So I have Xfinity's TV player app so I can watch on TV shows on demand. Which is kinda funny because ON Demand means you know when you want to. And this isn't really the case. I currently don't have a home WiFi network so it defeats the purpose of the app if I need to be connected to WiFi. I know if you're on Verizon you can stream using 3G/4G and I'm not going to port over to Verizon from T-Mobile just to stream on demand. Is it possible to get the app to stream using data? I tried looking at the files in the apk file but to be honest I don't know what to do with the stuff.

You could just download wireless tether from the market. Works just as well.
I'd upload it for you but I'm not at home. If its not done by the time I get home, I will.

Wifi Tether is adhoc whereas the wireless tethering app acts like a real wifi hotspot connection.

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.
Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

The experimental ones in the website for it are infrastructure I think. The ones in market didn't work for me

Anybody figure a work around for playing xm/Sirius Radio on android smart phones. I have a lifetime membership and can listen to stream via PC but they want me to pay more to stream to phone. Any way to make phone emulate a PC? Wunderadio does not work.

So I assume the answer is no, but is there a modification that would allow the Slingplayer app to work like the Pop-Up video function. It really would make that feature worthwhile, whereas now it is pretty pointless. It would be great to be able to watch live TV while I used my phone for other things.
Thoughts?
Slingmedia would need to release a new version of Slingplayer to make that possible. It would be do-able for them.
Moboplayer was recently updated to add that feature so the capability is not limited to the default media player.

Slingplayer rules. Too bad I'm kinda hesitant to use as much since I lost my unlimited data

Gotcha, I guess that makes sense. I won't be holding my breath for that...
Sling is awesome and its the main reason I urgently needed to keep my unlimited data, but it would be 1,000 times better if it didn't cut off when I tried to switch to something else, or allowed me to watch it while I did other things.
So I was at someone's house and we was browsing pics on hoxl and I discovered in choose player settings in gallery an option to connect to clear.fi . Be inquisitive I connected and soon discovered I was streaming my pics to a pc in the house over WiFi. Kinda cool. I'm gonna study up on it as it is basically a streaming program on the pc. My question is has anyone used this , thoughts on it, and I'm curious how my phone detected clear fi and is this a security issue. Almost seems like a remote desktop media program. I'm just trying to protect my media on my device from being streamed unintendedly....I'm running latest viperxl which I love.

Well i am stuck with this wifi hotspot that i hardly use anymore and i need ideas on how i can start using it again (put it to use). Any ideas on how to repurpose the hotspot for something? I have internet at home and on my phone. The hotspot has a 3.5GB limit.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Could you please elaborate on what you're wanting to get out of the hotspot? I personally see no need of using a hotspot, but if you actually own it, why not use it when you travel?
Using a laptop as a hotspot could save you a few bucks on some cheap hotel WiFi.
Well i was using it when i didn't have a line in place and was just using the hotspot and its under 2 years contract. I have a line now for a while and haven't been using the hotspot but I'm stuck under contract so i want to put it to some use. I don't travel much in terms if long distance so idk about that. I just want to use it in some sort of creative way that makes it useful instead of haven't it sit there powered off.

There really isn't much you can do. A hotspot is a hotspot basically. If you don't travel much, there's really no need for a hotspot. I could see some use if you have some sketchy people and don't want them connecting your internet.
Yeah...... Thanks for your help.

Try checking if you have any friends or family that is in need for it. That way they could cut your cost since it is lying dormant in your possession.
If not, if you place is big you could place the wifi on one end and the hotspot on another.
But as codemonkey98 suggest, your hotspot is a bit redundant if you dont travel, since you have a wifi at home.

You could
a. redeploy it as a dedicated internet entertainment access point for internet TV, movies, music, games and downloads of huge files.
b. use it as a personal video streamer so you can stream videos to the internet so that you can watch them from your phone when you are away from home.
c. use it as a home webcam server so you can see what's going on at home, from your phone. There are multi-channel servers, so you can keep an eye on each room if you wish.
Lots more apps. . .
This way, you can free up the bandwidth constraint on your home internet line.
When travelling, I use McDonald's free WiFi ...
thanks for mobile hotspot idea.I was looking for one.
