I love my hulu, better price and selection

Pick up an apple TV 2 for 99 bones. Jailbreak it add xbmc and there are plugins which will give you access to more than either can offer at $0 per month. Google is your friend.

Only for 2nd generation? Not the newest ones?

I believe #2 is the newest. The 3rd Gen not out yet. Seas0npass the the jb to use. iOS 4.3 is what you want. Got mine off amazon and came with 4.3 installed. Another option is search eBay. They are selling them pre set up for around 139. Best part is they did all the work for you.

I can do the jailbreak stuff myself assuming I can downgrade if it comes with a higher version. So I'd be able to stream hulu and movies off the internet with plugins for free? Count me in

Hulu is ad central. I'm going to say Netflix wins here.

Netflix runs in every room in my house

Hmmm interesting
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I'd say netflix as hulu is too jam packed with ads for the same amount cost of netflix. Wish I could get the two combined into one minus the ads.

I have hulu but cant stand paying for adds plus their website is a jungle going with netflix all the way

I had to make a choise the other day because I never used both before....
For me it came down to which has the most device support including our phone which has HDMI out to a TV and of course...
Netflix wins in this area....
So long story short....
Netflix...

I have both, when hulu plus works it works great! But the problem is getting it to work (outside of the computer, the LG tv app of Hulu plus has never worked and whenever my ps3 gets an update Hulu plus never seems to work).
Try Hulu plus out, google free month trial hulu plus and they will let you test it for a month free of charge (currently that's where I'm at and I probably won't renew it because of all the issues on ps3/LG tv).

For those looking for other options. This option would require an apple TV in each room you wanted the service but it is a small investment considering you would be able to get rid of all other services including cable or dtv. This would also include getting rid of services like vudu. Enjoy my fellow xda members.
If life was like a box of chocolates wouldn't there be a layout on the inside of the box telling you which are the good ones? Until then use Google.

I use both. Netflix, if it has it, is ad free. But hulu has all the new stuff. If you want first run programming, Hulu is the way to go. If you want movies and archived shows, Netflix.

anyone wanna share a login for my birthday? haha jk. thanks for the input guys but cash flow is not permanent for me

Roku supports plug ins out of the box. Plus it is cheaper for lower models. Also there seems to be sales on Roku on a regular basis. Lower models are not bad though.

Time Warner Won't accept Rooted devices.

So I downloads the Time Warner App and when I press Live Tv this is what I got.
I would post a screen shot but for some reason the forum won't let me.

This is it in a nutshell. Did media content providers not learn ANYTHING from Steve Jobs? Make digital media easy to obtain, and people will pay for it. Make it difficult, and people will obtain it via "other" means. This decision is short-sighted and ignorant in my book.

Most of these apps are that way to get accepted they have to try to get a handle on piracy ,that Is the same with renting movies on play market...non root phones only

They got the app working in the Galaxy Nexus forum...Don't see why it wouldn't work for other devices. Also, I think you must be on 4.0 to stream Live TV.

My wife just told me that google play won't let you watch rented content on rooted devices either. I just gave TWC 1 star. I guess google gets 1 too.

Your wife is correct, it was a big deal when Google movies first came out. Your wife is a keeper by the way.

Need for Speed game not working??

Why does the Need for Speed game link to a website with the date of Oct 30th? Are we not allowed to play it until that day? Makes no sense to me.

I was thinking the same. I figure we will get access on that day. Maybe a free download.

tmobile had no idea
Just got off the phone with tmobile level 2 support and they had no idea about the device coming preloaded with most wanted. He asked if I had receiced a free demo, but after explaining to hik that it was supposed to be preloaded and just not playable to launch date he said he had no idea and offered to give me samsungs number. Lame. I was really looking forward to playing this game without having to pay 7 bucks.

This is so lame. Thought at least a demo would be available for T-Mobile note 2 users.

now on the phone with ea
Ea seems to have no idea either. But im stilk waiting on the line so we will see. Up next is google play store.

I just clicked the link & it's working, now. It downloaded the demo (WiFi only). Sends you to Google Play to purchase the full version.

Lame, I thought it would be free promotion for the note 2 owners but I still have to pay to get full version!

Have you ever seen commercials for the Note 2? Everyone of them clearly stated you only get the first 3 levels for free. No one, not even the website it sent you too before the 30th made it sound like you got the game for free.

Need for Speed game re-instal.

Has anyone been able to download Need for Speed Most Wanted?

Need for Speed Most Wanted was supposed to come preloaded, but only came with a static web page stating it will be available today, 10/30/12. Has anyone been able to download it? It's still showing the same page. It is however available in the play store for 6.99. Needless to say I don't want to pay for it since it was supposed to be free for us Note II users.
Please share if you were able to download it. Thanks

FYI, the "preloaded" version will only allow you to play the first couple of levels. If you want the full game, you will still have to shell out the seven bucks.

Dude...There is NO preloaded game. It's just an Icon that takes to you a placeholder page.

I know, that's why I put quotes around "preloaded"
What I'm saying is what they're going to let us download is just a demo version. It was in the fine print somewhere.

My mistake, it was in an official press release from T-Mobile:
"Only T-Mobile Galaxy Note II customers will have access to an exciting new racing game preloaded on the device, which will include three free levels."
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

You may be right but I do not see any fine-print or reference in the ad.
I tried search their Terms of Service page for keywords "Demo" and "Level" and did not find anything related.

Ill check out Samsung Game hub and report back if it's there.
edit: Not there

3 level demo lol

Better than nothing lol. I mostly play Real Racing 2 HD on my ipad 3. Having a bigger "steering wheel" does make a big difference, but i'd love to get my racing on the note 2 as well ^_^

I just bought it from the play store. Screw Tmobile.

Who is playing this game. I need some SP points in carrer mode. I have login to Orgin and I am looking for some friends: 1adamos

Watchmaker Premium for Free

Watchmaker premium is now free as a part of Amazon's underground program (which means it's really free with no IAPs). Just thought people here would like to know.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Very good app.
Haven't had a watch in some time but i preferred it over faced after the updates.

Many thanks TheSt33v.

unfortunately it seems Amazon provides an outdated and buggy version. Or does date work for you when creating new faces?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app

I have downloaded the apps through Amazon app store. However, for some reason I don't see it in my watch. It seems the watch is looking only for apps downloaded through Play Store. Any hint.
and thanks for the tip.

apply a watchface, after that you should be able to chose it on the watch

There is no location lock, so You just need to have Amazon account with any random adress in USA, then it works in every corner of the world (unlike Prime etc).

Use your fake US account to download free apps, and use your real account to order stuff.

OK, what state has the cheapest taxes lol
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Delaware has no sales tax. But since you're only using the US account for free apps, tax doesn't matter.

I already owned it.
But for my friend downloaded it on his lg g3
Dont remeber wat it was. Or the app didn't open or opened and force closed.
Any how it didn't work.
I happy to have bought it for 1euro on the play store

if you've updated your moto 360 to marshmallow, this version is buggy at best. Updated version, 3.9.7 is on the play store, devs updated it to work with marshmallow

Tax Free
Florida is tax FREE also.

I'm trying to get an answer about this from Amazon chat. Unfortunately, I'm not hopeful about getting an answer, they aren't very good about that.
