering I don't really keep movies or tv shows on my phone and if I ever share pictures/video it's not typically in a living room setting.
i use Twonky Beam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pv.twonkybeam to stream music and videos from my device to my so's LG tv since 'on device' media cannot be streamed natively. Works great so far
lot of updates recently?
I received 3 alone yesterday, one today also dated back for yesterday. (also several over the last week)
Changing version numbers, but no changelog or other version history in the PlayStore.
I am pretty sure I could watch a video longer than 60 seconds on my Xbox when I last tried and PS3 didn't work. Has that changed? Can't try it out because I'm at my mother's house for the holidays.
PS
merry xmas!
When (if) it gets chromecast support I'll get it. Then I can actually use the thing.

Hmm... It doesn't seem to work with the Apple TV (3rd gen) for me. It just keeps spinning away.
Beta worked ok for me but I couldn't stream online services like Youtube, If your gonna drop some dollars on such an app I would also consider Streambels The 7 day free demo worked very good for me. Only downside opposed to AllCast is that you need to start the app first.
updated today to work with the chromecast
Cant get AllCast to work the last 6 months
No movie passes 5-15min with LG g3 d855. And I have the exakt the same problem with with Moto G4 plus, it disconnects my Hitachi 50hzt66 tv, I've payed for this app and if you cant get it to work, I want a reufund! Love your others apps so its just this one I cant get to work. All others apps and nougats 6.01 own cast works flawless.
Please solve this, because Ihave two more friends with the same problem. Best reegards Pierre Hellner Gothenburg Sweden

[Q] How can I get Nexus player APKs for the emulator?

I'm interested in developing an app for the google TV platform. I would like to try some native apps to see how the design and UX have changed, but sadly the Nexus Player is not available in my country yet and I'm still waiting for google to send me the ADT-1
I can use the AVD manager in Android Studio to emulate a Google TV, but I don't know how I could get access to the android TV optimized apps to install them on my emulator. Does anyone have an idea? I am particularly interested in trying the youtube app, can someone with a Nexus Player pull it from the device and send it to me please?
I know this is a lot to ask for my first post, but I promise I'll contribute back to the forum
We just received the two ADT-1 units from google! That really was fast! We ask for them less than a week ago. They came with american power plug, so we can't use them right now, but tomorrow we'll get some power adapters. I guess I'm gonna be able to get the apps myself now

What sort of apps are you planning on developing?
I'm afraid I can't tell you much about that right now. I work for a very small startup and we are about to sign a contract with a TV manufacturer that's going to use Android TV for their new TV models next year. The deal is not even signed yet, but I was eager to start testing Android TV on the emulator.
Cool, good luck!
Good luck buddy

Anyone know if CBS app for Nexus Player will have the Superbowl live?

I'm having a hard time confirming if it will, some sites say tablets only. I installed it from my browser as it appears the app is officially supported. I'm guessing there will be some Kodi options if not.
I doubt it will. It didn't have the option to stream during playoffs either.
Well, the latest update (feb 4th) seems to mention live streaming of superbowl and on cbs superbowl website they do mention AndroidTV as one of the devices for streaming the game live. I guess we'll see. I don't have any links in the app for live streaming - not sure if it will just appear or how it will work.
It will be live from the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick and is advertised heavily there with the CBS Sports app.
Yes, I know that the Amazon devices are not Google TV, but they do run customized Android and not tablets or phones, so they show promise for the Super Bowl to play live on the Nexus Player, although I am concerned that there are no ads promoting it.
There is absolutely no mention of superbowl inside the nexus player app. No link. Just the regular nfl and other sports video clips. I'm hoping it somehow incorporates a link at the time of the kickoff... but I have doubts.
I mean they do specifically mention AndroidTV on CBS's website... but there is no indication of it from inside the app itself.
The pregame show is live on the app! Yeeei So there's hope for the game as well. The link appeared at 2 pm ET inside the app.
