Hey everyone,
I was wondering if any of you knew of a program or way to watch tv shows on the vibrant. I'm wantin to watch season one and two of the tv series Castle
Any thoughts?
The easiest method would be to buy the DVDs and rip them using Handbrake.
Try TV.com from the apparently market and it's free

I thought tv.com only showed clips and you have to pay for the full show
No. TV.com is completely free, but thus the selection is limited. There are some decent CBS shows on it - I watched the pilot of the new Hawaii Five-0 on it.
Handbrake doesn't let you rip encrypted DVDs, so it's usless for you.
With as much TV as I watch while working, I got JetFlix. I went and dropped the $50 bucks for the year. Quality is alright... but I mostly listen to TV as I work. Old habit I picked up on when I worked from home.
It has tons of shows. It is always updating. and you can download them to watch when there is no wifi or 3g.
that's my 2 cents.
Wait for froyo then you can watch tv shows on hulu

Bitbop. its 9.99 a month but you get to watch an ass load of shows
Best investment I've ever made... SLINGBOX !!... it was 300 bucks for the Pro_HD but you get to watch everything you watch at home, Live, every channel, free... just need high speed internet at home.. very easy setup, and awesome quality and you can change channels and everything. It's like being at home !!
You have plenty of options but between justin.tv and atdhe.net I think you're all covered
I don't watch TV but I'm visiting family and saw a XOOM trailer.
Interrupted the family l conversation to say hey look it's my XOOM?!
Only my sister replied saying "what's your XOOM? "Lol.
Anyway, American Superbowl trailer was ace.
UK advert was rubbish, some Guy swiping the home screens, and showing Google maps 3d (which doesn't work in uk) in a robotic fashion.
Anyway, nice to see an advert finally, over here, needs a bit more effort though.

google maps 3d does work in UK in three cities I think?
Birmingham is one of them...
Woo, 3 cities
Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
I know this is probably ancient news for most people but I just found out I can watch all the movies I want on Amazon for free. You have to have a Amazon prime account though. Just as good as netflix I think.
No charge? In any ways?

No charge if you have Amazon prime accoun which is 79$ a year.
Cheaper than netflix.
What kind of movies does Amazon have?
$80 year and can watch as much as you want?
ETA: Ok I found it and looked. Pretty much the same stuff Netflix has.
Do you knowif it works with a rooted Xoom? Google rentals don't seem to work (drm issue?).
youd probably want tocheck out the movies they have. So far the ones I've seen are alot like what they have on Netflix. They have a lot. And the $80 also gets you 2 day shipping free and next day for $4 when you buy stuff . that's the best thing about prime because I'm always ordering things from Amazon and don't like waiting a week to get it. As far as rooted xooms it should work because its just streaming the movie. The video quality is pretty good I was watching a HD Yellowstone movie that looked awesome.
Netflix is cool though, like the original. I don't think its cool when big company's come in and because they have more sources to draw from and offer a catch like cheaper shipping. Netflix is trying too, scoring Mirimax recently.
Not that the deal on amazon is bad, its just a shame.

yeah I love Netflix. Have it on 4 devices works grate on my my Samsung vibrant. I just thought I'd let people know there is a way to watch movies on there xoom if there not going to make Netflix for xoom. Don't know ifits true but I read somewhere the the Netflix app is just for snapdragon devices. Hard telling when orif they'll make it for xoom. Like G voice.

Netflix single handedly killed blockbuster and every single other movie rental service.
AXN TV Channel is showing G Note advertisements incessantly.
Sammy wouldn't be spending that money unless initial sales figures and feedback were very positive.
Interesting...
I don't know about other Asian countries, but here in India, they are advertising like crazy. Multiple TV channels, News Papers, Magazines. You name it. A few weeks after launch, they gave a full page ad in the news papers.
Also in Romania, a lot of TV commercials.
There's been **** all in the way of advertising in the UK!

... and nothing here in the United States...
The very moment stock arrive, expect it to be sold out within hours. That's how crazy it is in Singapore.
I am in Hong Kong, at local tv channel doesnt have any tv commerical screening buy galaxy note is selling quite well here,
Its quite common to see a note on the street, even many chicks using it .
I also waited a week when I ordered mine,
The salesman told me note is quite a hit now, been out of stock few times already.

Crazy. Nuts. Gaga.
I noticed a couple of road-side billboards and a TV ad, nothing unusual for a new flagship product here.
Here in India,the owner of the shop from where I got my Note,daily sells atleast 2-3 Galaxy Notes..
Consider this its from a single shop and that too for a high end device,u can easily estimate that the Note is selling like hot cakes.
“Phone? Tablet? Feel Free, It’s Galaxy Note”
In france, this is the same advert the christmas day on TV and in Theater !

The SGSII retains the flagship crown seemingly.

It's out of stock at places. And the store keepers who usually offers some discount don't even talk of it when it comes to the note. It's like take it or leave it.
Selling pretty well here in Malaysia, and the salesperson told me that many also changes the color after a few days (from white to black or black to white).
Also, in the only satellite tv here, Note's ad is showing up like crazy...and I notice these few days SGSII ad also being aired..
It's always out of stock in the telco shops for Singapore. Got mine after waiting for a while!
Hi Guys
I'm new to XDA but have been a long time visitor, I have pre ordered a 16gb Nexus 7 and cant wait but I had a Question
As stated at I/O the Nexus 7 comes with several extras such as $25 credit (£15 in my case) and a copy of Transformers the Movie, so i was wondering if we are to receive the copy of the movie, what are the chances of Google activating Movies & TV and purchases in the UK?
I know i can download movies using alternative methods but it would be great if it was possible to use Google Play Movies & TV
Thanks
The UK can access movies through the play store already, just not TV shows

Thanks i can see that but i would like to know about purchases as we can only rent as of now in the UK
Oh, i see. Sorry
i wouldn't expect anything anytime soon, especially seeing how we haven't even got google music in the uk yet.
for whatever reason media companies seem reluctant to allow decent movie/tv over the internet. all the offerings from lovefilm, netflix, film4 and the like are pretty disappointing.

couldnt agree more about the lack of decent tv/movies
I have got google music on my htc one s.... although i cant download music i have managed to add my own collection to it :victory:
i don't understand the attitude of the film companies. it's almost impossible to get decent content online, and then they wonder why people download stuff illegally.
mate of mine wanted to watch a film, but there's no rental store near him and he didn't want to wait 2-3 days to get a postal rental. so he got it off torrent and the film studios lost a few quid. their loss not his.
at least we've got spotify in the uk for music - and if you can afford a cheap NAS it's a great way to get at your music on the go.
