Hi there,
Does anyone know of any good sites I can watch live tv on my HD2?
Perhaps including satellite channels..
Thanks in advance..
The best site I have found so far, is http://www.tvcatchup.com
BUT you need to use Skyfire as your browser as it needs flash support.
Seems to work nice, it does quite a few channels, but it is a live service, so what you see is what is actually broadcasting on that channel now.
You should actually need a TV license for it, as it is live.
thanks thats great
i'll try this later, cheers.
For the basic channels (including the world cup games) use myplayer, one of the best programs available for the hd2 imho - also has iplayer, premiership matches (not live) catch up (4OD,5 etc.) and pay stuff.
ye myplayer is ace

Im gonna use it to watch the match tonight when im in work
I cant get anything to work for tonights game... myplayer, opera ... i installed flashlite too... nothing...
Try this...

You need to register (free) but it works a treat.
myplayer works fine for me!

It does say that you'll need Coreplayer installed as well to watch the Live TV though!
¹ CorePlayer is required to view the Live Digital TV (UK) streams

You don't actually need coreplayer for the live tv. Just set the digital tv quality to std or low on the options menu and then u can using streamingplayer or wmp - which needs to be set as ur rtmp player.

I wrote a guide about that!
Does anyone know of a way to watch 4OD?
Thats pretty much the only thing I want to watch on the move and Its one of the few things I cant get working.
Myplayer doesnt show it in any lists unless Im missing something. Was it removed from the latest version of myplayer? I ask that because Ive seen more than a couple of people state that 4od is included in myplayer.
Do the old versions of myplayer still have working 4od?
Any other way to watch it?
Skyfire just gives me a black screen when I try to watch any of the 4od streams.
Anyone got this working at all???
Now that Netflix is officially available, does anyone know of or can develop an application that will cache the videos? This way we can play them locally after losing network connection?
I know this is the entire reason Netflix had trouble licensing the Android but I think it is a really important feature.
That would be the best feature ever. About the only time I would use netflix is on my weekly flights between Atl and Mia. Any wifi on a plane (if at all) sucks. Would prefer to download the movie at home or while waiting in the terminal and play it back on the flight.

Has anyone tried to purchase TV episodes through the Google Play store or through the Play TV & Movies app? I noticed that when I search for TV episodes in the play store on my One X, no TV shows are returned in the search results. I also noticed that if I select a "featured" TV show through the Play TV & Movies app, there is no option to purchase a TV show episode. I contacted Google Play support about this and I have an open ticket, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue on an AT&T HTC One X?

have you installed the play store apk that came from jellybean? You need that.
Thanks, I didn't realize that I need Jellybean(or components thereof) to purchase a TV episode from the Play Store though. I'm not sure how that makes sense for Google to cripple the ICS version of the Play Store. Google is saying that anyone who doesn't have Jellybean can't purchase TV show episodes?

I have verizon as an isp. Well, I bought a movie and I can't watch it on my tablet. Verizon wants to install silverlight, but it's not compatible with this tablet. Does anyone have any input on this? THanks
What is the movie saved as? .m4v .mkv?
If you have the actual file on your device then it should open with something like BSPlayer. Bsplayer plays every file type that I know of. Free from the Google play store. If you are trying to stream from online and it is asking for a desktop windows plugin that is not available on android then I am afraid I do not know how you can play it.
Where did you buy the movie from?
You can watch movies from a number of places. The easiest is to purchase the movie from the Play Store then it will show up on your "Play Movies and . . " app. Then you can stream it over wifi or download it and watch it offline later.
Give us a bit more info and I'm sure we can figure it out.
Dice Player ftw. It has gone free, has hardware-decoding ability, nice interface and is good to battery, has gesture control.
(I like vPlayer for its gallery features, but the last time I actually used it, it didn't play as many files as Dice does -- I just browse to them with Total Commander and set Dice as the default app to open the respective file extension with -- tadaah!)
EDIT: I have lots of local files to play, so I didn't get into the streaming part others already pointed out -- I don't have enough experience with it.

Where did you get the movie? Sounds like you're trying to watch it through a web browser. My guess, you got it through some Verizon VOD service.
I bought it from the verizon site.

you have the option to either stream it, or download it. It would not let me download it because of drm problems. I'm running cleanrom 2.2. My wife has a stock tf300 tablet, not rooted, and she can play it on hers
I bought it from the verizon store,(vod).It's a drm problem. Like I said, my wife can play it on her tablet. Thanks for the input
I have problems with M8 Amlogic tvbox recently bought from Geekbuying (and so far no response to emails requesting support - not good)
The unit looks well build and basic performance, speed, display etc is OK. I've flashed the latest firmware (quite easy). But, big but...
UK TV streaming doesn't work properly:
BBCi player app: sound, but no video (black screen)
4od app: plays downloaded videos, but streaming live content gets "can't play this video" error message
Eurosport player app: live content gets "can't play this video" error message
Can anyone shed a little light into what is wrong here please ??
is there a missing codec? or a missing app ?
thanks, I'd love to fix this - then the M8 will be a great performer - at the moment its pretty crap.
Not much of a response....

Response received from Geekbuying was basically,
"sorry you're having problems, there is nothing we can do, if the factory produce an update to flash we'll put it on the blog"
the request for return and refund for something not fit for purpose was ignored.
Here is one who won't be trading with Geekbuying again.

Hi,
Still the same, trying updated flash rom, but so far no improvement.
Happy to stick with it if the help is found to resolve the problem, I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems playing streaming video.
is this the square box? OTT TV BOX Model M8?

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same problem...
Try to install the update or re-install the ROM. I never has these problems before
Hi Sorry to hear your having problems
I have just bought the same OTT 4K TV BOX, Quad core, 2GB ram 8GB internal from amazon listed as fully loaded and rooted.
I can only speak for my box purchased sept 2014 and so far it works flawlessly... if you want UK live channels (i'm in uk anyway) google
for Mobdro.apk and install it to the device it works and stream a multitude of channels including all uk channels.
The included XBMC 13.1 works well and is preinstalled with all the popular video addons which auto update to fix dead links and non working
streams and 80% stream very well, yes some links are dead but thats the nature of the 3rd party apps put on these devices, the manufacture
and seller has NO control over these links etc.
I have taught myself how to completely reinstall the devices firmware and do a reinstall of apps and even the XBMC custom setup and again the
box works perfectly. To backup XBMC use USB SD Card pluggin 1.1.6 it's by far the quickest and best option to avoid problems.
My box has a startup logo saying Droidplayer.co.uk if yours is the same google them, go to their website where you can download the
DP app v2.1, put this on the device, uninstall XBMC and reinstall it via the app which will also redo the custom addons (big download though)
Early days for me but so far so good, box is well made with slightly skittish software here and there due to the 3rd party apps etc.
Provided remote is rubbish so have ordered a 3 in 1 air mouse keyboard remote.
Not much progress

Hi,
Not much progress really, I've flashed various upgrades (now on 7/22 firmware) with a little improvement; 1024p HD now works for playing videos (best with MXplayer so far) and BBCi player now works in HD, but no progress with Eurosport Player which refuses to play the live streaming data "cannot play this video" - yet it will play the videos from previous days. I guess either Eurosport use a different format for the live stream and the M8 is missing either a codec or some DRM data.
It is such a shame because my main use for a tv box is Eurosport player, then video quality overall is the best of any Android TV boxes I've tried, but the others all worked with Eurosport !
Does anyone have any clues ??

I hope you've managed to get this sorted by now. But I just got mine and had the exact same problem as you did. Reading this thread, and the response from @leezaal got me thinking about using the stuff from droidplayer.co.uk and sticking it on my box. So I tried it, and it works like a charm. Here's the link to get it working for anyone who's looking at this:
http://www.droidplayer.co.uk/blog/?p=351
So all in all, follow that link and you should be sorted, thanks to @leezaal and the fully loaded XBMC from that website is very useful.
Hi Willmott1992 and thanks for your offer of help, but it didn't.
I have lots more in XBMC (I guess this is "video underground"), but my subscribed Eurosport Player still won't / can't play live video stream and the problem only seems to exist with the M8 box.
Does anyone know what codecs / DRM files are required to enable the Eurosport Player app to function ?

Hi X1iGGVV,
Thank you for your response.
Do you (or anyone else) know why Eurosport Player won't play ?? This is what I'm trying to find out and hopefully find a fix.
I contacted Eurosport technical support and their reply was (as expected) 'Android TV box is not supported, only phone and tablet' - loosely translated as we don't want to know - funny because it works on my old Justop Droibox Lite tv box. Sadly they wouldn't answer the question what codecs are required for it to work.
If Eurosport player works on most android devices (including TV boxes) then it ought to work on a high spec. unit like the M8 ??
Hi!
I have try to get some help from Huawei P7 community, and instructions about to get colection of missing Codecs. It is about streaming codecs and compatibility with Mali-450 GP. P7 have the same graphics and there is a product that is made for Europian countrys. Hope to get some respons from the owners or developers for P7, just for the reason that is wrighte HW and tha I know that Eurosport Player working on P7. Specific Codecs have to be coped in the Vega box and in the directories that Eurosport Player looks for the codesc. I know tha this is a way looking backwords for Vega development just for that fokus is on 4K videos playing a lokal and not sreaming. I´ll not give upp, it will works!
On the other side I can undersend Eurosport Player support team that no help leaks from the team about hardware that is not fully compatible (codecs include) with europian market. It is not Eurosport team that have to fix it. It.s a developers of HW that have not think about something that is far away from China , Eurosport Player works from Europian IP networks and it is not posible for China developers to check upp every single app.
