Can you get Freeview tv on the desire?
If so how do you get it?
I have unlimited Internet with T-Mobile
You can get an app called Beebplayer, which is all of the BBC Channels, and Radio station, plus the have catchup on there too.
As for full freeview, I don't think we'll get that until Flash 10.1 is available to us, the you should be able to use the TVCatchup.com services on their website.

Talking of which, I read on their forums that there was talk of an Android app/version/something but with now ETA to date.
Nope - to receive Freeview the phone would need a DVB-T receiver and decoding chip, and it has neither. It maybe be possible to stream some of the Freeview channel in various ways (flash through the web browser, or with apps like beebplayer), but its not really the same. A slingplayer app could possible achieve this too (again by streaming the channels, but in this case from your own TV/PC etc), though I doubt if there is one for Android yet.
An external freeview tuner would be great, but I'm not holding my breath.
mobile tv
I think you better use this one is BEST
http://www.yamgo.com/watch-mobile-tv.html
It is designed for windows mobile
or see the other post about TVCATCHUP.COM, they now have a bigger tv stream compared to YAMGO and also better quality.

I find that TVCatchup doesn't really work too well. but Yamgo is fine.
YMMV of course.

I'm looking to purchase another Amazon TV that's already preloaded with extras. There's so many people doing it I don't know who I should go with...?? I've looked at them on eBay some are going for $200 others less and one guy says this guy is copying me the other guy says that guy is copying me an back-and-forth. So I'm looking for some direction. Any recommendations for A preloaded Amazon TV? I don't want all of the adult channels and porn channels or whatever you call it loaded on to it. I don't know if I can customize it so they are not there....
Also with all those "free" movies and TV shows and such can you get in trouble with your Internet provider or whatever like the DMCA and get notices from your using such features as all of these add-ons that are provided?
I had gotten A notice in my e-mail from Comcast once when I downloaded something I didn't know about. Just wondering if that can happen again a notice of copyright infringement

Just buy a regular AFTV somewhere and follow the steps in the link. You get XBMC/Kodi with pretty much everything you could ask for and with the tool mentioned in that link you don't need to be a rocket scientist to install it on your AFTV
http://www.tvaddons.ag/install-kodi-amazon-fire-tv/
And if you are scared to get caught watching movies or tv shows like this, don't do it. It depends on the laws of your country how they treat people that don't really download content but stream it (which is basically downloading).
It looks like a massive amount of customization when i look at what some of the pre programmed ones have on ebay??? At least when you look at the options they give you on the pre programmed amazon TVs. I basically would want the live TV, hbo and some movie channels I don't really need the most current movies like the handy cam versions I would rather see it in HD and I would not like any of the porn channels LOL not interested in that.
Thanks for the link! I'll read through it and see what I can do. I don't remember if I mentioned it I already have have an Amazon TV with XBMC on it but it's the Gotham version. I was trying to get it so it would recognize my silicone dust network tuner but couldn't get that to work. I have to work on it more yet... I also was trying to get my synology NAS recognized so I can share the files I do have on it but was having trouble with that as well... I'll figure it out eventually just wish it was sooner than later. Thanks for the advice I'm going to give it more of a go. i still am interested in those pre set amazons as an option. but ill work on mine too!
thanks again!

I also have hdhomerune prime there is many ways to watch live tv,my provider is fios and I will need to learn how to use the PVR addon for xbmc but I saw it works great!
If you have an HDHomeRun you probably want to setup a PVR backend for watching live/recorded shows through XBMC/Kodi. It's not too difficult but you need (or probably highly desire) to set this up on a computer that is always on. Here is a good place to start: http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend
As for which pre-loaded FireTV to buy - none of them. Spending $200 for a $100 device is a waste. There are plenty of great guides and videos to help you set it up however you want, just ask here or on an XBMC/Kodi forum or do a bit of googling to get started. You are going to want to know how to do it yourself anyway to keep up on updates, side-load different apps, and generally set-up your device the way YOU want it. Once you go through it the first time and have an understanding of it all it's easy.
I have to agree with skeptic_always and Ultraschorsch, Buying a plain FTV and installing yourself is very easy.
You mentioned you already have XBMC, download TVMC and install it. It won't overwrite your XBMC, it will load as a separate app and it will install many addons when first started... probably the same addons Ebay sellers are installing for that $100 premium.

It has a lot of tweaks, repos and plugins installed by default. You pretty much just start it and you are good to go.
thanks all Very cool! I have TVMC installed and it's working! I am having trouble with my PVR. I would've liked to have conneted it wirelessly but not sure if thats the problem or what. I am only 10 feet away from my router wouldve thought wifi is fine. I had set up Live TV viewing before but maybe I did not do it correctly?? When I go to live TV then TV channels I get a listing of TV channels that I'm guessing is from my silicone dust TV tuner. When I select the channel it shows me what is on the channel but it does not play. Also it does not show me that HD stations abnormal TV such as ABC, Fox, NBC and such. It goes from 1 to 541. On my Comcast it goes all the way up to the 800s I believe and that's where the HD stations are. Even when I select channel 3 which is not HD but regular prime channel I guess it does not display it just sticks. Also, it's mind-boggling how many things there are for the TV MC.
Is there a list for guide for installing the best channels or whatever you call it such as these below. . . . Really wouldn't want channels that are just crappy like. My ultimate goal would be at a set when these and make it easy enough for my parents to use and get rid of cable TV which I'm not sure my parents will ever learn LOL
HBO Entertainment, HBO 1, HBO 2, Disney XD, HGTV, National Geographic,
Discovery, TNT, Fox, Fox 11, Sky Movies, Comedy Central, The CW, USA Network,
Spike, Cinemax, Animal, History HD, Food Network, A & E, FilmOn, Animal Planet, BIO, CNN,
Comedy Net, The Country Network, AMC, Fox Movies, Fuel TV, FX, NBC, RMC Top 40, TLC, TNT, Toons, TruTV, NASA, Starz HD, Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science, Bite TV, Bravo, CBS, ABC, ABC Family, NHK World, SYFY, TLC, BBC HD, iTV 2, iTV 3,GM Channel, Fox 2 Detroit, Film HD, icefilms, 1channel, ..........
I definitely don't want the adult channels on it but I do want live TV which I'm still trying to get my PVR running. I'm probably not doing something right. I will keep trying.
Also I read somewhere that the new Amazon fire TVs you can't jailbreak or put XBMC on it? If that's the case where's the best place to buy another one that I can customize before they become too scarce?
Thanks in advance again

The fire TV should ALWAYS be able to have XBMC put on it, no need to worry.
As far as all those channels you'll just have to do a search for those (i.e. "XBMC Discovery", XBMC "TNT", etc.) ustvnow.com gives you 6 channels free and if you want more there's a minimal charge. There's a repo(sitory) named Superrepo which when installed gives you hundreds of possible addons, I'd be surprised if you don't find everything you need in there.

What's that matter? Are you saying that because with new firmware you cannot load all the add-ons? Just curious...
User "wqwrqrfq" stated that you should always be able to load XBMC and add-ons.
One question for everyone... How long should it take to load certain Channels? By the way am I calling whatever each connection or option you can select right? Are they called something else? Just want to make sure I'm referring to it right. Also originally I had my Amazon TV connected on Wi-Fi but I know wire would be better. I connected by way of ethernet but it still takes A minute or more sometimes to load. Is that normal? Is that because of processing power from the Amazon TV or connection speed? I get about 30 to 40 Mb per second on my Internet connection.
thanks in advance

Thought someone had asked above where you could still buy one that can be rooted.
Oh okay. you don't have to root the Amazon fire tv to put XBMC on it right? What is the benefit of rooting it?
Change launchers, remove crap, edit system files, install google play store, etc
You can install most apks by sideloading via abd and the ip address. It plays emulators surprising well.
Just found out some apps that I didn't know about, so I will share because they work perfect on the Fire TV.
First it's LiveTV from various channels live Fox, Showtime etc. Go to Mobdro.com website and grab the apk. Play around with it most channels are 480p but it's free. Works inside and outside the US.
Second is CartoonHd which is like Showbox or PopcornTime but is limited. Most movies and cartoons here are 720p and 1080p. Download the apk at CartoonHdapk.com
Hope these apps help. If you have more movie or TV apps that you can share please let me know.
If links don't show up, check the url on the screenshots posted.
Both apps work with the stock remote.
Mobdro has been around for a while. Its basically just filmon, but the only good thing about it is that it has all the UK channels that are missing/geoblocked from all the other filmon apps. To get the UK channels on filmon you have to have a subscription to UK TV or satalite service, but mobdro has them for free. They can be found all over the internet too, but its always good to have an app.

Not really similar, but if you're a sports fan, "World Sport Streams" is a great app for streaming HD sports channels. The links are auto updated. I have actually had channels stop and 10 seconds later a new link would be posted, so its a great app. You have to install MX Player and XMTV Player, cause some streams work with MX and some work with XMTV. It says to install MX and OXY players, but I think they stopped using OXY Player for their streams and switched to XMTV Player, but haven't got around to changing what it says on the app. It has a few TV channels too that are not sports related, all the sky movie channels.

Does not work with the fire tv. It shows sideways for me on half the screen
it works. however, currently need a mouse to fullscreen the video, the remote works everywhere else in the app. i have already requested that they fix in a future update, as well as show more titles on the selection screen., more should do the same, since it is new and in active development it will likely get fixed, the more of us that ask should also help.

Figured I would make a thread so people could tell others what apps they are using for Live TV streaming. My favorites are "World Sports Streams" "Mobdro" and "Live Stream Player". Mobdro basically has all the Filmon streams, plus a few other streams, but the good thing is that all of the UK streams are not geo blocked like they are on most other Filmon streaming apps. World Sports Streams is great for good quality sport streams and it gets updated frequently. Live Stream Player does not list the streams, but instead lets you search for streams. If you wanna watch a channel just search for it and all of the stream that have that name will popup. Feel free to post your favorite apps for live TV streaming. Please do not include XBMC/Kodi, cable or satalite apps, or official channel apps like HBO, cause people already know about those apps. This is just for Live TV streaming apps that people may not know about.

Do you mean "Mediahhh"? Mediahhh is a great app for the UK channels from Filmom, but it never has all the UK channels, but the best feature is that it has a guide for each channel so that you know whats on now and whats coming on. Do not to list apps that have geoblocked content, cause most of your apps can only be watched with UK IPs. Also, only list apps that have free content that do not require a subscription.
Hey Guys,
Eliot here CTO at Mediahhh, I just wanted to come and say that I'm glad to see you talking about Mediahhh, just to let you know were adding more content as soon as we can, as well as loads of cool new features, Chromecast Support for instance is only just around the corner now, and we hope to have that released very soon. And support for even more platforms than the current Windows, OSX and Android.
Anyway if you have any feedback about the app let us know as we're always looking to make it the best it can be.

Thanks for noticing. I really like your app. I know I ranked Mobdro ahead of your app, but its not because I do not like your app, its because the Mobdro app has all the Filmon UK channels and your app doesn't. Thats the only reason, but your app is better in every other way. Your app probably has the best UI of any noncommercial live streaming app that I have found. I love how I can watch and still navigate through the app at the same time. Plus the guide is a great feature that not many noncommercial apps have. I also like that all your links work. Its not just a bunch of useless links like a lot of other apps. I only use Filmon for the UK channels. You said you are gonna add more channels, are they going to be more Filmon channels or from a different source? Is it only going to be more UK channels or from other countries too? Maybe you could add Sky Sports and the WWE Network.
Mobdro crypto mines now. Avoid like the plague.

No such thing as Mobdro Plus.
There was a Mobdro Premium but they did away with that for Freemium that is ad revenue based.

A lot of the apps listed are UK Based and require a VPN. Also World Wide Sports looks like it hasn't been updated in 5 years. Anyone else got suggestions ? Even very good Kodi plugins would be appreciated.
Hi All.
the purpose of this thread is to combine all the information we have about watching Live TV on our devices.
I'm purposely avoiding Kodi addons, they seem to come and go due to their questionable legality, and it's a hassle to keep up, there are already multiple webpages discussing them.
here goes nothing.
Proper Live TV
1) Android TV Live channels
it's in my opinion the best way to watch TV on Android TV devices, the necessary framework, but does not seem to be popular at this stage
2) NHK World app.
NHK world is a fantastic app to watch NHK World TV, recently made Android TV compatible, it does not yet integrate to Live Channels, I have sent NHK an email requesting for this, but have not heard back.
If you support this, please send them an email, the more the merrier.
3) Cumulus TV.
This app allows you to manually enter HLS streams into Live channels, it's got great potential (if you have some HLS streams) but it does not work properly at this stage. developer is working on fixing it.
If you have any HLS streams or m3u8 links, please contribute.. if this takes off make we can share json files.
4) Mediahhh
App for UK Live TV channels, works great, not available in the play store, does not integrate with Live channels unfortunately. emailed them but no response.
Semi Live TV
1) Pluto TV.
Great app, makes channels from youtube sources, and integrates to Live channels. try it!
2) Haystack TV
Has a few Live USA channels, doesn't integrate with Live channels.
3) Class6ix news
Has news channels tailored to your location, I believe it works in US, UK and AUS
thats about it from me..
anyone?
Just wanted to point out that the current version of CumulusTV from the play store (1.4.10) as you mentioned doesn't work.
It has been fixed for a week now with the release of version 1.5.1
Two options to get the latest release is either sign up for beta's on the play store by just visiting this link:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.felkertech.n.cumulustv
OR, get the latest compiled APK direct from github and sidelaod it

There are a bunch of apk's floating around here's a link to some http://justnewtech.com/android-apk/
The best way to watch live tv for me is through kodi. There are a bunch of free addons-Castaway,DNA TV etc. They are pretty stable. If you want something that's really stable try DEXTER TV in kodi. The pro version cost about 5 bucks a month and has 390 live channels in HD.

Hi there.
thanks, most of these are for on demand watching.
what I'm looking for is live TV.
some are "live TV" basically just point to an HLS stream from somewhere on the internet, but the selection of streams is very poor.
ccloud is one of these addons that is supposed to be the best atm, but it has gone downhill to the point of being unusable.

Mobdro ( has ads)and Husham ( no ads) live tv apk are live tv apps. Hushams app has 600 channels.
Most people know that kodi addons go up and down however Dexter is the most stable. 5 bucks a month for 390 channels ( most in HD) is cheap. The "donation" is for the equipment to keep the channels going. Other IPTV services charge alot more. I don't know of any other live TV apps that are free!!! apert from the first two apps I mentioned, but they only stream in SD. I'm not affiliated with Dexter but so far that's the most stable source I've found. BTW there are way better addons than cCloud.
Cheers.

The "donation" is for the equipment to keep the channels going. Other IPTV services charge alot more. I don't know of any other live TV apps that are free!!! apert from the first two apps I mentioned, but they only stream in SD. I'm not affiliated with Dexter but so far that's the most stable source I've found. BTW there are way better addons than cCloud.

Do they integrate with the Google Live Channels app? After testing some of the ones listed in the earlier directory I can say most of the ones I tried not only did not integrate, they did not work half of the time or required the use of a touchpad or airmouse simply to navigate around. Disappointing.

Yeah, I agree with you, very dissapointing.
Although, we can sort of expect this of some dodgy app, but for mainstream apps, this should not happen. It's not that difficult to change the app for proper Android TV controls, and Live channels. they probably can't be bothered due to the low user base.

Hi Sumer.
yeah, ccloud is very poor, but are there better addons for Live TV?
Dexter is a netflix kind of service, not Live TV..

You can cast the apps from your phone. The Husham app and mediahhh work with the shield remote. You're more than welcome to find other apps and post them.

There are a bunch of apk's floating around here's a link to some http://justnewtech.com/android-apk/
The best way to watch live tv for me is through kodi. There are a bunch of free addons-Castaway,DNA TV etc. They are pretty stable. If you want something that's really stable try DEXTER TV in kodi. The pro version cost about 5 bucks a month and has 390 live channels in HD.

Dexter has been down for a bit now. I cannot log on or retrieve my password. I even tried to create a new account and the system will not allow me because it says my account already exist but when I try to retrieve my pw it says no active account

You should bring that up in the FB group or email them. Are you using DEXTER PRO? The regular Dexter(non pro) will be down for a awhile. Like any other addon there is sometimes a server overload however the Dexter team is good at getting it( pro version) up an running quickly. Clean your cache in kodi that may help.
LWS, UK turks, Channel Pear, Ares streams, Khaoz live tv and Navi X have live TV channels. Not every channel works but you can save the ones that do to your favorites.

Dang that sucks. I remember i had some issues in the beginning.I think i had to register through their webpage (not the FB) then it worked after that.
Anyway there is a custom kodi build called the Gears of War and Gears of War TV. It has live tv channels that are exclusive to the build. it's free this offers some good stuff. The build is being released later tonight. Oh it gets updated at least once a week sometimes twice so the channels are pretty stable.

for live channels
seems it will only sync with haystack and pluto
anymore that yall know of that will work with Live Channels?
There's a few apps for the HDHomeRun devices. I forget the names since I quit using them when I sold my old HDHomeRun. The cool part with the HDHomeRun is that it would let you watch any cable channel (You could also use an antenna) you have including DRM ones playback in Live Channels. There's also PuppetMaster.TV which has news from around the world and some live streams from the International Space Station. The Weather Network which gives you nationwide weather reports but shows your local weather on screen overlaid on top of it. Bloomberg and Haystack TV both support Live Channels now as well.
