I personally use this
m.tvcatchup.com (works for UK residents only)
and is free over 3G or WIFI and plays all the UK free to view channels
Just tried it and yes it works through dolphin. You can change the user agent in the stock browser but only to desktop mode not to HTML5/iPhone setting. Because the website believes you are on either an android phone or a desktop pc when using the stock browser, it tries to use flash to stream the content. Hope this helps

Has anybody found a way to get Logmein working on this phone.
Logging on through their website switches to a specific PDS version which insists on using a verison of flash which this phone doesn't support. The option not to use flash isn't available.
I really need Logmein!

Nice idea! Unfortunately, it doesn't work!
PhoneMyPC is a pretty decent substitute, if you need the functionality in a hurry.
Scrolling is seriously buggy with PhoneMyPc on Desire/N1.
Screen constantly snaps back to where you started and sometimes it gets stuck and won't move at all.
Besides that it works very well, and there are plenty more features on the way.

Is it possible to watch hulu on the evo? If so could you inform me how.....thanks

Nope, Hulu blocks mobile platforms directly. I just tried with my rooted Fresh ROM. No go.
Actually if you're running a 2.2 ROM you can install a hacked flash that allows for hulu access. I do this currently on the cm6 ROM. Check out this thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054

Could you not just change your user agent?
If Hulu ran on my laptop the way it runs on the phone, then i would say it is crap. But i think we need to remember that this is a service that is actively blocked by Hulu. To get it on the phone you have to use a hacked flash apk, then change the user agent and basically trick the browser into thinking you're on your phone instead of the computer.
It's choppy, but its also trying to run more data than the phone was meant to handle, i think. If we had a data stream from Hulu that was desgned specifically for our phones, then i'm sure we'd have better performance.
This is most defenitely NOT my area of expertise, but just an observation.

That may be an issue with your reception. I've been running hulu on my evo for about a week now and it's never been anything short of prestine.

You're right about reception. I live in the edge of town, so not the best 3G. On wifi it was fine. I'm gonna try again at work tomorrow, better coverage there.

I pmed intronauta from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197496 to mod it for our Epic Touch. He sent me this file and instructions. This is for deodexed roms only. Can someone try it and see if this works? I have an odexed rom at this time and didn't want to goto deodexed rom yet since mine is running fine. He said he can make an odex version though.
You must rename /system/app/Browser.apk->Browser.apk.bak and Browser.odex->Browser.odex.bak , put the deodexed version in /system/app and reboot. If it fails and there is a FC, delete data app, wipe dalvik-cache, check permissions in the apk (same as others in the path).
If doesn't work, delete deodexed version and revert the original name for Browser.apk-odex.
Edit: He pmed me back and said it should work on odexed roms also. I tried it and it works. I have the option to choose between Android or Desktop in the settings menu and it sticks after closing the browser.
Have you notified any of the dev's?

I use Opera mobile but the stock browser is faster and smoother than any 3rd party browser I've used including Dolphin. Opera is better than Dolphin imo because it doesn't jump back to the top left of the page when hitting the back button.

I use Dolphin, and have been since my OG Epic. Interestingly, and I've seen this reported elsewhere, on some sites even though I have the user agent set to desktop I still get the mobile version. Engadget for one does this. Not sure why.
Thanks nobrakes. I've been waiting for this since I bought my E4GT.
IMO, people should be hitting the thanks button....instead of posting "Stock browser sucks". Lol

I notice this also with sites that have mobile versions. With Opera it goes to the desktop site though if set to desktop.

I tried this. I now have an option under settings for ua android/desktop but sites still load in mobile. I tried going to about:useragent and the setting still won't stick to anything but custom.
This is the original thread of the BrowserMod for International I9100.

In first post is the source code (diff & files). The xml and smalis related are the same in both systems. Just compare files and build yourself.

Yep. Doesn't stick.
I see what you mean by doesn't stick. I tried going on certain sites and it still went to mobile version. I've been using Opera mobile for a while and didn't run into this issue. I just like how smooth and fast the stock browser is.

There are methods to acquire it. Lucky thing I had mine backed up . Anyways, no, you need to be on the same network as the PC.
I've wondered myself about splashtop HD though I have the standard version cause i couldn't get compatibility on the marketplace for HD but the standard version works sooooo much better then the other methods i've tried I can watch hulu from my tab thats on my computer !!!!!

With the normal version you can be outside your network if you link your home pc and tablet/phone with your google account. It states it will be free for a limited time only though. I've been able to access my computer in MI when I was in TX.
Splashtop HD works fine with the A100 but it isn't meant for any tablet under 8 inches at least thats what the splashtop tech guy told me

It's probably posted around and you can get it from Adobe's site.

I went to their site and got 'We're Sorry. This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device. This content can be viewed on a desktop computer or on mobile devices that support Flash Player.'
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931671
since Flashplayer isn't supported, it's going to be hit and miss. Some sites will work, some won't.
I don't use the stock browser. I use Chrome mainly. When I need flash player, I've had decent luck using Boat Browser. Dolphin supports flash player well, but I couldn't get it to work on the GN2. There's some agruments with Dolphin excessively tracking your information or browser habits, but I haven't kept up on it.
Dolphin did look at other unrelated apps info. I emailed them and they wouldn't respond. Anyways it's not the sites it's the browser. Either it works or it doesn't. Enable flash in the settings file of dolphin if that's what you use. I would imagine it's the same for most browsers.
For me, Dolphin crashed every time I tried to open it. I never loaded on the TF700T. It has been a few months since I read about the Dolphin debacle.
Boat has worked for my needs, which is to use Sirius's radio internet radio via web browser since I'm a grandfathered life time member with limited internet radio access; I'm not able to use the Sirius app without loosing my no extra cost internet access.
