It's a new post because the Wifi is a new tablet ... So Na! he he
Well I'm one of those type of people who loves to buy bleeding edge and watch the development, but wanna touch on a few things.
Xoom - Screen - Wow I never knew what I was missing The Xoom's screen looks great from any angle.
Shows up as a media player - *Once again let down by a non zune pass compatable device comeon motorola your droid x and droid 2 can do it.
And that's pretty much it. Had google body FC on me quite a few times, and is pretty much just a tech demo at this time...
The G-Tablet runs circles around the Xoom. Flash is more developed, Stock browser is better, Dolphin runs smoother, Text does weird bouncy effects that never seem to fill out correctly.
So yeah, Unless you need zune pass, It's my personal opinion just to pass on this tablet for now. It's just not worth it yet.

Please confirm. You can sync the Xoom with the Zune software?
I love my Zune pass and would love to be able sync directly to a tablet
How can you sync your zune pass music? This would be a great advantage for me as well.

Ok lets qualify this. You can sync the droid 2 and droid x with mediaplayer 11. since they shows up as a Media player - Not directly to the zune software.
Also the stock motorolla player does not handle WMA, you will have to use a market download for that . *nope this don't work either*....
But you can then use media player (like you can with the droid x) to move them over.

Just so you know this works for any device that shows up as a media device.. My old old samsung yep handles DRM zune pass songs like a champ as well
Xoom Wifi supports WMA? If so, your firmware is better than what the 3G owners have (no WMA support on ours, at least not yet)
Btw, glad to see a few Zune owners on here! Great player, nice sound. Had a 30GB one for awhile, but moved onto a Cowon - also have a legacy Yahoo! Music account which migrated to Rhapsody.

I've never really used Windows Media to play my Zune Content. I know it *can* do it, but you still have to use the Zune software to 'buy' music. Also, plays in WMP don't count in Zune (why do I care? I don't know... I just do )
Also, if you do a large bulk download in Zune, you can't actually play it in WMP until you Play it once in Zune (At least that's they way it used to be). For me, it made switching back and forth too much trouble. I just stay in Zune.

Sorry, this is OT I know, but I flippin loved my Cowon I used to have (still have it actually). I had an A2, and used that beast every single day for at least three years. Great players .
Zune doesn't use playforsure technology. WMA may see it and even sync music to it that was from your zune pass, but it won't play. WMA syncs with my EVO but the EVO can only play music that isn't part of the Zune Pass. I can play any song the songs that I used my 10 free credits a month for though.

Hijack alert: Cowon D3 is their first Android-based player (carpy insides, a Telechips CPU with Android 2.1). But a great sound.

Maybe I was confusing it showing up as a memory card vs player. I didn't know that Plays for Sure devices could use Zune passes. If that's the case this is great.

It is ok, really depressed me when I found out that the droid x suppoted it and my evo didn't that's why I am excited today. I am hoping that windows update will fix the machine i am working on and I can go back to my desk and try it out. Wish me luck
Well no dice on the direct transfer - Gives device doesn't support format error.
Trying the drop box method.... ah well. now back to being sad again
Bleh doesnt work via dropbox transfer either... Kinda sucks that the Droid x, droid 2, and my old samsung yep, (and your corwin) can do it but this device cannot
I was sooooo hoping this would work

Yeah price was not a factor. As I said screen is gorgeous on the xoom. Just feels so unfinished.
Get the vibe that android and Motorola have locked it down so devs don't realise how sloppy the code might be.

Live Tv
Get TV Live TV from the market. Live channels include, MSNBC,ESPN, FOX NEWS, GOLF CHANNEL, CNN, CARTOON NETWORK, DISCOVERY CHANNEL, NBC, ETC. I don't know how he's doing it, but I have MOBITV on my Fuze and AT&T charged me 9.99 a month for some of these same channels. All you need is Froyo 2.2 + Adobe 10.1. Another note, his streams are better ahead of TV MSNBC, or a few seconds behind. However, the quality is much better than paid app MOTV, and video sound is in perfect sync with picture. I wish i could rate it 10 stars for MSNBC alone.
Interesting mind posting a link? Through http://www.cyrket.com/ maybe?
What's the name of the app. I couldn't find it on the market.
eh if he's talking about http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.d3fc0n.android.livetv/

Doesn't this just load through the browser?

Don't know what problem you are having with this app, but it works perfectly for me. You already posted that it sucks. That's your experience not mine. I can tell you the streams are way better quality then mobitv app, and most importantly it's free. Instead of being 2 minutes behind regular TV it's only a few seconds. Show's exactly what is being shown on TV. No video bull****. Live stream and puts it all in one place, so you don't have to go searching for these channels. I have the app on my desktop. One click to open and then go to channel I want to view, few seconds later it loads the stream. Watched some of Golf tournament on ESPN and looking at show on MSNBC now. What you want a TV guide with time of shows? It's free and it does what it needs to.

Oh so that is the app? It does suck. It seem like it just loads from a browser. The video isn't displaying very well as it scrolls. It very well may be better then mobitv as I never used it if so that is a shame. It doesn't show live streaming for me I checked my tv and compared. The same show wasn't even showing. (maybe it's because of the location I am at? Chicago by the way.) But I guess for a free app it's alright..

i wouldnt say the app sucks cause it does work! However its a lil rough around the edges.
Yeah thanks for the suggestion. It is a little rough but definitely FREE and worthy of the post. It also looks like this app got released THIS WEEK! Some people were just born to hate. Look at "leofroyo's" first page on his thread to see examples of the douchebaggery around here sometimes. Again thanks!

Yep. Credit goes to the Dev. I'm just putting everyone on. I've been watching it on WIFI and it is cool for me. Don't know why anyone wouldn't give it 5 stars, cause it's free. Live channels all in one place, easy to access as shortcut on home screen. and "FREE". Once again it's FREE. LOL. Check out 1TVPC too if the economy isn't breaking you. It's affordable, unlike Jetflicks TV, it has live streams, movies on demand, sports, boxing etc.
I gota agree with the op an this one. I dont know how this app is working for everyone else but its workin pretty good for me. It does seems like its loadin from the browser tho an is alil choppy at times but other than that it works great

AGREE!-Its a little rough on the UI side but overall the function is there and thats what counts. If many of you bothered to read the devs description, its his FIRST EVER APP--cut him some slack...i get all local OTA channels 100%fine and some even 2-3secs earlier than my HAVA box (exact same as SLING but better IMO). My only complaint is low volume, and i would be more than willing to pay $5-SO LONG as he keeps adding channels and removing expired links/dead channels. ALSO my friend, you are the dev if im not mistaken but you are for some odd reason telling people to search for TV LIVE!??Why? If its called Live TV!?? I still cannot find a single app called exactly "TV LIVE"--maybe im talking about a completely different app, but this one is made by a Miguntu labs-i cant imagine someone not knowing the name of their own app tho--nwo im wondering....

Looks like this site just started up. They only have 9 tv episodes so far to watch. The movie section ends up taking you to another site where you have to sign up to see them, plus it only looks like a free trial for the movies, not sure, didnt want to take the time. I doubt this would work on HDMI since it is browser based using flash. I would say the site has potential if they can get some more content going.

Are you talking about iphonemoviez or some other site? From what I can tell the only reason that site plays thru HDMI is because it loads the movie into the HTC streaming video player which has HDMI out support. If anyone else know of sites that can stream using the HTC steaming video player that would be great knowledge to have...
Thanks for sharing, I have hulu on the phone but you can never have enough..
anyone filled out the credit card section thought?
I don't get it. It just looks like a bunch of links to pirated videos on megavideo. Nothing special really. There are a million questionable video hosts like that and with a Flash enabled browser you should be able to watch any of them.

Hey dwboston, I tried to look for this app in the market for the Xoom and I can't find it. Where did you find it at? I tried the search button, but it didn't find it either.
Works great for me
after the update, it works ok. the mobile controls need to be tweaked, but it is usable.
Slingbox on Xoom
The app works great on Xoom but is exactly the same as the application for the Android phone. Therefore if you purchased the application for your Smartphone no need to purchase it again for the Xoom.
Also since its the same app the controls could use some tweaking but overall it does what its suppose to and with good bandwidth the video quality is great.
I am working on a video to show you how it looks/works. Ill post it soon.
Slingplayer Overview Video
As promised I have a video overviewing Slingplayer app for Slingbox. Hope this helps those deciding on making the investment. I paid $180 for Slingbox(you really only need the regular) and $30 for Slingbox App for Android.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V-i-TA5J3M
Excellent video, thanks! I don't have a Slingbox, but it sure is tempting after seeing how flawless and easy it ran on the Xoom.
I bought a Monsoon Vulkano for 109.00 and the app is free. I have been very pleased with the quality on my DX and my laptop. I will try it on my Xoom as soon as I get one!

Your Welcome. Please 'Thanks' me , helps me out a little. I run daily videos of different applications on Xoom so you can check out my channel through that link to see other vids, as well as request Apps you want to see in action. http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas
The app itself is as flawless as the video depicted. Setting up the hardware initially for use over the internet can be a little tricky and its hard to make a generic video on how to set it up because the tricky part depends on customizing some port forwarding on your router. But if anyone is having issues with this setup just send me a private message. You probably shouldn't ask for help with the hardware setup in this thread because it doesn't really pertain to the Xoom itself.

From reading up on the device it looks really impressive. Especially with the HDMI In and the ability to have its own DVR. Thank you for sharing I am going to check it out.
For those that are on Dishnetwork with a VIP 922 or 722 with Sling adapter there is a free application. It shows up on the cellphone market, but not the tablet.
I downloaded the latest phone version in apk format from another site and installed it on the Xoom. The latest version has the HD mode that was just released on the normal Sling player. The browse portion is verticle, but when you play a video it switches to horizontal. Working great for me so far.
I have a Sling Pro-HD coming tomorrow and I am going to see how that works on other devices. If the quality is good I am going to hook it up to a device such as one of my Blu Ray players that has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon on it to see how that looks and works.

I didn't have to search for it. I have it loaded on my phone (Dell Streak) so it showed up automatically in my list of apps in the Market on the Xoom the first time I turned it on.
I have the slingplayer app on ea bunch of devices. I have it for the ipod touch, my Droid, I even have a Windows license of it from when I had a Winmo phone. I have one of the older Slingbox AV devices and I gotta say it's been great. Now that I can hook the Xoom up to HDMI I can literally watch tv anywhere I am. I am traveling this weekend, hotels typically have HDMI inputs and wifi so I always have my tivo with me. I used it on my last trip to watch local news at night back home. The controls aren't perfect as mentioned above but they're pretty good. I use the app almost daily either on my phone on the Xoom. Most people complain about the cost of the app but to me it's worth it.

One thing if you decide on the Vulkano, just get the "platinum" version it has the same abilities that the other units have but does not come with an SD card or hard drive but they can be added for the dvr feature. With the free apps for all devices, I think its the best deal going. Good luck!

sorry to bump this thing up, but what version of Sling player are yours? mine doesn't work, just loads a black screen, sometimes it hangs there and most of the time it closes.
NVM found an update sorry.
I have a Slingbox AV (old model) and it still chugs away. I watch a half hour show at lunch everyday on the Xoom. Works well.
Sling over Wifi seems to work okay. However, it doesn't seem to work over bluetooth tethering for me. Can anyone else confirm whether or not it's working for them via bluetooth tethering?

Bluetooth will most likely not support the bandwidth required for streaming. I would never suggest tethering (usb or bt) for anything other than just accessing the internet for google searches and other low bandwidth usage.
checkout a BT wiki for more info, BT is just not the best idea when it comes to any sort of high bandwidth file transfers or streaming or even tethering if you ask me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth
I have my droid 2 tethered to my xoom and I have zero problems streaming my sling box HD.

I'm assuming this will be a super noob question as no one ever asks but going to ask anyway.
Why is the Hulu fix/hack/edit any diff than this? So long as we can fool a browser into think it's a full desktop, why couldn't we stream through that instead of depending on an app to do it? #flamejacketon

this.
Besides, this same thread has been posted countless times, a simple search would've shown that. We are waiting for it to be released by Netflix, as our processor has the necessary security needed for the app to be released.
I do believe though, that we will have to wait until the LG Revolution is released to the public before we can get the app, as I suspect LG and Netflix have an exclusivity deal going, so LG can sell some phones.
Then again, I may be and have been wrong.

Netflix on android won't be using silverlight though. It could use Moonlight http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight, but support for that on linux is far worse than flash and would probably be even more of a battery killer, so I'm guessing they will port whatever they use for iOS on the iphone/ipad to android.
There's no way the iphone version of netflix (which has been out for a while) uses silverlight (jobs would never allow that), so I am guessing they will probably just use the same libraries for android that they have for iOS and create a wrapper around that with java to create an executable.

Netflix has always used silverlight, at least as far as I have known. And yareally
is probably right about how they are going to go about it.
The main reason why Winmo 7 had/has so fast netflix is because of silverlight and the native ability (I believe) for it to run on winmo.
Anybody using it?
And can you invite me in?

I just started using it (US). It seems pretty cool.
Android and iPhone apps are now up in the respective markets.
I used a proxy and signed up. But dont see the point, since the free account only lets you sync music from your PC. To listen to the streaming service, you need the 10 dollar per month package.

Well here in sweden i'm been using this service for over a year. And it is (by far)the best i've ever used. Sure they don't have every single artist, but there is so many I don't really feel the need for more.
I like it on my but $10 is a bit much for mobile streaming.

After all, $ 10 is too high a price. Available only 15 million songs. You can listen anywhere, anytime and can listen many different devices (mobile, pc etc.) I would rather buy the $ 10 album containing 12 tracks... No. no no .. I should have to think first what to say.
American network operators the pricing and quality is ****ed up. But many believe it is a lesser evil than $ 10 per month.
Spotify will not stay online
Anyone else having trouble on the Transformer? My dell streak will work ok, but the transformer keeps dumping to offline even though wifi is fine and all other apps are staying connected.

Known bug in Spotify on Honeycomb. Solution is easy but harsh: never make playlists offline available.
As long as you stream everything - you're okay. If you make a playlist offline available, it'll sync the first time and after that it'll keep saying it's disconnected.
And it's definitely worth the 10 bucks, I've been paying it for months and months (in Europe) and it saved me a ****load of money or time. If I had to buy all the music I've listened from Spotify, I'd had to sell my TF to pay the bills. Maybe even twice...
If your musictaste is pretty "conservative", not always looking for new stuff and getting addicted to it - it might indeed not be worth the money.
It's totaly worth it to have a paid subscription, i pay for premium
I use spotify all the time (at home, party's, cell phone etc)
The majority of the music i listen to is on spotify and i don't listen to comecial radio music

Deleting my offline content worked. How long has this been a known issue? I hope it is on a priority fix list.
I can have local content offline though without the bug happening.
Man, I totally want to try this. On Rdio right now. Can someone hit me up with an invitation?

Sure. What's your E-mail? You can send it to me via PM.
After using the desktop(MAC) client i really like the service. It makes me really want to get the premium app. Question does the android app stream my music on my computer to my android or does it simply sync it to my android?

The android client works like the PC client
I still can't get it work. Every time I choose a song, I get an info bar with no info and an OK box to click. It reads my TF on my network, but it won't stream any music. I had no online playlists (I deleted everything just to make sure).
It works well on my PC--a lot of great music that seems to stream more quickly than Google Music.

I reinstalled it, but still no go. I'm running Prime 1.5 & Netformer. Alas.
Great on the PC. I just walked down Memory Lane with everything by Kraftwerk. Life went by too fast--I used to be cutting edge! LOL
