watch espn? - Thunderbolt General

Does anyone have the app running? Can someone dl it and see if it will let you register? Mine is having problems.

i had the trial running for a day or 2. then it asked me to activate it. since im a comcast user, it wouldnt let me. i think if youre using verizon fios, or regular internet, you can activate it. i think i will borrow my buddy's log-in info for his fios to activate my watch-espn.

just a side note, there are way better sites for watching sports, now that we have flash player on the Tbolt.

Everything works fine for me, I have Verizon FiOS. Streams live, good sound, good quality.

Like what?

Mine works great. I have Oceanic/TimeWarner. Works good even over 3G. Don't have 4G in my area.

atdhe.fm - my favorite. lots of everything
stopstream.tv - this one plays more of the popular games
espn3.com - the espn official online site. works good, but not a great selection.
rojadirecta.es - this one is kinda tricky, cant scroll on the phone, but can tether and then watch it on the laptop.
there is a few more. i just cant remember right now. got to dig through my bookmarks

veetle.com is another one. they have a mobile version of the site as well.

well since this is an app and this does work, this belongs here in the apps forum. thanks for your concern
Hey I'm not saying it doesn't. All I said was its been in the Android App forum for sometime now. The discussion has been going on over there. That was all.
Great app....works just fine on my EVO running CM6

I tried listening to a game this sunday and did not get an audio stream. Anyone else?
Just a heads-up...there are also a few sites that regularly run feeds of all the NFL games. Since they use Flash video, guess what phone plays them perfectly I got to watch the Ravens (lose) on the way home from the shore this past Sunday. It was nice.
Which sites do you use?

Well, while I don't claim to be innocent of watching unlicensed streams every now and then, I'm not gonna go posting them here Seriously I found one good site after a single Google search and it has had all of the games so far. Basically just links to different people streaming their capture card input on any one of the popular live streaming sites. It's silly that they make it so hard to watch games when it's obviously no replacement for a real HD channel but then again charging out the ass is the hallmark of professional sports so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Gotta sell those overpriced Sunday Ticket packages somehow...

Very true and I'm fine with that but I don't always feel like doing all kinds of hacks to get a Verizon app authorized on my phone when I could just bookmark a page. To each his own I guess.
this works for menial tasks like seeing scores, but streaming crashes my phone running baked snack after awhile. trying to watch redzone on sunday after awhile the program crashes and the only way to get things back to normal is to pull the battery.
I've been trying to run it in 4G but it doesn't log in at all. But as far as running in 3G I can watch view and do anything without any issues. Kinda sucks but I love having the app again.

gotcha, I do that with most stuff, actually like the LIVE TV app just streams to "one of those web pages", so in that sense the app is pretty much useless, just bookmark the pages. I just miss that NFL app on my Sprint phone!!!!!!!!!!!
how could you let verizon outbid you on THIS ONE sprint
Awesome, I was bummed when Sprint launched that piece of crap update to their NFL app; looked like a kids toy. I just got my Evo purring and this app was on my wish list. Thanks for posting!

I actually like the new sprint football app... they really can't do much more than what they have done with it since they lost the rights to the nfl games.
I also love the NFL app... I just know it is temporary and will have to be redone all the time =| I did actually watch my skinz beat the boys on my phone from start to finish without any issues other than hitting deadspots for a signal..was great!
This app works great. Occasionally cuts out here and there, but not bad for the price!
I was bummed to see that Sprint lost the sponsorship to Verizon, glad this works.
So is there any charges or other terms not mentioned as far as paying for this app monthly or is it completely free?

Best torrent app?

Does anyone have any experience with different torrent apps available? Currently using AndTor, cost $2.99. Pretty happy with it, cept it can only DL 1 torrent at a time.
Not looking for a torrent manager, but a full featured client.
Sent from my G2 using XDA App
Red Torrent/Red Torrent Lite is the only other one I know of.
I haven't actually had a reason to use it yet, so I don't know how well it works, but it includes an option to download only on WiFi, and to automatically restart when WiFi reconnects. (These settings are in the free Lite version, not just the Full)
Swarm is the best one I've used yet.
There were many steps and columns. It was most tranquil.

Seems red torrent takes forever to queue a torrent, sticking w/ AndTor for now....
Not sure why but redtorrent crashes my android 2.1 phone (Xperia x10) whenever I try to add a torrent.
I don't even know why people would charge for a client, all PC/windows/linux clients are free. I'm using tTorrent lite (free) but it's limitation is 100KBps download speed.

Having all sorts of issues wth andtor, but am sticking it out snce I already paid for it.
Dtor beta I tested for a bit but I kept getting fc's...and I said f-it.
I contacted the andtor dev and he's got some fixes/new-stuff on the way, so I'd keep an eye out there

how safe is it to torrent from a G2?..

tTorrent is the best one I've used so far.
+1 for tTorrent.

+1 for ttorrent, unless you don't want to download the whole torrent (it won't let you select individual files) then I use Swarm
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I really like swarm. The only problem I have with Swarm is that I couldn't find an option to stop downloading when I switch from WiFi to 3G network (though thanks to tasker I can automate it). In fact, I find that the program could use a lot more options.
the utorrent remote app is best
The one I am using at the moment is Swarm. Can really recommend it. Fast, stable and easy to handle.
Ya personally I love uTorrent. Great app and great program on a PC/Mac/Linux.

[Q] Anyone try Slingplayer Mobile on the XOOM yet?

I was wondering if the current slingplayer works on the XOOM. I don't want to spend 30 bucks for an app only to find it forces close on launch or something.
Thanks!

I have - it works fine. It looks like Sling updated the Android app yesterday to include high quality streaming, finally! It runs in full screen on the Xoom - the picture looks good (not great, but good). Hopefully Sling will release a tablet-optimized version as well.

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.

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.

Has anyone modified this to work?
Mine works but I have Verizon FiOS TV, but I get ZERO sound. Frustrating.

I haven't found anything yet. You can tell it you have verizon internet and forget your information. It'll give you four hours to try it.
I almost forgot, you can access EPSN3 through the web browser and it works. The thing that blows about it is that the site auto adjusts qaulity. Most of the time it fine for me, but when my 3G bandwidth is jumping around, the stream pauses till it resettles. One bar looks very pixelatted. Two bars looks good enough on the phone. Three or more looks great, but you really don't see much of a different past three. I have gotten five bars for short periods of time.
To use the webpage, you'll have to log into EPSN through your ISP providers portal.
Another great app destroyed by marketing decision's! Damn what a pitty!

Live Streaming?

I was talking to a Samsung field ops manager at Best Buy a few weeks back and was told that live streaming would not be available on the Verizon variant. Anyone that has their phone in hand already that wants to verify that, I would appreciate it.
I literally just got my Note 5 in the mail an hour ago, and I just tested the live streaming. My initial answer is yes and no... I couldn't get it to actually show the stream live on my PC, but it's showing the videos after I'm done under the live area, so I have no idea, I'm probably just doing it wrong. I certainly wouldn't go by what some fool at Best Buy has to say about it... those people wouldn't know their ass from a USB cable.
I just tested mine out and I can confirm that it indeed does work!

Just open up the Camera app and then click on MODE, you should then see an option for LIVE STREAMING.
