I like the idea of HUBS, what HUBS would like to see for WP7?
I`d like to see for example
TV HUB -
Watched recorded TV from Windows Media Center and Slingbox
TV listings
TV Suggestions
Set Remote recordings on SKY BOX
Watch BBC Iplayer, Sky Player, ITV Player etc
Sports HUBS - Cricket, Football F1 etc
Scores,Fixtures,Stats,Betting
Travel info to sports venue
Weather info for sports venue
Team player profiles
News and Gossips
Travel HUB -
Buses and Trains - tickets, timetables, maps cancellations etc
AIR Travel - flight bookings, arrivals, departures
ROAD - Traffic updates, nearest service station, nearest car dealerships
Roadside Assistance, Maintainance Information, Router Planner
ps3 hub please Sony.
I know u wont be able to play games but they could let u:
Look at your trophies
Compare trophies with friends
See who is online
Check what is in the ps3 store
Sent messages to friends
and maybe other stuff i cant think of now
How about a Sony HUB not only playstation games but also Sony Music and Movie content also.
why would the maker of XBOX support PLAYSTATION? makes absolutely no sense.

lots of reasons:
1. Ms does not stop companies making apps even if made by competitors.
2. Sony Ericsson is making wm7 phones.
3. Google makes apps for maps and search for wm which compete with bing.
4. opera etc make browsers that compete with IE.
5. Ms makes ms office for macs & Symbian phones.
makes no sense to stop an hub(app) that would draw in ps3 users into buying wm7 phones (remember smart phones is a lot bigger business than xbox)
I think there's some confusion here. A "Hub" is a "panoramic interface", not the homescreen element like the Games one with the avatar popping up and out. So anyone and their dog can make a hub for their application, including Sony. The same goes for tiles except third parties aren't allowed to make rectangular ones, just the squares, if I'm not mistaken, but the Games one is a square as well. Those can be animated and so on. The takeaway is that Sony can easily make their Sony hub and their live tile if they wish. It was also mentioned more than once that third parties will be able to "hook into" existing hubs/tiles, although I'm not sure what's meant by that.
I think a Playstation Hub would sell millions of phones for Sony Ericsson and would be a way to be different from other manufacturers like LG Samsung and HTC................. Imagine PS2 and PSOne games plus PS Network
PS Network what exactly?
Microsoft did a great job confusing everyone with this XBox integration talk. It's just ability to sign in and upload those stupid achievements, not some magic stuff that will give you Halo on your phone or even ability to save game state between devices.
Also, no hub will bring PS games to your phone. The real purpose of Playstation network is to sell stuff to you, and that won't be possible, you have to use Marketplace. So if PS game developers decide to make WP versions you'll have them. They can also give you the ability to upload your trophies, of course, but you don't need any hub for that, and there's not much Sony can do about it.

Well...MS is trying to push Cloud services. I don't see why this HUB wouldn't push that along for gaming as well. Pushing saved states online to move between games on your phone and xbox as a future option. In a way, achievements can already be used to "save state" in a game if implemented into the game correctly (eg: an RPG where your experience and items are achievements).
I think the HUB will just open up more design space for them to play with their services and products as it relates to the integration between console and mobile.
If Sony makes a phone, they should be able to customize their vendor marketplace. I'm not sure on what rules apply to the vendor though as to what exactly can be sold over their marketplace.
I like these ideas and it's not hard to implement. Even the media center integration can be done in silverlight. For streaming the videos, you would have to write a client that would serve ASP.NET multimedia content (installed on the users MCE box), and, TADA, you are done.

Download SopCast For Android (P2P App To Watch TV Channels Online) -- News via WebUpd8.org
EaseTuner.com/Download (actual website)
Not many familiar channels running right now, but this is still in beta. I'm just doing my part to spread awareness, so that maybe we'll see more common sports/news channels crop up soon.
What is sopcast?
SopCast is a simple, free way to broadcast video and audio or watch the video and listen to radio on the Internet. Adopting P2P(Peer-to-Peer) technology, It is very efficient and easy to use.

Using SopCast, you can serve 10,000 online users with a personal computer and a home broadband connection.

I'll give it a go man!
So could I use this to stream movies and tv shows off of my htpc from anywhere with an internet connection? That would be cool.
Sounds good, Ill try this tomorrow also, Ill post once tested.

That's moreso the idea for this platform... You broadcast whatever, without licensing restrictions, fees, privacy policies. Your own personal youtube, sans google/skynet..
Freedom of speech at its finest, and allows for bandwidth scalability. The more people on stream, the stronger the 'torrent', so no one who wants to watch gets left with a choppy stream since the serving is shared amongst everyone watching.
Also, this: frost wire, Android torrent client & server
http://www.frostwire.com/android?from=fw
I'll note that both this and sop cast were scanned as okay by lookout mobile security app. Might want to parse it through a full scale desktop AV but looks like everything is good here, just be sure to have your IP tables/ hosts/firewall configured before pulling torrent traffic towards your beloved phone.

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.
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.
Best

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.

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.
