I'm looking at dumping my satellite service and finding a subscription service over the phone. As long as I have CNN and Fox Soccer Channel, I'm happy. Any good ones out there?
Also, if there are good ones over the computer, give a shout!
I dont know your mean,but i often use SPB TV on my 9100 and PC

They seem to have a lot of live tv channels, movie previews and other streaming videos.
check out orb.com and this thread which has a bunch of streaming links. live TV on HSDPA
i jus got the dash and was wondering is ther n e way 2 get tv on it without havn cable/satellite at home. really im soo jealous of every1s dash..like can someone help me pimp mine out =[
u need tcpmp player and/or blue ray to watch streaming video. i havent done it yet cuz i dont really use web on mine, but i dont think its that big of a deal cuz its kinda laggy of the ones ive seen. but if u really want it that bad, get wifi running on ur dash and look for web sites that have streaming video, like youtube or cnn.
congrats on getting the dash and not going main stream and getting the curve. once u know how to use the dash, its so much fun using it for just bout everything on a smartphone.
well, first thing u wanna do is to update ur rom to 'kavana.rickywytt.080330'. i know theres a lot of reading but u have to so u dont brick ur new dash. after u do that then come back to this in a few days. thats what i would do. thats what i did when i got my dash a month ago. well, my 1st update was the brightpoint 1.33. anyways this is the best time to get a dash so much fun!
I would suggest not upgrading the rom until your used to the phone.
Also for streaming TV, you can try MobiTV, they have some live TV feeds, also Vtap is great for Youtube.
For radio Live365 is awesome.
You can also go to www.orb.com to get some internet TV stations and also stream your own media from your PC to your phone. The software is free.

Orb is a little quirky sometimes, when it works it's great, when it doesn't, you find out you recorded 6 hours of PBS pledge drives.
Seriously, I've used it, it works pretty well.

Well since he stated that he didnt have cable or satellite at home...it'd really suck buying a TV tuner and hooking up a pair of "rabbit ears" to it or having to buy a DTV tuner. Which is why i stated internet TV channels / vs. the need for a PC Tv tuner..even if the Internet channels are a bit limited and not localized
I want to be able to watch TV on the phone, I have BBC I Player but every time I try to open it the program tells me I have to connect via wi fi, is there software which will allow me to be able to watch TV channels away from home at all ?
Cheers guys

myplayer is your friend

Mplayer
Mplayer is one of the best bits of software you can get for your Touch IMHO. Better quality video streams as well.
You can also try SPB TV.Really cool!
Also : the channer , web TV, and of course you can open many mms streams with your media payer
Another option is a Slingbox Pro and Slingplayer for WM. Although not free to buy there are no other monthly fee's after initial purchase as long as you have a good data bolt on. I couldn't do without mine. Love it!!
I am new to Android & would really like to us my A7 to access both online hosted Streaming Video (movies & TV shows) as well as host my DVDs on my internal network.
I had hoped to use Netflix but research on the web indicates that isn't a go on Android without newer, possibly embedded hardward based, DRM solutions. I did see a post about Amazon and RockPlayer but not really much else to go on.
Can people reply and indicate what are the best Streaming Video sites (& client being used to access those sites) for the A7? If you need to use one for movies & one for TV shows please list multiple...
Can people also reply with more insight on how they are hosting & consuming their own DVD collections? Specifically I would like to know:
What did they use to rip their DVDs?
Where do they host them (off a PC? a NAS?, etc)?
What client do they use on the Android A7 to access them?
What protocol (NFS?,CIFS?,SFTP?,etc) does the A7 use to access their DVDs?
For reference I have multiple options available to me at home inclucing RedHat Enterprise Linux & a few other flavors, Win 7, Win XP, and a central NAS device.
tv shows
for tv shows I like (tv shows stream) from the market
Playon seems to work well for me and it will let you stream Netflix and other sites kinda expensive 5amonth or 80 for a lifetime.

When I get back from Spring Break I want to try Playon. I don't like the idea of another subscription but it seems really flexible. It might also allow me to watch Hulu through my bluray player (which stopped supporting it) so that is a big plus... Being able to centralize all of that to a central computer and shoot it to my TV, laptop, and Android A7 would be great.
The Netflix.apk is available as beta for Android. I installed on my A7 and can manage my account, queue and search. When I launch a live stream of instant movies it says can not connect to Netflix servers please try again.
My research is that they won't allow netflix to natively run on Android without some Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities (currently too open) built into. Some Android device makers may be releasing some newer models that allow for this and the native netflix should work for them but maybe never for us if it is a hardware based implementation...
That being said, the Netflix over playon seems to be working OK for me as I went ahead and set it up before traveling for Spring Break... Both Netfilx & hulu worked fine on my home LAN and was working OK on my hotel WIFI for a few hours but isn't for some reason right now.
I need to replace my home router so that I can take the current router with me as it turns my 3g/4g USB device into a personal portable WiFi (kinda like a geeky MIFI). Currently that router uses both my DSL & USB cellular data card together at home and I didn't have time to do that before I left and if I took it with me my home would have been down and I wouldn't be able to serve playon from home while traveling...
Tv.com also works well on these devices

So I've been looking for an OnDemand type streaming service for my phone to so I can connect it via HDMI to my TV and skip the cable companies all together. I found this TmobileTV app which looks promising, but that has a monthly fee. I'm not looking for live television, just something with a program guide that can access streams from Comedy Central, ABC, Food Network, etc. These networks broadcast their own content for free on their webpage, or even have apps, but of course you have to navigate to them and install a bunch of apps if you want to use it this way. I've used a Roku before with PlayOn and it somehow aggregates all of the popular web-shows and puts them in a nice channel guide for you so you can pick and play what you want.
Does anyone know of anything like this for android? Remember, I dont care about LIVE tv, I just want a nice convenient way to watch online of streams from various broadcasters.
UPDATE: Looks like Hulu+ is the only answer.
netflix? or that doesn't have tv shows? been awhile since i used netflix
