Is there any application-software that can work as the tittle says? And if yes can this appl work for aerial UHF channels? Basically to work as a tv tuner?
Thanks in advance
wont work with UHF chanels (as there is no tuner) but have a look for a program called "Diamond TV" think version 2 is around somewhere. streams from the internet.
did u try searching?
@Dreamup. Here's some additional info regarding Diamond TV
Diamond TV is crippleware. It has a nag screen and some functions are disabled until you fork over the 15 euros. Also I found that a lot of streams don't work very well with the default media player. They supposedly work better with something like Coreplayer which is not free either.
there is a free version of CorePlayer i believe.
Thank you for your answers guys
I got a slingbox, bit pricey but it's a nice bit of kit. Now I can watch all my sky+ box and other stuff too on my phone or on my laptop anywhere I can connect to a half decent network. And just to totally rip me off after spending £130 on the thing I found that only the PC software is free, the mobile software has to bought!!
Maybe spb online is the thig You are looking for. There ist a trial version on the website og spb softwarehouse.
trialled SPB Online, great program but the channels are rubbish. Waiting for SPB to upgrade the channels like they promise, then will buy that. The others programs mentioned are the same, generally speaking channel listings are rubbish, and the other interfaces have nothing compared to SPB online.
Hi All,
What do people think is the best application to watch video and listen to music on the HD2?
Also has anybody put togeter a list of the top 10 must have apps for the HD2?
Cheers,
P
I'm afraid I don't know, but I desperately want to, and I'd prefer this list to be the Top 100 Apps.
I mean, Leo has unbelievable specs for such a little unit, but I feel like what's the point if there are hardly any apps to take advantage of it?
I'm very much hoping that WinMo 7 will be a success, HTC will stay true to its rumours and give us an update, and developers will get interested in WinMo on the same scale as the iPhone.
you will probably get a better response in the software section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=535
The core pocket media player is in my opinion the best video player available to date.
I don't remember as to how well it worked on the hd2 though.
My phone is off to be repaired so I wouldn't be able to try till I get it back.
Here is the link to the site:
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
dont have a list but here are some applications i really like and use
fpsece (playstation 1 emulator)
nav4all (free satnav, because i dont use satnav much and im too tight to pay for nav 4 all)
the flashlight application (cant remember the real name but uses your flash as a torch)
[email protected] CM internet router (came from this forum... allows you to use your phone as a wireless router... This feature is removed in o2 roms so the application is well needed)
I noticed that there was an iphone app for browsing the freeview tv schedule in the UK. Has anyone found something similar for windows mobile devices? Or do you know of any program that has the ability to download weekly updates for tv viewing? It would be nice to have an app for this.
In a totally separate question, has anyone found any Mpeg-4 usb tv sticks that can receive the new Freeview HD signals yet? I've used an mpeg-2 stick for a while and synced programs to my blackstone before, but would like to upgrade to a new HD stick. I've written to a few main players in this market, ie. Hauppuage, and they say that they won't have a product out until just before the world cup.
As an alternative perhaps someone knows of an RSS feed for the guide info?
There is one called On TV v1.31 uk, but you can't store the listings,I'm looking for one like that.

Yeah thx but tried that one, and as you say not being able to store them isn't very useful.

The pics aren't loading on that msmobiles site for me, and I can't see that working on the HD.
And I've already scoured google to a depth of 20 pages or so with little success.
I've started attempting to write a little program to do the things I wanted with it. As I suck at programming it's going to take a while, but if I ever get it finished i'll post it on here.
I hadn't tried this site on my HD until now, but it actually formats fantastically on the HD (on Opera, both vertical and horizontal):
http://www.tvcatchup.com/guide.html
If you sign up, you can then watch the channels, but as it's flash its only watchable on the PC, unwatchable on the HD
I have a question, and possibly a challenge to you programmers out there. Is there any program for windows media center where i can browse the TV guide from far away not LAN and select things to record?
there is a program called "phone my PC" that lets me remotely connect to my PC from anywhere with cellular service or WiFi connection. However all the WMC remotes i have seen use LAN. Also, all seem to require me to be in front of the screen.
If none exist, im sure there are many people who would love a polished remote control app that would let you
1 browse the guide and set programs to record from work.
2 browse through recorded programs on your phone WITH thumbnails while your
already watching a program
3 has all the other functionality that the "myremote" already has
4 please make it work on vista
Any other ideas?

You could try remote potato. There was a guy who started making an android version but I think he gave up.

looks like a really cool program.. it seems to use a web browser from another pc to control a home pc..
if he didnt give up as u say he may have, all he would need to add is the remote control features in "myremote" and blend it in with the rest of the features for the perfect all in one app..
with a lot of polish, and im talking the kind of polish put into the android OS itself. i would be willing to pay some nice coin for such an app.
Big screen global has a remote guide via mobile browser, they currently have a windows 7 app, might make an android one also. works well for me

I have Windows 8 Enterprise, yes,a legal copy from where I work. It does not come with Media Center, NOR can you use the method to "Add features" as it does not work on the Enterprise version. I have searched this to death. I have a valid Windows Media Center key from Microsoft but, there is no place to enter it.
Has anyone found a work-around to get Media Center working on Windows 8 Enterprise ?
I would of posted this in the Q&A area but there is no Q&A for windows 8 and this is more of a hack than a supported method.
This actually belongs in Windows 8 General, not here.
Nevertheless, I will answer this for you... Did you visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs? I assume you did since you say you have a Serial Key, correct?
When you actually get that email, press Windows-W (Settings) and type "add features" and click the "I already have a serial key". Paste in your key and press next/follow prompts and reboot your PC and now you have Media Center.
I love how this lseidman clown is on some "well, as a matter of fact" bullsh*t.
lseidman, if you took a few seconds to read the question instead of being a ****, you'd see DavidinCT mentioned that method does not work.
DavidinCT, I did a few Google searches using "windows 8 enterprise media center" and it would seem that the Enterprise version does not have WMC.

Right...seeing if anyone found a work-round for it to be able to install it. I know it's officaly not supported but, wondering if there is a "hack" to get it installed.
If it installs on pro, there must be a way to get it to work on Enterprise....
It would stink to have to install and pay for another version just because I want an app, i already have rights to. See my point ?

I understand that his method it wasn't successful but on SOME Enterprise TechNet Key's it HAS worked. You can "Google" that. Also, since you both use Google, you'd notice Microsoft never claimed WMC would work on Enterprise. If you're Norweigan, it'll work on Enterprise (without TechNet Enterprise Key) or so claims of that being true.
In the mean time, I would use http://www.team-mediaportal.com.
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions - It explains it very clear.
Last thing, since you're on Enterprise, have you tried Windows To Go (Windows "LIVE") to see if you can do it on the bootable?

Unfortunately as Microsoft has said from early summer, only select editions could obtain it/use it. I understand your issue and desire to run something you purchased. When you checking out did it not mention your system wouldn't be compatible?
I am just curious, how come you had to pay for it? I thought till January you are able to obtain WMC for free? Did the offer end early or they screwed everyone and forgot to mention it?

Let's be clear, I have -0- interest in Media Portal, I was a Windows Media Center MVP for 2 years and I have a cablecard tuner in my desktop computer. Windows Media Center is my only option and I am very happy with the feature set I get from it.
I made this thread in "Windows 8 Development and Hacking" for a reason, to see if someone found a way or a HACK to get it installed in this version of Windows 8. I'm sure it's possable but, how ?
It actually says in the documentation that Windows Media Center will not work on Volume License editions.
I'm going to try the retail Pro from MSDN.
I'm interested in this too. I depend on WMC while I'm also interested in using DirectAccess to a domain I have setup on a couple servers in a datacenter. DirectAccess is a enterprise only feature. This version bs really irks me with 8. 7 ultimate gave you everything no limitations. 8 there is no version that doesn't have some limitation.

you are right; doesn't support on Windows 8 Enterprise for now--key word "Enterprise"---works on Pro excellent....

Just to clear this up you can't add media center to ANY Volume License version of Windows 8. I installed Windows 8 Pro thinking I was all set just to find out that Pro VL has the same limitations that Enterprise does.
No where was it stated by MS that Pro VL wouldn't be able to "add features".
As of now I'm stuck with a crippled version of 8 Pro. It's like Windows 8 Pro "lite" or something.
**edit**
I've found that if you have a retail copy of Windows 8 Pro that your VL MAK key will activate it and then let you add media center to it with no issues.
However if you have already upgraded to Windows 8 Pro VL I can't find any way to install Windows 8 Pro Retail over the top of it while retaining all of your files and settings. I'd love to find a way to do an in place upgrade but I can't figure out a way to do this.
Could someone post a few screen shots of the new Windows Media Center? Just to see what I'm missing out on being a Windows 8 Enterprise user!

Ive not seen any differences at all from Win7 MC, id put money on it being identical at least to the eye
Ah, that's okay then! The Windows Media Center for XP/7 isn't really necessary for Windows 8 (except for the DVD playback and TV privileges) because of the built in Music and Video apps. Glad to know!
Thanks @dazza9075 & @phailyoor!

Media center does a great job of streaming all kinds of video to my xbox. As of now I can't stream anything with the exception of avi's.

If you're interested in just streaming to your XBOX, have you tried Zune as an alternative? It works great on Windows 8

codec limitation. Install codec pack shark 007 for windows 8 and x64 component. Then run as admin both config program, used the recommend settings. Then, WMP will be able to read anything and will be the default for nearly all video type. Be sure to activate the stream capacity of wmp and enjoy on your xbox.
Although I'm actively trying to get my hand on a retail copy of W8 not vl to check how the install is done and try to see if I can port it to a vl version.
