Im having second thoughts installing showbox. Is it legal to watch/download?
It is legal, although might be a grey area of unethical. copyright infringement would come into play by downloading and reposting for others to see. It is not illegal to view copyrighted material. It is illegal to download and post or sell.
Thats how I understand it. I could be wrong.
In short, no. It's not allowed on the forums for copyright reasons. Streaming may be allowed, but downloading is not, regardless of intent to share, unless you pay for it. I'd steer clear of it to be safe.
Crystal clear. Thank u
Whats the difference between streaming it and downloading it if the only way to watch it on a TV is to download it since I have an older android device and chrome-cast to screen will not work on it?

You can almost look at it this way, if you are not paying for it its illegal (in most cases).
When it comes to streaming and downloading:
Streaming you are watching/listening to media on a device like a tablet that is being sent to you from another device such as a media server.
Downloading you are keeping/saving the file a specific location to which you can do with it as you please.
Hope this helps.

Not sure how I haven't heard of this. I usually stick to downloading but this is interesting. Already found a lot of content I like.

I felt the same way! Some good content for sure!
What if I download to watch without buffering and then delete it?

Hi all,
First off, check out this site I was turned on to
(Go to it on a PC though to see how it works...)
www.tv-links.co.uk
It's a TON of tv shows/movies that you can stream for free.
Click on a show... any show, and see how it opens a new IE window and streams. This is where I'm a little hazy on what's happening. I'm not sure what's going on "Html-code-wise" to know why it won't work on my Tytn.
I've tried PIE and Opera, and set them both to be recognized as a desktop, but nothing will stream the content. It does open a new window, but then nothing happens. I'm doing this over HSDPA so I don't think speed is the issue at all.
This would be a great site to be able to get to our Tytn's. Can anyone figure out how to do it, or at least tell me what is happening that is not yet supported by mobile browsers?
the flash player in WM6 is not the full fledged desktop application to my knowledge. this website utilizes some Flash 9 components that just aren't in the mobile version. (again, to my knowledge).

And this is truly a shame. I had tried months ago to view ComedyCentral's Jon Stewart clips, to no avail...for the same reason.
I wonder how long it's going to take for Adobe to give us something for WM devices that works with the new security features they've built into the newer desktop versions.

Hmmm ... Flash Player Mobile, eh? I DL'd the trial, and I'll check it out with Jon Stewart tomorrow.
Thank you VERY MUCH! I hope this works, Diem! If it does, I owe you a beer or two.

[UPDATE] OK, I installed the Flash Player Mobile app this morning, and have tried to view the ComedyCentral videos. FWIW, I still cannot view them. The site still comes up only with links to upgrade my Flash Player wherever a link to a video should be. There does not seem to be any way to DL the flash files to play them locally.
Maybe I'll browse through that second URL left by Diem, and see if I can find anything there that works.
FWIW, I left a Q with Comedy Central, explaining the issue and asking if they would/could do anything to support us users with WM devices ... maybe provide an alternative media format that will work with our devices. I'll post back to this thread if/when I hear back from them.
Also FWIW, I did NOT try to view the URL provided by the OP ... so maybe he's finding success with this app.
Sorry Diem ... no beers for you yet [/UPDATE]
so I am to understand that the flash player that comes with WM6 now is the Macromedia (Adobe) Flash ActiveX 7.0 for Pocket PC, and this mobile version does not rely on ActiveX?

Ahhhh, but THAT deal was only good if I got to view Jon on my Hermes. As it didn't work, you'll have to be happy with H2O
So if you want a glass, come on over, I've got a whole tapful
Seriously, I wish Adobe would catch us up with their desktop offerings, or some of these video sites would post in a format we could use.
Oh well ... it is what it is. I've already got plenty of other stuff that works fine, and keeps me using my device for more hours in the day than is good for me.
-pvs
I don't think the videos shown on the tv links site that I posted have anything to do with Flash. Dapzmob was probably the closest by calling Divx. Hope you guys figure out your Jon Stewart stuff nonetheless.
In anyone knows of a player that can play Divx AND integrates with PIE through a plugin, please let me know!
Anyone know of any working youtube downloaders? Seems the ones I have used in the past are all pulled from the market (Freedi was best but they went all Chinese or something ....Youtube Ripper is gone also..along with another one I used whos name escapes me atm)
Are there being deemed warez also and google is facing some legal issues with having them, or am I just blind?
If they are ok to post, could someone please shoot me an apk or a link somewhere to an actual working program?
Thanks in advance!!
Er should be titled TRIED, not tired...but hell I am tired come to think of it lol
I have no Android solution, but I use YouTubeDownloader on the PC & it works great.
Sorry man. I got nothing. I can help if you want a pornhub downloader though lol.
Yes, they do seem to all be disappearing with no rhyme or reason. I have TubeMate 0.9.10 on my phone, here's the APK:
http://db.tt/oM8POF6
And you should probably change your title to something like "YouTube apps disappearing from market?".
ack thank ya for the linky and LOL @ porn ...That actually cracked me up thank you\
Changed title
First off, I need that Porntube downloader please!
Secondly, all the Youtube downloaders are disappearing because Youtube wants you to come to THEIR site to see the videos, not download them and save them. Youtube makes money off advertising when you visit and click stuff, they don't make anything if you download the videos.
That said, I like Jet VD myself. It lets you pick the quality etc and works VERY well. Unfortunately, it was just removed from the market the other day. I'll post the .apk when I get home though, it's free anyway.
That or try googling it.
hey hey hey!

It would be great if you would post it, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.
JetVD is about the best I've seen.
Freedi is the best, I use it myself. It appears to be in Chinese, lol. But after you download it you can change the language and what country your in. Hope this helps.

Hi.
I am based overseas and I know there are restrictions placed on video streaming outside of US. If there are some ways to bypass this restriction, please share .... thanks
Not sure, but I'd say VPN, but it's more trouble and costly than it's worth. And I always feel like the VPN servers are snooping at what I'm doing. :-D

Register on unblock-us for a one week trial, change your DNS with the ones provided and then, if you thinks it's worth it, pay for an annual subscribtion ( as I did ). And honestly is worth every single cent, since I can also stream HD videos on my PS3 ( using the Netflix app ) with no glitches or interruptions.

Hi! Like Stocaprimo said, you can try the service for free first, just go to their website, unblock-us. I tried for maybe 15 minutes just to see if it really worked and was very happy with it, I could watch Netflix on apple tv for the first time and on kindle fire too and it's only five dollars a month, I changed the DNS on my router (netgear)with the one they provided and now all the computers and tablets plus iPads work great, it's like we were back in the US. Hope it works for you.

I was facing similar problem as I am a big fan of US netflix but when I moved to sweden, was missing it. Then I tried various options to get access and thank God an expert suggested me unotelly. It is a DNS service, now I can get access to netflix, hulu and rest of the popular US channels without any glitch. try their free 7 days version and you will love it for sure. If you need any help, just let me know I will assist you to install it.
I ran out and bought a Google Chromecast, only to find out it required one of those devices. I found it odd that nowhere in the commercial did it specify that. It's what I get for rushing out to buy something, I suppose. Got my money back for it, though.
Does Fire TV require a laptop / tablet / smartphone? If this is already posted somewhere in the forum or on another site, a link would be great. I did a quick google search and didn't really find anything right off the bat.
EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, I am wondering if I can stream / mirror media from my Desktop, instead of a smartphone / tablet / laptop.
Thanks, a potential Fire TV consumer.
Really, you come to this forum and you have no idea what a chromecast does?

Short answer is no. The Fire TV can exist as a semi-standalone media device connected to your TV. The only thing required is an internet connection/display.

Well, I do now. I bought one , you see, and I realized you MUST have a smartphone - tablet - laptop to stream.
Hence why I came here, a forum (where questions are frequently asked), to ask whether or not the Fire TV needs one of those devices.

Sorry I wasn't clear. No, an external tablet/phone/computer is not required, just a display and a net connection.

Anyone tested the direct link.
Something seems bit off about this.
I used the direct link, it worked but when I watching a channel, I get "you have been warned" in top left corner, also the loading screen says patience is a virtue, something seems odd.
