Invest in a slingbox and slingplayer mobile software.
+1 to the Slingbox idea.
i have a slingbox great picture with LTE!
Using a. TV tuner in your PC with orb is much cheaper, and does more than just stream TV. I use it, and it works. I have to say though that their development team and support suck.
Also, the myhava Vulkano is much better and cheaper than slingbox, and easier than orb.

slingbox
I have a slingbox and love it, the sling player works great over 4G too.
That is quite an investment however...
You could take a look at apps like Crakle, that have archived TV shows for viewing. For live TV, you're options become much more limited.

I have the vulkano platinum, and the hava titanium. I like their products, but they DON"T offer any support of their older products. I can't in good faith recommend them again until they start offering support for their legacy products. They purposely block the data stream to the legacy products using the vulkano app because it works fine over wifi, but it doesn't over 3/4g. Which is where their servers come into play.

It doesn't stream live tv by you can watch tv shows, the application is called tv shows stream.

Netflix did have a job posting earlier in the year suggesting that they were looking for an Android developer.
http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/netflix-targeting-streaming-for-android-with-latest-job-posting
Rumor has it Netflix will have a streaming Android player soon, hopefully very soon.
For now we'll wait. I wish they just used flash instead of the special plugin they require. If you change ur UA String to desktop and try to stream a movie, it asked you to install their silverlight plugin.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

haha wow really. Now i just need an app that sends a message to a satellite and then it sends a laser beam to scratch my ass... (got it from a movie)
Google TV is going to support netflix is it not? and that is just android
I believe the Netflix support is because of GTV has Chrome built-in and has the tools necessary to play it. There's an Android app in dev that targets mobile phones and tablets.
its coming give it a few...im sure it will have a better ui than the one on the iphone.
Soooo amped for this. The "workday" will be so much more fun now...lol

Question about streaming. Does 4G affect streaming audio/video or does it just affect downloading/uploading a file(s)?
Figured this would be a good place to post this, but is there a good Netflix app to just manage my movies and such?
Have you tried PhoneFlicks or QueueMan? I use PhoneFlicks and it works well, I've never used QueueMan but have heard it works well too.

It'ss pulled from appbrain sometime since yesterday. I personally was hoping for a review before I spend $9 on it.
I'm calling BS on that app. For instance, Why does he have it priced at 4.99 and 8.99

I'm wondering if it worked. It was pulled from the market in 24 hours or so.
My dads Ipad has an app called Zumocast.. Which is like a media center..
He streams all his videos/movies/music from his home computer to his ipad on any internet connection, doesnt have to be within his network..
Its pretty bad ass actually.
I told him there is no way an ipad/iphone would have something that an android doesn't..
But there is no zumocast for android.. There has to be something like it right???
and Zumocast is free too!
I am definitely interested in this....I have been searching...only thing I found so far is torrent-fu, also free

I use Audiogalaxy for music, and it seems to work pretty well. I made an account with Zumocast when it first launched because they promised an android app, but that has yet to surface still.

yep use audiogalaxy here and it works great for music but at the moment the only way I know of streaming videos is through setting up a server using vlc and using VLC Stream & Convert to watch it.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/vlc-stream-convert/com.gmail.traveldevel.android.vlc.app
I have used zumodrive and dropbox to do both these actually, but on both my old etch e sketch..i mean iphone and EVO I have used OrbLive and it rocks.
With OrbLive I can stream tv from home to my phone..whereas dropbox and zumodrive I can't.
I have ripped backups of some of my DVDs and also watched them on phone..again with Orb Live this rocks cause you provide the storage space on pc or phone and with zumo and dropbox you get 2GB for free before heading into monthly fees.

Alright. So what is the reason that we cant stream on droid x
As far as I know, there aren't any devices that can stream yet.
Netflix claims it's lack of adequate native DRM support in the Android OS.
Not even 3.0 can support it? Come on Android!

I was referring to Android devices, the Netflix app works like a dream on my ipad.
One if the problems is the app is apparently looking for DRM built jnto the cpu, not the operatjng system. If that's the case you'll never get it running on any of the older phones.

From what I have read over at droidxforums netflix will only stream on snapdragon processors. They have the right security built into them.

This may be inappropriate, but why would anyone pay for movies (and/or Netflix service) in the first place? It's not like there isn't anyway to get them free

Netflix is 1000x more convenient and not illegal like pirating movies and TV shows.

Thanks for the info. That makes sense about the processor.

The whole "needing hardware DRM" thing is horse crap, Netflix is just being too lazy to do it through software in the Netflix app for Android. You see them requiring Intel or AMD to put in a hardware DRM function in their processors for streaming on desktops and laptops?.....
I was so happy to hear that the Netflix was coming to android .... but not anymore this is sad.
that's what they're saying that its an issue w/security like were going 2 sit there & record off our phones quality would suck even if u could

If you have Playon installed on your PC, you can use the Playon Android app for Netflix, Hulu, etc

Technically, you can use the PlayOn work around. You have to intall an app on your PC and the client on your profile, get an account with PlayOn and it streams from Netflix to your PC to your Phone. At least, thats my understanding.

Yeah thats what Im saying, I dont mind paying for netflix, but if I have to pay playon as well, it just seems unnecessary and redundant!
They made an app for it, even demo'd it. However, it got leaked and people used it. You can use it to manage your queues though. Just can't seem to stream.
So I am a recent iPhone converter and I am used to being able to buy movies on iTunes. Can I only rent on the Android Market? I have searched and found no answers. I downloaded "Video" app but it tells me i am rooted and can't use it. I just want to buy a movie so I can watch it as much as I want.
For the moment it's rent only. I'm sure that will change soon.
You could always put films on your SD card and watch it on your device like that.
Yea, i really want to just purchase some since i travel so much. I guess i will just have to purchase some digital copies or something. That's so stupid though.

I agree. They are losing money hoof and mouth, IMO.
There is about 10 movies I would buy right off of the bat if they had them available. Unfortunately some of the digital copies I have are that stupid ultraviolet crap were you have to stream it. Does me no good on an airplane.

They're blocking rooted users. There are ways around it of course, but I'm not sure we're allowed to post here. Suffice it to say, google is your friend.
