I will be away from my television quite a bit this season, and want to know how I can watch some football on the evo. Minus the obvious slingbox, how do you stream live tv to your phone?
Capture card on desktop, VLC as a streaming server. LogMeIn Ignition for controls. Ta-da.
Slingbox. You can control your cable box and watch anything from anywhere. Its what I use when I'm on the road. I highly recommend it.

He was trying to avoid slingbox. The other suggestion looks good to me.
Try justin.tv.

I would love to use slingbox, but thats like a 200+ dollar investment on a phone I already paid a crap-load for.
NFL Sunday Package To-Go.
Goto Directv website and search for it. Nothing else comes close

Yeah but the slingbox will last you years and years without any additional cost. It's a one time fee. You can also watch on your laptop if you have one.
Just set up a slingbox pro hd and couldn't be happier.

Definitely couldnt talk the wife into letting me get the pro since its what 300 dollars. Also, dont really see a need for the HD one since it will mostly be watched on my phone.
I actually found the solo version on Newegg for 156, so I might be picking that up.
Orb is your friend....tv tuner card and access to your mp3 and video collection from one mobile interface. There is an ORB android app but there is no need for it, the web browser works great. Orb has built a nice interface that will scale to multiple mobile codecs. I have been using it for awhile...first had it running for my old nextel blueberry...
yeah but w/out the nfl sunday ticket you can watch 1 or 2 games. with nfl sunday ticket 2-go you can watch any game.
http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/sports/nfl_online_mobile
Tuner card in your PC is the least expensive. I typically use that with Orb but I haven't tried it on the Evo yet. Basically the Slingbox is doing the same thing for more money. It's a capture card and media web streaming device. Basically you can spend $100 on the capture card or $200 on the Sling. It's up to you depending on budget and whether you feel like setting it all up.
you can easily get a slingbox on craigslist used for very cheap, $50 or less easily and its far and away better than any other option suggested unless you get the sunday ticket package.
What is the big deal and price tag?
...
- Streaming Multimedia PC with a Nexus Tag (developer device?!)
- "Social Media"
- awesome looks
- general "hackability"
- $299

I agree, it is a bit of a rip-off in my opinion. It should be roughly half that price. I'd be willing to pay $150-$180 for it. At $300 you can buy a PS3, xbox360 w/ kinect, a Nexus 7 tablet, build a DIY PC and run it as a HTPC, and a slew of other things. $300 is just plainly too much for what it is - but it's made in the good ol USA!

How cares that it's made in USA? it doesn't justify the price tag.

This is ultimately cheaper than buying an AirPlay-compatible A/V receiver and trashing your existing receiver. Also, it's its own Android device, which means in the future you'll probably be able to mod it into a Google TV set top box, and even use it as a gaming device since it has the same GPU as the Galaxy Nexus.
Did you guys even read the specs?

I do. a couple hundred dollars to know that I am feeding my own country's economy versus that of another country is a fair price to pay.

It should have been an Android / Google TV device by itself. Maybe they'll announce some weird integration with Google TV tomorrow. (Tomorrow is keynote 2, don't forget!)

Well i see the the basics and lackluster specs. It basically seems to be a gnex under the hood so if it includes the iva video chips and ti sound chip, even with the par gpu it should be capable. Mostly. Just trying to figure out what it is. Is it.supposed to be a multimedia device where you supply the screen and bumps? I have a ps3, laptop, galaxy nexus and a galaxy tab 7 2 to handle those duties. Albeit my tab is collecting dust. Anybody want to get a great price on a tab? It is rooted.
...
I guess we'll have to wait an see what comes out of the "general hackability" of it. There's no way in hell I'm spending that much just so I can buy all my media from the Play Store. For under $100 I got a Roku and for $3 I got an app that let's me stream video, music, or pics from my phone to the Roku. As for the jukebox functions I can already do that with Subsonic and my PC.
EDIT: And with Subsonic I can also allow my friends with Android devices to choose songs.
well i hope enough xda people buy it and get smacking on it and share their experience. kinda curious still as to how this will change the living room.
hey and did anybody notice that one of the accessories for the nexus q are $400 pair of bookshelf speakers?

Part of the expense is the high quality amplifier in it. I however agree that it better do way more than just stream from the play store with my phone or tablet as a controller to justify a 300 dollar price tag. BUT DAMN IT IS SEXY
It's a $300 bowling ball that will play music and videos from the Google Play store only... but you need your own speakers and TV for it as well.
Yeah, not really sure where they're going with this one.
If it was a proper home media server that allowed you to stream off your Nexus 7 or GNex phone (or your home PC)... then yeah. 300 would be a nice price for the integration.
It has shiny lights and visualizers though!

Only thing that really frosts me about Order and Chaos is that they dropped the subscription charge for IOS users - but not Android.

Only $.99 a month (after November), but shees...

I don't think that is correct about ios. I bought it a while back for ios and it says install on iTunes but it says it's only for 3 months.

Found this thread when I was trying to decide whether or not to buy Order & Chaos.

From what I can gather, it's definitely a great value at 99 cents but the end game is largely cash driven.
So play for fun, but don't take it seriously (grinding) unless you're well aware of the financial commitment that those hours will lead to.

Now I feel bad for spending 6.99 of my credit for this game. Grrrr, we should make xda Guild or something.

I bought this back during the winter .99cent sale. Great game. I have one character at level ~40 and another at like ~20.
It never played on my Transformer right without hacks and tweaks and I got tired of playing on my Galaxy Nexus. My subscription is expired probably and I probably won't renew. Was a fun run though. I played through a few dungeons with some high level guys healing me constantly. Had my fill for .99
I did buy a 6month subscription. I may have time left. Maybe ill try and pick it back up.

Hey man I registered xda just to say I got owned by this, just bought it 3 days ago. With my 25 dollas from Google. I call this game WoW 2 and its worthy of that, my wife leans over and says "you spent 200 bucks to play wow in bed"..."yep".
My user is Krazypickle...add me if you want a buddy.
Im gonna give a short review just because.
Controls I give a 7 and that is partially my tablet touch newbness, they seems to lag a bit or stop working altogether half the time, im also getting some choppyness...not sure if its network or graphic. This game may not be totally optimized from what I can tell. Im gonna connect my ps3 controller....might help?
Graphics = to WoW (slightly off, but pretty much and I feel this is a compliment)
New features is sweet, I feel the rogue is unique....timed stealth, stealth during combat, bonus while stealth, multiple proc possibilities, enertaining for sure. Cant wait to try other classes.
Its super weak, you buy the game then pay a subscription I think? Annnnnnnnd they make it possible to buy gold.....pretty weak in my opinion. Im gonna play without buying gold...makes it more fun anyhow. Just like Rage of Bahaumut, havent spent a dime....getting my ass kicked lol.
Im waiting for my nexus to charge lol

Lol awesome, what server are you on?
Order n Chaos
is anyone familiar with this game, i change roms and now when i try to load the game it loads to the checking license screen then a message appears then asks me to force close it cause it was wasnt responding, anyone know what i can do ? i have purchased the game from the market but its not letting me play an i even tried to contact gameloft but those guys wont help me, all advice is greatly appreciated, theres gota be a work around
You don't have to buy Gold. Gold is just regular in game currency for 1000 silver. I really liked Order and Chaos and went ahead and bought a 6mo subscription (expired now). I grew tired of making it work on my old tablet and gave up on it. My level 40 is a female warrior and I have a lvl20 male archer or whatever. I really like the Archer more. Seems most of the enemies are dead by the time they even walk over to me.
I would focus on your skills. My warrior is a blacksmith and does weapons and armor. It is kind of confusing how you level that up. But how it works is through a weird kind of experience. The more you use your skill the more "skill credits" you have. Then you find your skill master in the big main city. There you can spend your "skill credits" on purchasing various crafts, but don't waste your credits. Instead focus on buying upgraded Master Books (Master II, Master III, Master IV).
Focusing on increasing your skill sets also will pay you very well when you go to sell this stuff. I typically sell the higher grade stuff in the online market for 1-2 gold a piece. You also want to sell stuff like large groups of wool and other stuff that is required for other types of skills because collecting can be a pain. Some people just opt to spend 1-2 gold on a bundle of raw material. Plus you get nothing for selling it at a shop.
There are two people in our household who are at endgame, and neither has had to spend a dime in real world money to advance their character. You *can*, but you don't have to. For example, a lot of people, when they hit 60, spend fifteen bucks on 'rune gear'. It gives them a full set of gear they can effectively run legendaries in. You can get the same gear from lvl60 dungeon runs and from world bosses, though. My son (JackChurchil @ Swamp of Wyrms) is actually buying his rune set for his archer tomorrow.
I've got a lvl42 healer monk hybrid ( Daede @ Swamp of Wyrms ) that already has a full set of world-drop gear sitting in storage waiting for me to hit the levels where I can wear them, including a really nice lvl51 healer tunic, that is actually better than the rune-gear healer robe.. It's all stuff Orion (JackChurchil) picked up on his way to 60 or while doing dailies at 60...
My brother, Ben, has a 60 Warrior tank ( WoopAss @ Swamp of Wyrms ), and has no real intention of buying rune gear. He's got a rare tanking sword, a real nice rare shield, and a decent set of collected-it-along-the-way tank gear, all with no real money investment other than the game itself.
Legendary runs use a system called 'exhaust', and while you can use runes (real money) to replenish your exhaust, it also replenishes automatically on a daily basis. A typical legendary run costs between 9 and 17 exhaust, and you have 100 to spend per day, so unless you literally sit n the game and no-life it *all day*, you most likely won't see a reason to consistently spend money.
You can spend money to craft, but on the server we play on (being very low population) you really don't need to. The bosses that drop the crafting mats you can buy with runes aren't actively farmed, so there's a good chance you can get what you need.
Just my two-cents. If anybody is interested in playing with us, we are:
Guild: All.6's.and7's
Server: Swamp of Wyrms
Officers:
Me (Jay): Daede (monk) / Machine (warrior) / Daena (ranger) / Isis (mage)

LOL I know! Seems like its everyone deems someone that asks a noob or lazy...
I've been looking for this too! Tried Zenonia, its kool but the 3rd and 4th are pay to play, in game unlockable for cash :/ why is it becoming a tendency?
One thing I've been searching is for a good tactical RPG like Ogre Battle or Final Fantasy Tactics, the closest thing I've found is Spectral Souls and it's $14.99 Reason I haven't bought it yet, thanks to the new 15min limit rebate, I won't know if it's really that good to keep or if I don't run into problems during the download of the extra 1.5GB of data
A good hack/slash RPG is Caligo Chaser, it's $2.99 but worth it. Good controls and decent continuous story line, played it non stop for days.
Another one is Across Age DX, it's a free trial and unlock once you finish the intro phase. The developers compare it to Zelda, but for me it's more like Wild Arms 1 gameplay. They are very similar, tools and co-op with party members. The story seems good so far and the dialog is well put together too. Haven't unlocked it yet, but I will once I clear out some minor debt...
How's Battleheart working for you? Just saw the vid and it seems really good, somewhat a rip off the old FF jobs though :/ Noticed what seemed like Paladin, monk, white mage, dark mage, etc -___-
Edit - I haven't installed any EMUs yet due to onscreen controls being uncomfortable for me, huge hands... I'm considering getting the PS3 control adapter for the phone and use that. forgot what it was and didn't bookmark the site *facepalm*
Kemco makes several that are pretty cheap ($3~4 last I checked). Eve of Genesis and Symphony of Eternity just to name two of them. Gamevil makes one or two. I have Illusia from them. Also downloaded Inotia3 (which is free) a couple of days ago, but I really haven't touched any of them with the exception of Symphony of Eternity.
Like you I've eyed the Final Fantasy games, but I'm not paying that much. Spectral Souls has been on my list too, but again... Not paying $15 for it.
Problem with the free ones is that they're free to play, but to get anything worth getting you have to pay for it... as you know from Zenonia.

The problem with the 15 min is you can't really judge an RPG in 15 min!!! It takes way longer, especially if they have intros/tutorials.
I haven't played Battleheart in a while but I like it......didn't really have a story though. Maybe I did and missed it.
As far as EMUs I haven't been able to gague my phone's battery life at all because I spend almost an hour a day playing Pokemon LeafGreen lmao. My coworkers think I'm nuts now. I paid the $4.99 for VGBA and I have to say it was worth every dime. Especially since I figured out how to transfer my files to the PC and trade with other EMU saves......after I finish up with Pokemon I'm probably going to play Golden Sun which I never got around to but heard is great.

I've been considering the DS and flash cart, it's dead cheap. But my better half is most likely going to get the 3DS and it can use the flash card too, but not for 3D games, yet that is.

I'd get the SuperCard DSTWO for the 3DS. It's like $40 depending on where you get it from. There are cheaper ones but from what I know this is the only one that is constantly working as the 3DS firmware upgrades come in.
AND get the PSP lol. The PSP is worth it just for being able to play Final Fantasy 7-9 in my opinion.

Thanks, I'll have that in mind for when they get the 3DS.
As for me, spoke with a friend and he might be able to build a PSP from parts he has lying around, he repair them on the side. I settled on the psp

Lucky you. I had a PSP a while ago that I had modded but I wound up selling it because I didn't really use it at the time. I wish I had kept it. From looking on EBay/Craigslist I think people are wayyyy overpricing their 3000's.
you don't really need an adapter to use ps3 or wii controllers. They both use Bluetooth and their are neat apps for connecting them, remapping buttons ect....

I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself

if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)
if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.
Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.
But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9659/how-to-install-and-setup-windows-home-server/ (WHS is another fave, even though they dont "make" it anymore, it can still be found, and is a stupid easy way to "get started" in servers if you're comfortable in the Windows environment, I always recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to get into command line *nix kinda stuff, just wants to play around with a functional and easy way to have a server, works great, and completely instantly compatible, obviously, with any Win based PCs at home.)

Good Luck!
I use Remote Media Center from the play store. In conjuction with remote potato server app running on your home computer to serve your media. RMC will utilize MX player to handle the video playback on your phone. (Install MX player). I've been using this setup for almost a year no problem. I've got tons of video and pictures, music I don't need to carry with me.

I downloaded this after seeing your post and have watched every new movie from 2012 I'd wanted to see but wouldn't pay $20 to go sit in a theater full of morons crunching popcorn, slurping soda, texting, talking and making my night miserable what a waste. I haven't been to a theater in 2 year's or so cause of that crap. Price is too high to go watch a movie that you miss half of from the rude idiots acting like they're sitting on their own couch and didnt just pay a small fortune to be there. I can't quite figure out why the prices have gotten so high its not like the theaters have gotten any nicer or more private. I could see a price increase if they weren't packing 200+ people in a 150'x150' room im seats where you're practically sitting on each others lap.

it's basic economics. wherein a business is not considered successful unless there is measurable Growth in profits to show to investors every year. (ie: "how can we squeeze more money from our customers while bringing production costs down/delivering less, and do it better than last year?") theaters have become the worst experience you can have for $15, hands down.
if it wasn't for IMAX, i wouldn't go to theaters at all. even then, at home i've got excellent surround sound, 55" screen. and i get to take pee breaks. and i make way better snacks than Regal. (you haven't lived until you've had my open-faced chopped steak and provolone sandwich)
and people wonder why i'm a verified, unrepentant, and proud pirate. over 700 movies in my collection, and counting. (not to mention TV seasons... and hundreds of thousands of songs...) that's why I maintain a robust server in my basement. any bit of my media collection is accessible by any terminal in the house.
call me a hypocrite if you like, but i never pirate software. and verbally slam those that do. *shrug*
Why would they have an app that allows for not so legal activity in the play store?
Questions like this is why they get pulled........ shhhhhh

Its internet connection is blocked by AdBlock and after I opened it it placed another app shortcut on my homescreen "Aplicaciones". No thank you. Looks fishy. Uninstalled.
Worked fine for me with adblock and no shortcut created. Checked out with several phone and pc based av progs too.
