Just seen that TVCatchup Android Application is in beta : http://tvcatchup.com/android.html
I would try it, but I'm running ICS
If you find any faults then please report them on our forums by clicking this link: http://forums.tvcatchup.com/forumdisplay.php?71-Tvcatchup-Andriod-Application-Beta-Testing-Feedback
Thanks for the heads up !
Not for me yet as I prefer the mobile site access that gives me the choice to play the stream in MX Video player but worth keeping an eye on.
Negative is that it stops working if you have advert blocking .

nice, thanks Bro
Android 4.1
Hi guys it's Colwal from TVCatchup.com if you are running Android 3.0 + then you will be able to use the ipad.tvcatchup.com streams.
I am running 4.1 Android so I cannot even run our own app, how ironic is that
I have to go through some stages to get the ipad streams working though on my ASUS Transformer in that I have to download the Dolphin Browser and change the useragent to desktop, as for some reason or other since the update you cannot change the useragent in the native browser any more which is slightly frustration.
We have nearly cracked all the problems with the first public beta release and have started working on Android 4.1 and we don't think it will be that long until the release.

If we didn't have adverts then you wouldn't have a service it's a simple as that and I hate them as much as the next person, but there is no alternative at the moment, but we will keep on looking at ideas and we have a few in mind.
Well I know I'm looking forward to it I've used tvcatchup quite alot recently, usually when the other half grabs the remote when the soaps are on.
If you want the ICS update then PM me on the forums.
Just goto m.tvcatchup.com in your browser and you can access the content without an app.
TV Catchup
The app seems to use the inbuilt stream player (very limited options), would be great to choose your preferred streamer or if the app provided it's own player ...
Or perhaps the ability of PVR / pause live TV, like Sky+/Tivo

First, I'd like the thank all the developers on this site for the great work they have done. My HTC devices have greatly enjoyed all the upgrades and hacking over the year with all of your help. That said, I'm not a developer, but I am wondering if anyone has had this idea yet.
For those of you who are not familiar with hulu.com, I'd suggest checking it out. hulu is a partnership between NBC and Fox to bring streaming video of their most recent shows to the net. Along with TV shows, they also feature a growing selection of full length movies.
Since there are a handful of ways in which we have been able to get youtube videos to play on our devices, I was wondering if it would be possible to do the same thing with hulu. I'm not sure how anyone would go about this, but thought this could be a starting point for a good discussion on if it is even possible to do.
Any thoughts?
I'd actually be very interested in this as well. Thanks in advance.
Wow! I just signed up for Hulu, and I've been hearing about it from friends and now here, lol! Yeah, it would be awesome to stream this on my Titan.
You can watch Hulu with the Skyfire beta but its a little choppy on 3G
Yeah, I was thinking that myself but you probably can't go fullscreen.
I know you can't on Youtube, anyways.
Hulu DOES work on the newest skyfire beta. But it is rather choppy (youtube works almost 100% now on there.)
But that is only running on a WIFI connection. As I can't seem to get skyfire to connect over 3g or gprs with my rom.
I've been able to use Hulu with Skyfire as well, but it's not easy at all to get to the shows you want and then you have to zoom in just right even to see the video clearly. Oh and it's choppy as hell. A dedicated player may be able to fix all these problems and make the service a deffinite must on your ppc
I watch Hulu videos all the time with skyfire, and they play flawlessly over 3G, and I can navigate the site easily.
Ok, so the people who have access to the Skyfire beta testing can play it on their device (Touch users have to overclock their devices to get smooth video). If we leave it at that, there's no reason for anyone to develop a standalone Youtube Player. But we do have one and I'm sure a lot more people like using that over Skyfire since the interface in much quicker and easier to use.
so... back to the question at hand. Is it possible to make a standalone player?
bump - id also be interested in such a player
Im not sure but, wouldn't you need to get a hold of Flashlite 3 for Windows Mobile before this would be possible since Hulu uses flash 8 or 9?
bump me 2 ***
would b amazing
can't beleive...
...that's been over a year and no atemps where made for a stand alone version of Hulu. that's sad, as I'm no longer able to play Hulu on skyfire any more
My problem is not being able to access it without getting the proxy error. No matter how I connect, Hulu still thinks I'm using a proxy server and won't allow connection because that's how they stop users outside the US from using the service (copyright issues with content providers).
LIVE TV ON YOUR PHONE
I wrote this guide along time ago in other xda-developers thread, this is the updated version.
There are several ways for watching live TV on your phone, I don't watch live TV on my phone, hope you find it useful though.
(UPDATE 10/15/2010)
TV SERIES ON DEMAND ARE AVAILABLE HERE: http://x.vu/179650
(UPDATE 7/14/2010)
First -MobiTV
After testing it out it is one of the best apps for watching TV on your phone, there are 2 versions, one included on the USA HD2 and the version found on the mobitv website.
Back in early 2009 I manage to hack the 1 day free trail version, it was after they release a patched version and removing the .vars wouldnt work anymore however I never notify mobitv about it, I never post my findings online because I didn't wanna get sued, however the hack doesn't work anymore.
Second -Mobile free TV http://www.mobilefree.tv
Never tested this one out.
Third -Skyfire http://www.skyfire.com/
Skyfire is one of the best ways to watch live tv.
Some useful links to use with skyfire are:
http://www.myfreetvsite.com
http://wwitv.com
http://www.mobilefree.tv
If you know more links please post your comments.
Fourth -SPB Online or SPB TV http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/tv/
One amazing application with poor channel lineup, the programing suck (at least for me) thats all im going to say.
(update)
as off June 8th 2010 SPB TV is NOW FREE
Fifth -HandiTV http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=22918
I used this app once, didn't really like it.
Sixth -artn3r’s mobile tv http://winmo.artn3r.com/?p=12#more-12
In its early stages didn't got may attention because it had channels in German and some other language however it may be useful to you.
"This is my first windows mobile application, it’s a player for online
streaming content like movies or radio. I started this app because
everytime I wanted to view the tv news i had to open the opera
browser and navigate to the specific website. With this application,
only 3 taps are needed to watch your favourite tv or radio show!"
Seventh -Online TVx http://www.onlinetvx.com/
800+ channels this app will keep you entertained for hours, one of the features that many of you will quickly notice and will definitely like is that it has ADULT channels such as Playboy.
"Online TVx is one of the most popular and downloadable online TV programs in the Internet. This complete professional program gives you an instant access to more than 1000 TV channels categorized by genres and countries."
MORE LIVE TV LINKS CAN BE FOUND IN THIS THREAD HERE (which is the actual FULL guide)
Post your comments, links and programs you use.
wow cool thanks for this.
Thank you very much
thanks alot
downloading mobitv now if u know an hacker dont post here but email me xD
Nice one, thanks very much will test it tomorrow..
Too bad none of those "TV" apps show anything worth watching. Wish cable TV would start streaming even if for a fee. At least that way someone could watch something worth watching.
I still think ORB is really your best bet right now. You have to have a PC at home with a TV tuner - but it works quite well.
www.orb.com
...its freeware - and what you end up with is you can stream any TV channel you can get on your home cableTV or satalite to your PPC or any other computer. Really kinda cool.

Actually I stop working on hacking mobiTV along time ago since I don't watch TV and as soon as some one hacks it and makes a post online the guys over at mobiTV are on your case in no time trying to sue you.
i have SPB TV on my HD2, if i click on a channel it says Opening.. goes into landscape and goes back with the headin Opening and it stays there.
Works fine on my HD2
but Ihave a strong signal and get pretty fast download speeds (1.5 mps). Works even better on wi-fi speeds of 3.5+. A couple of stations seem to load the buffer and play then load and play again no matte what the signal and download speed.

Re: [APP] myPlayer - BBC iPlayer client [0.40b 11-Jun-2010] BETA
You know BBC forced the shutdown of beebplayer cos they didn't want this functionality so I'd be careful how much time you put into this but keep up the good work all the same.
Sent from my T-Mobile_G2_Touch using Tapatalk
Yeah, I was going to ask, is this a Beta of the official app? If not, I still have Beebplayer, how is this better? (And how long do you expect it to last before it gets pulled? )
Are the BBC making an official one for android?
Just tried the my player app though, pretty good
Smoother than Beebplayer was.
Hi all,
Was using this on WM previously now usng it on my Streak great app.

Downloading now, will test it out later.
disappeared!
Agh I want to try this out but it's fine from the Market!!!
Anyone got the. Apk??
Can't find it on the market Anyone got a direct link?
WHY "An internet connection that is UK based" ??
I would guess because iPlayer wont work for anyone outside of the UK...
WHY "An internet connection that is UK based" ??
because the bbc iplayer only provides it's video streams to those of us living in the uk.
maybe a proxy server would help those of you living outside the uk?
Yeah, maybe if the software could come with something to setup proxy settings it might help those outside the U.K.
I'd install it and see if you had already made one but I'm testing out a little ROM development, the interface looks pretty sick though from the pics
Found a bug, it wouldn't pause for me when I was watching stuff on it.
Yep, pause button does nothing.
Like that app.
Great App!
I'd been searching all over for beeb player, and had pretty much accepted that I'd missed the chance. This is a really well made application.
Video was a little pixelated on wifi to begin with, but seems to smooth out after 20 secs or so.
You can get beebPlayer from hemorrdroids.net (link in my sig)
*** Updated to version 0.50b ***
Change list:
- Supports new BBC iPlayer layout
- Fixed pause button
There is no app yet but I figured this is a good place to post it for someone looking for veetle on android. The iphone/pad has an app but we really dont need one now that it works. I cant get cable here so I stream foxnews from veetle. Now i can watch it on the phone.
FOR REAL: Stream Veetle.com on Android
I recently switched to an HTC Inspire 4G from an iPhone, and I've been super frustrated that veetle.com doesn't stream natively to the device. I've spent a good chunk of time looking into how to do this and this morning I came up with a decent way to stream any veetle channel on an Android device.
Requirements:
•*Rooted, S-OFF, et al
• Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 Installed
• VPlayer (can be installed from Android Market)
In the default browser in CM 7, tap Menu, tap More, then scroll to the bottom and choose Settings.
Again scroll to the bottom, and tap Select User Agent, found under Advanced Settings. Choose iPhone for the User Agent type.
Navigate to veetle.com, and you'll see it's presented as it is on the iPhone, and VPlayer handles the m3u8 streams just fine. You might need to turn up the buffer size in VPlayer to get a nice consistent flow, but this is my new method for watching Veetle.com on my phone.

Hey it definitely works when you play the channels from the veetle website but there seems to be a problem when i try to view veetle channel links on other websites.It gives me a message COULD NOT FIND STREAM LOCATION .I have confirmed that the stream is working by using my PC ,so any help would be much appreciated.
Finally i can see sports on veetle. Since im using nym`s i cant see. Can someone port the browser.apk? im very happy with this rom and im not planning on a change, but if no one can port the browser i might have to think about it.

Please can someone post the app on the forum I can't find it on the market as its not available in my region
sorry to bump this but i need help. vplayer installs on samsung mini, but gives me an error and shuts down when i try to run it. So is there another program that does the same as vplayer but works on samsung mini, because i really want to use vettle. thx

I broadcast on veetle, full time. After my research on android, i found out that Android OS stream veetle using dolphin hd+vplayer could do it. Check MePirate on veetle movie list and go to my website for more details. There is vplayer.apk ready to be download there.

Not finding much launchers for my ugoos um2.
Anyone have any solutions?
Also has anyone had any luck with getting YouTube lean back working so that I can queue videos with my android device to the TV stick.
Utorrent would be nice if I could queue files from my android mobile to the TV stick also. Anyone got this working?
Thanks

launchers...
Can you please describe this problem further? When I search for home screens or launchers in google play store, I get 2 or 3 that seem good for display on televisions such as this one "TVLauncher". Is this what you are talking about?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awe.dev.pro.tv&hl=en
YouTube leanback... Utorrent...
I'm not sure if apps in one android device can control another android device the way you want... Maybe if the control device runs the app, while the other device to be controlled runs a browser in 'desktop' mode (not Chrome) and browses to an appropriate web address such as youtube.com/leanback or remote.utorrent.com but this seems awkward. So basically I recommend to try a remote control app that is designed for android-to-android control, such as "Tablet Remote".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en
Whatever happens, I recommend to opt-in for HTML5 player in youtube.com/html5 so as to minimize use of Flash player. Otherwise, install Flash player app on all android devices that will play youtube and other online videos.
Cheers.
