Watch TV on Android - Android Apps and Games

There's a pretty nice app on the market called Androidvideo Recharged. It has many tv shows to stream to Android. It doesn't use flash, so it is compatible on more devices than most streaming apps.

Cheers , but I do prefer Icestream.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream
It can't be beaten, and its free.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Regards

IceStream uses flash though, and just links to other sources on the internet that you can go directly to on your browser.. They can be removed at any time also. Androidvideo has their own servers and can ensure that videos won't randomly be removed.

Don't forget to tell everyone that the app is free but you have to pay to watch anything.

I prefer SPB TV, it has not that many channels, but enough for me, and it's free.

You don't have to pay to watch anything. What are you talking about. They do have a premium membership but they also have free videos. If your not smart enough to figure that out, maybe you.shouldn't be on XDA.

Ice stream isn't even on the market anymore and none of the links on my version of the app work anymore nor have they for weeks. Least with androidvideo, when they have a server problem, they have their videos back up within days, not weeks.

Official Vevo app now in the market

The official vevo app is now in the market. I just downloaded it and its amazing!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using Tapatalk
What exactly does this app do?
I can't find it. What is it?
Who knows? But it's amazing!!
The wait is over!!! The #1 online destination for music videos is now on your Android phone VEVO lol
Is vevo is **** that is all over youtube music videos
4gCM7
I can't find it in the european market (spanish at least). Can you share the .apk?
Thanks!
Thanks! Too bad there's now video commercials between videos though
For those who don't know what this is:
http://www.vevo.com/
It's like youtube for artists' videos.
Its only for USA i think
Very nice app so far.
Minor annoyance is that there doesn't appear to be a way to default it to HQ. The video has to buffer, then start, then you click HQ, then buffer a little more, then plays.
Maybe they do that so that people who don't know any better just play the video without HQ and they save on the bandwidth?
Can someone post the .apk? I am in the US, but since I am using a Brasil Milestone2 I do not see this application in the market. If this is a paid app then nevermind. I am not trying to pirate anything, just would like to try this out.
it seems it was removed from market as fast as it was posted
You sure? Still listed on appbrain

This app didn't work well for me at all. It likes to force close, alot. Like someone already said if you wunna watch in hd you hafta wait for it to buffer and then hit the "hd" button and then wait for it to restart buffering and then you can watch. But even once the hd video was loaded I wasint impressed, it still didn't look very good on my phone. I'm using a droid X 2.2.1

[Q] Question about remote desktop

Just got my tablet, and must say I totally dig it. I do have a few questions maybe you guys could help me out with.
I have a desktop next to my entertainment stand in my living room. It's hooked into my surround sound and big screen. When I have a bunch of people over, I like to have Google Music running and play it through the surround sound. So, I wanted to be able to control my desktop through my tablet. We sometimes go outside to smoke or grill, etc, and I'd like to take my tablet outside to control my desktop. Now, I have gmote installed already, and it's great. You can use your tablet as a touchpad, or a keyboard, and can browse through your music/movies with ease. BUT....I want to be able to see my desktop screen through my tablet since I use google music more. Can anyone suggest any free programs that I can use? I've read about VMware, and this might achieve this, but not sure. Haven't been at home recently to test this out. All I want is to be able to see my desktop screen through my tablet and be able to change google music songs.
Thanks for any input!
Hi,
I'm using TeamViewer, available for free on the market.
It works fine.
why don't you use splashtop included in your transformer ? work very well..
I have to agree with the above poster, I use SplashTop HD on my tablet for all remote desktop-ing needs and it works beautifully. Instant streaming speeds from your desktop to your tablet (obviously reliant upon the strength of your wifi connection). You'll be able to stream both video and audio to the tablet with it without lag, enabling you to even watch movies via remote desktop on your tablet. If it's not on your Transformer already, you should definitely look into it
TeamViewer can remote your Desktop from WAN...
It's the reason why I choose it...

SplashTop HD can connect from WAN as well, I use it to view my PC at home while I'm at work.
Good to know.
In fact, I've don't tried SplashTop HD...
Why do it simply ...
Not trying to hijack and staying on topic with these apps, can you use the above mentioned to move files around? The wife wants to be able to organise our photo albums from the transformer.
Thanks.

I appreciate all the replies guys. I don't have splashtop on my pad, but I see it on the market, and it's 9.99. Should it have come stock on the pad? I am running the stock rom, since I can't root yet.
another question. Seems most of the programs you suggest will stream from my desktop to my transformer. I still want it to play from the desktop through my surround sound as well. Will it do this? I'm at work, so I can't test anything until I get home. ...not like I'm doing any work here anyway. lol.
Just installed teamviewer on my work computer, and must say wow. It's working flawlessly. This is exactly what I'm looking for, and free! Thanks!

SplashTop HD should allow the sound to play through both sources, the tablet and your surround sound (as long as it's turned on, of course). It will not hijack the audio.

Move files around within the computer only? Yes, you can do that easily. Moving files around between the PC and tablet via remote desktop is another issue

The Asus comes with a preinstalled SplashTop standard version. You can buy the HD version on the market. It's even better. The standard version can be choppy sometimes with less quality.It enables me to watch Live-TV on my tablet from my mediacenter pc running MediaPortal. if you use the same MC, you can try aMPdroid: it remote controls and streams MediaPortal functionality but it's not an RDP app.

The best apps that have been pulled from the Android Market...

NOTE: These apps do not exist on the android market any longer because they in some way violated the market's ToS.
I thought this would be a very informative thread for everyone to add to, though I can only think of a few off the top of my head. Please, Add great apps that have been pulled from the market to the list.
I have updated the list to refelct all those mentioned as of 01-04-2012:
Grooveshark - stream songs and playlists via your grooveshark account
WifiKill - view and kick off users on a wireless network
ShootMe - screen capture app
Super Mario live wallpaper - watch mario go through three levels in the background
Icestream - Stream or download movies, tv shows, music, and more for free
Ghosttown - use youtube to search for and stream songs
Gtunes - Search and download single songs
Gameboid - Gameboy emulator
Bitsblock - A tetris variant
Snesoid and nesoid emulators
Openhome launcher - a launcher (unsure of why it was pulled...?)
These types of threads have been done before, but usually are more along the lines of "best apps to have for root users", etc... I am interested in knowing of more and will add others as I think of them. Please contribute!
I like this idea. Ill come back and add more as I think of them..
[*] Gtunes - allowed you to dl music
[*] Applanet - check it out (last attachment)...and if you like it, i'd love if you hit that *thanks*

WifiKill is not found in the market.
I also hate when an app isn't available for your particular device, even though you know damn well your device can run the app (having tested other ways). The whole Market thing is kinda frustrating. And now I have to have the Google Market AND the Amazon Market for my apps, and neither will just filter the FOSS apps, which is what I mostly want anyway.
I think bitblocks was the best version of tetris yet on android. It was removed. Also Snesoid, and Nesoid, though I understand the author was violating the GPL, so what can you do....

Ice film is working perfect for me though. After I installed non neon MX and non neon XBMC I opened MX Player and downloaded the codec it wanted me to download. After that I closed it out and opened XBMC. Acted a little funny. Went to application manager forced stopped MX player and cleared data, did the same to XBMC. After clearing everything out I then opened MX Player again, closed out and opened XBMC. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
Edit: Could it be your signal? When I drive to Orlando it says I have 4G but its weak as hell. Lags while watching videos. This is around Waterford Lakes Town Center.
Well I've only tried it on Wi-Fi, 4g is great for me. I get close to 3mb a second

Recent versions (v0.3+) have an integrated Download Manager that even supports multiple concurrent connections, pause/resume etc. So it should work well for big files now.

Yes, 2.x cannot be supported as it lacks some required APIs. However Android 4 is almost two years old now and I guess most people have upgraded by now.
any free app?
