Made available today after a year or so of development by the great team of developers at XBMC the official remote is now available for download. They did a GREAT job and the remote works flawlessly on my EVO. Just wanted to let everyone know or at least the XBMC users out there!
Official Post at the xbmc website as well as forums.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been using betas for a while and it's nice to have it auto-update now.
ya its pretty cool, if you get a text you can set it to show the txt msg on the tv screen...and it pauses when you get a call and shows caller id on the tv also...
it rocks man.
all via wifi or 3g/4g

looks badass, though I can't get it to connect to my XBMC, i'll try again later.
-edit-
It's too laggy, even over LAN for me(also 'play/pause' doesn't work). I also lots of timeouts with 3g and wifi/lan connections

Really? Interesting. I had issues getting the remote to work too, if you goto the forums for xbmc in the faq is tells you how to get it working, I followed the steps come to find out I changed the event port on accident from 9777 oops, works flawlessly. Previous builds were a tad laggy but this build has been great.

Just head over to our forum and we'll help you.
If play/pause isn't working it is most likely the event server. Read our FAQ or setup guide for the most common errors
I looked on the site and didn't see a guide on how to get this to work with your tv, anyone know where it is?
Mine doesnt lag at all.

Hey guys,
I've been trying to consolidate links for streaming live tv for a while now and I decided to scrap together a simple web page with all the links. These will work "out of the box" on wm6 devices but 4 of them seem to have problems on 2003 and some wm5 devices without some sort of additional player. Let me know what you think.

Wow, very nice. Thanks for contributing some intelligent content - a refreshing change from all "WOW - Stream YouTube" posts. I've added this to my list of frequently accessed Favorites.
excellent tv site contribution....have definately added to my favs!!!
Good job with that site....I wish I knew more about these streaming tv sites....I would love to be able to see more local news on my device - I wonder how long before all news sites have streaming video for handhelds.
Is there a way to search for more sites?? What should I be searching for besides "internet tv"? I see a few of your sites you are directing us to start with a url of "MMS" is this what I need to be searching for??
well searching for feeds is kinda tough. If you come across an in page windows media player type feed then that will work. Send me the link and I can put it on the site. As for file types to search, you can try .asx or look for links that start with mms://. I try to set aside some time on my Sundays to search out new links on top of that.
Wow, this is nice. Also adding to my favorites. Thanks man!
Hey guys, I have upgraded my server and I'm try to drive up traffic to the site. If you have enjoyed my work and have a digg account then please click the digg it link at the bottom of my site or click here to help spread the word. Thanks for you help and your feedback guys!
hey man love the idea im having trouble though i cant stream any of the sites over my 3g on at and t i can on wifi coudl this be that proxy on at and t? i dono much about it.
No it should work. Try it in another area, it might just be your signal strength.
on nickolodian i got unspecified error on cnn it just buffered at 0 forever on fox just buffered at 0 for awhile and then the server is busy or is not responding try again later same on comedy chanel...
any way im sure its a phone side problem not your site but help would be apreciated what im noticing is the 3g icon is switching to hspda for a second then goes back to 3g so it looks like its not even trying to use data
sorry i forgot to add that i was trying your sugestion to try it in a diffrent area
Great site...I really am glad that I can keep up to date. hopefully son we can localize some channels. Just out of curiousity, how do I make me default video player the tcpmp? And if it really matters. Thanks
Flyguy, You can change the settings in TCPMP to open mms at the very bottom of the file associations but it seems like a lot of people are have problems viewing these feeds in TCPMP. Give it a shot and let me know if you have better luck.
thanks
thanks for putting this together for us. I've added it to my favorites as well.

I'm using AT&T with an 8525 (Hermes). What are your connection settings? Try setting both connections to MEdiaNet and then disable the proxy. If you have the proxy enabled you will not be able to stream TV through that connection. About the only thing the AT&T proxy will pass is HTTP traffic.
I'm also using TCPMP v0.81 as my streaming player. Works fine for me over an Edge connection. A little slow, but tolerable in most cases. Just had to set the file association in the settings.

anyone know which remote desktop app is good? im looking for app to control my desktop through 3g network (not wifi). Please let me know your opinions. which is worth the money and the better free apps.
Was a thread a couple days ago...i downloaded remote desktop and it works great for me

i'm looking for the best one too. i'm currently using phonemypc and it seems ok but it's a bit laggy even over wifi.
I'm using WYSE or something like that. Works good so far and it's free.

do you know if it can connect over 4g? or any program that can connect over 4g?
ive been using myphonepc aswell. super easy setup when you want to add another computer.
phone my pc is amazing, over 3g it's quick and over wifi it's super speedy even on the highest quality. The ease of use is very nice, and my favorite feature is that since it's essentially just VNC and not remote desktop it doesn't force you to log out the current user session like when you connect over remote desktop. Totally worth the $10 it costs, 5/5 score
LogMeIn Ignition Beta is actually on the market believe it or not, FOR FREE!

when i downloaded it , it was free beta
I use Xtralogic's remote desktop and love it! That WYSE app is nice too.
I think there is a lot of missing information being provided here by people.
I have used LogMeIn and PhoneMyPC, but the latter doesn't allow for logging in and the former did not let me do any mouse clicks.
Which of these apps actually fully works (log on, mouse clicks, etc.) with the EVO and that fact that it does not have a tackball to act as the mouse?
Ceger
Well, no one asked those specific questions... The Xtralogic Remote Desktop app, uses the screen like ur laptop touchpad... mouse clicks work the same way. The WYSE app, allows u to click by pressing what u want to click, kinda like doing to natively from the phone... why not just download them and see for urself?
I can logon using both, btw

Tried WYSE, but seemed slow using VCN. Not sure I want to try Remote Desktop as I do not want to have to use RDC services as it logs you out of your current PC session.
I have just noticed that PhoneMyPC has been upgraded to have Logon Support, but the current version is having network issues, in that it cannot connect at all. Since I had bought that previously, I will probably wait for that to be corrected.

You get what you pay for. It's not cheap but I bought the xtralogic rdp also and I must say I am BLOWN AWAY. Over WiFi its smooth as butter. It's not perfect over 3g but works well enough. I love how you can define the screen resolution.
Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far
Top Job BBC !!
Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.
Hopefully it will work for you.
Def gonna be one of my most used apps
Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?
EDIT: i have tried using market enabler but still can't find it on the market, i need a UK provider or the .apk

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

Dave

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..
I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.
Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

we can trick the market app with marketenabler, can we do the same with this?
can anyone send me there uk service provider id number, the thing that gets changed in the market enabler, so i can try it out?

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.
and do these vpns work over 3g?

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?
Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237
Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.
very handy!

Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.
Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again
Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.
Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!
A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.
concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv
This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.
Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?
Congrats on making it to the frontpage of XDA News
Mods, if this is not the correct forum, please accept my apologies and move to the correct forum. Thank you.
Ive been searching for an app that will kill devices that are connected to my home WiFi. Wifikill doesnt seem to be updated any longer and isnt working on LP, and I cant seem to find an app that is being actively developed. I really dont need a huge suite that redirects pictures, or finds exploits, forges packets, etc. Just a simple scan the network, and boot the device is perfect. Mostly just to kick the kids off when they arent listening. Maybe make them go outside and get some exercise instead of sitting in front of the xBox all day. I get tired of yelling and tearing the cord out of the TV or router lol.
Thank you in advance.
