This would be awesome and answer lots of questions...

seems so expensive though... 300 bucks

Yea it is, I have the older non HD version which you can probably find on ebay for $150. I didnt buy it with the intention of using it on my phone, that was an added bonus. I travel alot and am a huge jets fan. with the slingbox i could watch the games where ever i was, and the only other option was NFL sunday ticket from direct TV - which i think is like $299 so it made sense getting one

makes sense I guess. The HD one really provides a good HDstream? I was wondering if you could record shows with that thing as well?

I dont know too much about the HD one, the regular one works just fine for me - i have a 47 inch 1080p HD tv that i hook it up too from my computer when im not home - gratned the quality itsnt the best but its more then watchable (expecially for streaming media blown up that big) . . . upsteam connections from my house are around 800k, and it uses all that is available which is stable for the most part.
I think i saw somewhere on the website something about a Hard drive and DVR functionality.

looks like there is some 3rd party software that lets you record from it.

Yea I agree skyfire is nice try but not really a feasible thing... especially probably not for VGA devices... Damn ADOBE GET WITH IT...

If Playon transcodes the stream based on pipe size or media renderer, you could easily get uPNP working by setting up a VPN. I haven't heard of many other media servers that will do netflix (at least not stable).

Netflix streaming app?

Anyone out there streaming Netflix movies on your HD2? If so, how?
I would love to know this too... +1
If i knew how to even look at going about doing this i would learn and develop it. This would be a killer app!!! especially on our yummy 4.3 inches of pure awesomeness
There has got to be a way.. if we can watch previews, and adjust our Qs.. there has to be a way to steeem the movies to our phones.
Any dev want take this and run with it?
You'd need a mobile Silverlight player in a shell that tricks Netflix into thinking you're on an approved browser.
that would be sooo sick... i was so upset at the partnership t-mobile or htc made with blockbuster... i mean that's a dying company on the verge of bankruptcy... why??!! Netflix would've been the best choice... and it would've rocked my socks off
this would be the best app ever.
maybe just a hulu player that allows full selection.
I know they have netflix app for WP7
6.5 is not going to be getting silverlight
i wish someone would some how come out with app that lets u stream netflix.then it'll b fun to carry around a 4.3 inch screen phone.hehe

Maybe not. I'm running Firefox on my Win7 machine and to the best of my recollection, I haven't upgraded to SilverBlight despite the frequent nags. So there's gotta be a way, no?
HD2 and Netflix
My HD2 was rocking the netflix better than my wii and xbox the listings where fab but sadly after not checking for a few days i went to log onto my NF and watch some movies as i was sitting at the DR office to find...... there is a new version and you must upgrade...... then upgrade not found retry or exit
@ DraksFangs Do you have Netflix running on android or windows 6.5???
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Must be Android. There is no working Netflix for Winmo. I had Neflix on my HD2 through Android too, and yes, since two weeks ago it keeps telling me new version, must upgrade and then, not found.
WinMo, no. But WP7 has it. I had it runing on my WP7 HD2, but I came back to Android and found out my Netflix app no longer works. Boooo

LIVE Digital TV

Where is the best app for Live Digital TV on the HD2?
If you're in the UK, MyPlayer (really fantastic app) lets you view bbc channels live (and download / stream iplayer content). It's got quite a few other channels built in.
Digital TV
There must be something that give more than a few live tv channels than this surely?
are you in the UK?
try tvcatchup.com with the skyfire browser, there's about 40 channels on the full site... watchable but not great..
if you pay for the myplayer upgrade there's around 18 channels and they play in really good quality...it runs about a minute behind "live" tv
tvcatchup.com was great on the iphone and thats what I was trying to find on here... but no joy... shame
myplayer's got as many channels as the iphone version of TVCatchup and it works great on the HD2.
I was after tvcatchup on winmo but honestly this works better than I could have hoped for

Have to agree with skilty on this one: myPlayer has pretty much all of the tvc channels and the quality is much better than the iPhone version.
If you don't mind taking few coins out of your pocket, try Online TVx: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676846. I tryed the demo and it looks like a must when it's about tv on Leo (lots of chanels) + if you purchase it via Xda you'll have a nice discount (50%!)

Thanks

[APP] Live T.V. Subscription 1TVPC.COM 3000 CH.

Stumbled across this when streaming free TV app. They have a great deal of content, live channel, movies on demand and HBO, HBO needs a Window Plug-In though. The Other players work and are built in, some optimized for Adobe 10.1, the others, not so good. Overall, I think 24.99 subscription for first 6 months is very reasonable for what is available. You can watch on multiple computers as long as you want. Streaming live TNT works really well on Nexus in stock browser. Also player allows you to go full screen. After first 6 months it goes back to regular price of 35 or 36 something like that. But if you don't like you can always cancel. They also have great support, from what I have read. Right now I'm streaming HBO from my PC and simultaneously TNT from my phone logged in at both places. So if you want live TV on your phone at an affordable price,with a wide variety of content, this is an option. It's user friendly with search bar, and built in players. Here is the Link: http://www.1tvpc.com/

Must be a full moon or something. This is the app theme section right, No spam here. It's not actually an app but , I thought others might be interested in the option. It streams through the browser live shows that are on TV. Is that better for you?
how legit is this ive been lookin for away to save cash and i can hook my laptop to my 55 inch tv

I'm not trying to convince anyone to get this. I have it now and using it on three different computers, 2 laptops and the Nexus. Just have a look around and see. It's not something you hook up to your TV like Sling Box. Basically it uses the function of Adobe 10.1 and brings a variety of TV and live TV content to our phones and computers. You could probably find these place on your own each site and bookmark them, but i don't want to deal with that hassle. I tried looking for a few places by Googling them, and a lot of times I came up empty or it was just video, not live streams.

Not to be a forum nazi or anything but if its not a Theme and if its not a app then perhaps its better off in the General Section?

In my opinion. It is worth it. Here's what I know works straight from the phone , tried and tested. FX Channel, USA Network, TNT, TBS, MSNBC, CNN, HISTORY CHANNEL, ESPN, FOOD NETWORK, LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK AND DISCOVERY CHANNEL. All of these channel work very well on the Nexus one right off the browser. So, hell yes, it is worth it. and you can use it on multiple computers. I already feel my money was well spent. And those are the immediate channels that I tested. Very good quality. Plus the built in player allows you to go full screen.
To the person who said something about not being a Nazi. This is really an app or software that works directly with Adobe 10.1 Flash. If you don't have that app, it wont work. So, really this is only an option available to those who have FROYO. It is an outside app, software that works through the browser as a subscription, that streams live TV using Adobe app Flash 10.1. the player is exclusive to them, BoxLIVE TV streamer and that is also part of the package that is being payed for. Without it it wont work on the phone.
The only channel that doesn't work on the phone is HBO. It does however work on the computer lap top with Windows Media player 11 plug in.

24.99 is for the first 6 months. Then 34.99 for every 6 months after. Jetflicks TV in the market is 29.99 for 6 months and doesn't offer any live channels, but has a wide variety to choose from.(shows). Sling box is connected to your cable TV. Which means you must have the Sling Box and cable tv + the app in order for it to work. Approximately 200 for box and and app on the market and the price of your cable every month. 1tvpc you don't need cable at all. All premium channels work on the Nexus except HBO. FX, USA,TNT TBS SPIKE TRUTV DISCOVERY CHANNEL CNN MSNBC HISTORY CHANNEL ESPN ESPN 2 LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK ABC CBS NBC all these live channels work on Nexus. Plus there is no interruption like Mobi TV asking if your still watching. I fell asleep watching TNT in the morning when I awoke it was still on, streaming on Nexus. You can also create favorites so all you channels are easy to navigate within one location.

[Q] Any way to access BBC iPlayer's iPad streams?

MyPlayer on the Android market allows downloading of the HQ video streams used by iPhone and iPod Touch through the Safari browser, however on hi res, big screened devices like the Galaxy Tab these downloads look pretty crappy. You can also download a DRM encrypted file from the BBC iPlayer Mobile site but this is also pretty rubbish.
I know that the iPad stream is fantastic quality and just wondered if anyone knew if it is possible to access this stream, or if any developers are working on a means of doing so.
It seems a shame that online videos seem tailored to the iPad but not Android tablets: even Android's own YouTube app doesn't have streams in the same high resolution as the one built into iPad.

It's early days yet. I'm an android developer by profession and am focusing on the Galaxy Tab as a primary target alongside the iPad for our applications. In my spare time it's possible I'll write some exclusively for the tab.
Is it possible then? Or is the iPad stream encrypted?
I look forward to development for Galaxy Tab, I don't normally leap in and buy cutting-edge devices at full price, just hoping I haven't made a mistake with the Galaxy Tab.

I wouldn't think it's a waste. I was bought mine purely because we intent do develop for it, we're just one company but I'm sure there are others like ours.
As for the stream, I have never looked into the video stuff, I don't see why the right app couldn't just get the normal youtube HD vids down.
I find it extremely irritating that the BBC has decided that they only support Android via flash yet fruit themed devices get dedicated apps (and so do Blackberries as an aside!).

Dave

i want to share the love help me or learn a little bit

I just upgraded my rom to the new synergy r111 and i want to share the knowledge of the push of pix music and videos to the xbox as long as your on the same wifi network. Not sure if it matters with the DD-WRT on my router either but with the new additon of XBOX SMART GLASS, I am so impressed with the new xbox update and the new jellybean roms for the S3. If you learned or want to try something new please give me some help so i can thank the developers in the other forum. other than that your welcome to tell me how you knew about this along time ago and how i suck and am old. Happy weekend!
edit: i beleieve its the samsung part of the app that handles this but i cant stress how nice it is to not have to use your controller and push netflix or espn with smartglass from the front page of xbox dashboard or use the samsung push over wifi to watch movies or play music with your phone instantly. (if im vague its because im drunk*)
Yeah, you're vague.
What are you trying to say exactly? That the new Xbox app is cool? Because that's all I got....
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
That does sound like a neat trick to stream your phone's video playback to - or even control - an Xbox system, actually. We're all Wii here because it's most kid-friendly, but I'm impressed with what you have described.
I'm guessing it's not due to the custom firmware on your router that you mentioned, since Xbox SmartGlass is supposed to offer this function with most smartphones, correct? Or, have you seen elsewhere that some smartphones can't hookup to SmartGlass well?
