I have DirecTV Sunday Ticket so I can watch my favorite team. My brother in law is always trying to make me watch his team, which is usually on at the same time.
So for Christmas I want to get him a tablet, so he can stream the game at his house and leave me alone. I have been looking at the Nook/Fire tablets. Would they work if not, what will? I really want to watch my game in peace. Thanks.

A man with real issues, glad to see it
Every android tablet with the android market supports streaming NFL games as long as you have Sunday Ticket and the RedZone channel. All you need is an Android phone/tablet and this app below. Now, the nook/fire dont actually access the Android market so you are going to have to go with a Galaxy Tab or any android tablet really that can connect to the market.

What a great problem to have during a recession!
Thanks for the help. The information about the apps was helpful, but I know he will not want to pay for the service. Also, I don't know if I want to give him access to my account. So what about sites like justintv,or others. Can that be accessed on a tablet?
The nook tablet and the kindle fire will work with sunday ticket as long as you sideload the android market.
I would suggest gifting a nook tablet more as it has better specs and is lighter but it's up to you.
As for how to sideload, just google it and you will find many results.
For justintv both the nook tablet and the kindle fire will work because they both have flash installed.
GMJ thanks for the answer. I just found out I have to travel for work the first two Sundays in Dec., so now I am looking at buying 2 Nooks. One for me, and one for the brother in law. Glad to know I can see my game while I am on the road.
justintv carries NFL games? :O
I heard a rumor they did. I could be mistaken.

wow, 8 bucks for that game compared to 1 dollar for wordwise in market. lol.
EA Mobile (makers of the iPhone Scrabble game) also makes an Android version. Oddly, they make it near impossible to find, purchase, and download.
On some Android phones you can simply go to rim.eamobile.com and find it by browsing. It's $7 just like the one a few posts up but if you like the iPhone version you might prefer this one since the interface is nearly identical.
That said, browsing the EA Mobile site does not work on all Android phones in which case I'd recommend using "User Agent Switcher" in Firefox from your PC to trick the EA site into thinking you are browsing from a compatible device. That's what I had to do and I'd be happy to post instructions if anyone needs them.
Alternatively, if you send me a PM I'd be happy to share the apk so that you can test it out before buying.
EDIT: I just saw the version on Handbrake and interestingly it is also made by EA, however, the interface is quite different than the iPhone-esque version available through the EA site (at least when I bought it a month ago). They are either selling multiple versions or did a redesign.

Seems to me like the official one doesn't support online games. From the site it states the following game types:
Play alone
Play computer
Pass and play (which to me sounds like handing your phone back and forth)

My thoughts exactly. I can buy the physical game for $10, and a used one from a garage sale for no more than $5.

thanks for the tip!
I, like many a XDA member, switch phones pretty often. This year I have been through a Nexus One, Samsung Vibrant, G2, and tomorrow I am ordering a MyTouch 4G. I have purchased 3 games from Gameloft. I have Sandstorm HD, Let's Golf, and Dungeon Hunter.
I bought Sandstorm on my Vibrant, and the other two on the G2. I was hoping to get all three games on my NEW SHINY MyTouch 4G. According to Gameloft though, the games only work on the device that you purchased the game for.
Now is it just me or does this sound like total BS? I mean why is it that every other app developer that dev's for Android can let you re-install purchased apps when you switch phones, but GameLoft can't. Is that F*%#@!$ ridiculous or what?
I mean I can see if I was to switch from android to iPhone, or WP7, but we are talking about a switch from one device to another. I am pretty sure they don't reprogram each game for each android device. I really love gameloft games but this is basically a deal breaker for me. If they don't give me all of my games on my new device, I am through buying games from them. I buy a lot of apps. I would guess that buy at least one per week.
Anybody else think this policy is BS and just a ploy to make extra cash?
Love it
I love Gamelofts Policy +1 for Gameloft WIN!
I find their policy absurd. That is why they will never have me as a customer until they quit being draconian and greedy. I think if they want to compete with the rest of the dev world for android they need to learn to play nicely in android playgrounds. If not they will not be around except for the people who think their policy is awesome. I feel really sorry for the ones who are not rooted who cant backup their gameloft games so they can play them on their new or replaced android phone.
-1000000000 for gameloft and their poor customer tatics.....
FAIL!

Lies, Spend more money make them richer so they can invest in R&D for better Games.
You know what?
I would also appreciate cross-platform support..
E.g. you pay for the full version of "Documents To Go" on your Iphone.. you still have to buy another Licence for Android to use it to the max there..
That's something I would like to see them reconsidering..
But of course switching devices with the same OS should be out of question..
I support pirating Gameloft (after buying first copy).
Policies like this are the reason they aren't selling as well as on the friggin Apple Store.
Dude, I just discovered this policy today which led me to this thread. I'm pissed cuz I just got a new G2 and the two games (MC2 Black Pegasus and Asphalt) can't be redownloaded on my new G2. This is just ****ing ridiculous. I paid nearly 5 bucks for those games. **** that. They lost me as a customer. NEVER AGAIN. They can bet I won't be downloading their games (officially) ever again. Bull****....
their games are the only ones that I don't buy.
1. greedy [email protected]!
2. their games won't work sometimes

I have recently become aware of this and it is a disgrace. They should put their stuff in the Market and all this goes away. I am currently in negotiations with their "support" people to see if anything can be done. I am not hopeful.
Is there a way of flagging this stuff with Google perhaps? Certainly, I would not buy anything from outside the Market and nothing from Gameloft again without properly checking these restrictions.
Supposedly, their policy has been changed according to Android Police. I haven't seen anything on their site that says so and actually attempting to download games fails for my new phone. Put in a support request, will see what happens.
Got this info on this website.

As a HUGE Phillies fan, you can tell I’m anxious about MLB At Bat 2011 and what it will bring to table. I was trying to get a hold of MLB.tv via Twitter and was referred to email the MLB mobile team. I asked if there were any plans to integrate live streaming video (MLB.tv) to their 2011 MLB At Bat Android app. The response I received was rather optimistic, yet rather vague.
————————————————————————————————————
Response Via Email (XXXXXX XXXXXXX) – 01/31/2011 02:19 PM
Dear Doug:
Thank you for your inquiry.
We are now offering live streaming of the games on select Android phones. We do not have much information expect the live games on the select devices. We will have more information as the season draws closer. Here is a list of supported Android phones that support the live games.
Droid
Droid 2
Droid X
HTC Evo
Samsung Epic
If you have any further questions please feel free to calkl our mobile department at 1-866-306-5311.
Sincerely,
MLB.com Customer Support
————————
What through me for a loop is the the Incredible is not listed nor are a host of other newer Android phones. One plus is that that the email mentioned that they don’t have any information except for the listed devices and more will be come available as the season nears. Lets keep our fingers crossed MLB fans!
Who else is eagerly waiting for opening day? Let’s hope MLB At Bat 2011 allows all of us to be there.
Reference: mlb.com
FYI Im Cardinals fan
Still can't watch local games I am guessing. Still a deal breaker for me.
I was hoping they would do that, the streaming during the World Series worked pretty well. As for local games, I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds a way around it. When I'm on 3G my phone says I'm two time zones away anyway most of the time.
You should check out Slingplayer. I never miss a Yanks game now that I have it, can set my dvr too.
that would suck if it only supported a few devices....that would be "fragmentation" that actually would piss me off since it has nothing to do with the OS etc.
If my Nexus S can't play MLB.tv and Netflix doesnt release an app soon....
This is a early statement. I'm baseball fan just let you guys know a head of time.

Root and use Location Spoofer from the market.
Is anyone else REALLY wanting this game on android as much as I am... gameloft is usually VERY good at releasing games for Android fast after ipod/iphone etc. however this game is taking forever... the last word about it was at the end of April... and here we are almost middle of june and no word at all
Decided to google this and wow, its just like WoW! Looks awesome. Maybe if enough of us email gameloft, they'll get this out quicker. Gonna shoot em an email myself for this.
I actually think it looks pretty cool too. I am just skeptical about buying gameloft games. Do they still have it where if you purchase the game from one device that it cannot run on another device?

Trying to find dungeon-hunter-2 for Asus eee pad transformer.
I have check gameloft store but when i pick andriod and going to finnsh my pay.
I cant pick Asus.
So i wonder this game cant be played on Asus eee pad transformer???
Or are it any other place to get this nice game.
No, still no version for tegra
hope it will pop up some more games for terga..
not many atm.
version 3.5.0
My bad i just read DH and you are talking about DH2 please ignore my mistake.
Bought this game for both my ipad and ipod and wanted it on my transformer. If you have bought and do a search for apk the one that is labeled "dungeon Hunter android ML igp GRAND TnB 350" works great and buttons are in proper place it seems a little stretched out but very playable.
So can i download it from gameloft?
IF so what pad do i pick?
i did a search but its like miljons of hits.
So not sure where to find it, have any good places for this?
Cant find any good download to get the game.
So its able for this asus pad.
any1 have good link or place to look at?
have appbrain, and roidmarket.
Must be more to search in.
Any one?
Gameloft does not support the Transformer. You can't buy any of their games, anywhere.
As far as I know, the only tablets Gameloft supports is the Galaxy Tab and the Xoom. I have seen a couple of Acer Iconia supported Games, but there are none for the Transformer.
The best thing for you to do if you want to see Gameloft games on the TF, is email them and let them know. Hopefully if people keep doing that, we will see support for their games.

Sure you can, but Gameloft still doesn't officially support the TF. I haven't really seen anyone have much luck with Gameloft games on the TF, outside of Order & Chaos. Have you had luck with others? I would love to know. I have a lot of money invested in Gameloft games, that I can't play on my tablet.

I've tried almost every Gameloft game they make, just to see if it works before I purchased said game. The only one I've been able to actually get to work and be 'stable' so far is Order and Chaos. I can get DH2 to download the data, but then it will crash after it finishes that. Any of the racing games works to some degree, but eventually a crash inevitably happens. I'm not exactly sure why, it sucks, because I'd buy them. But oh well, I can waste my money elsewhere. =]
I have gotten a few of them to work:
Acer Iconia versions:
Spider-Man: Total Mayhem
Asphalt 6
N.O.V.A.
LG Optimus 2x P999 versions:
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus
Hawx
I would really like to be able to play Dungeon Hunter 2, Sacred Odyssey and Star Front: Collision though
I've heard of Shadow Guardian and NOVA 2 working...What I'd like to know is how are people getting these games to work on the Transformer? I can't even edit the build.prop.
