Freeview tv

Can you get Freeview tv on the desire?
If so how do you get it?
I have unlimited Internet with T-Mobile

You can get an app called Beebplayer, which is all of the BBC Channels, and Radio station, plus the have catchup on there too.
As for full freeview, I don't think we'll get that until Flash 10.1 is available to us, the you should be able to use the TVCatchup.com services on their website.

Talking of which, I read on their forums that there was talk of an Android app/version/something but with now ETA to date.

Nope - to receive Freeview the phone would need a DVB-T receiver and decoding chip, and it has neither. It maybe be possible to stream some of the Freeview channel in various ways (flash through the web browser, or with apps like beebplayer), but its not really the same. A slingplayer app could possible achieve this too (again by streaming the channels, but in this case from your own TV/PC etc), though I doubt if there is one for Android yet.
An external freeview tuner would be great, but I'm not holding my breath.

mobile tv
I think you better use this one is BEST
http://www.yamgo.com/watch-mobile-tv.html
It is designed for windows mobile

or see the other post about TVCATCHUP.COM, they now have a bigger tv stream compared to YAMGO and also better quality.

I find that TVCatchup doesn't really work too well. but Yamgo is fine.
YMMV of course.

Sling TV app working on fire tv

I just received my invite for sling tv and noticed the fire tv is not yet supported but android tablets are. The apk file can be downloaded via the sling website FAQ page.
I have sideloaded the apk and it appears to be working fine so far figured I would share.
I have added the older version of the apk file. As of last night it was still working unable to test right now since im not at home. On a side note I plan to cancel my sling subscription due to its like going back to the 90's i dont enjoy scheduling my life around the tv id rather dvr everything I want to watch.

Do you have to use a mouse or does the remote work?

I side loaded the app for phones onto my AFS and it ran successfully for about a day. Then it failed the playstore license check and stopped running.

That sucks mine is still working fine without any issues. Also yes the remote works just fine.

There is a slingbox app available on the limited Amazon app store for Fire TV devices. This is probably fully supported(anything we sideload meant for other platforms obviously might not work). That worked fine but I couldn't use it because I gave an old Slingbox A unit.

This thread is about the new subscription TV-over-Internet service, Sling TV - not Slingbox.
The sideloaded Sling TV app is working on my Fire TV Stick, as well. No problems and it's been a few days now.

I sideloaded the apk to my firetv over the weekend and when I started it up it says that the version I have is outdated and needed to be upgraded.

Would you be able to post the APK you used? The version I downloaded seems to have protection built in that doesn't allow it to work on the FireTV stick. It says it isn't a supported device.

Weird - I only downloaded it a couple of days ago. Here's the APK attached. (Note to admins - this is a free APK downloaded from their public site FAQ - not piracy.)

Nice! Works for me. Thanks!

Thank you for the updated apk. The one I got from the site setup didnt work.

does this app includes the channels they recently added?

Mine worked a couple times, but now I just get constant buffering and nothing ever loads although on my laptop it loads right up. This is with the older still confirmed working version..

I have the same question. can you pls reply?

This was already answered but yes it works fine with the remote. Also the old version is still working great for me but dont care for the service.

Working good for me. Remote and all. Ocassional buffers but all good.

There is now a Sling TV app for the AFTV in the Amazon store .

Anyone have the apk from the Fire TV store?
I don't have a Fire TV but have been using the older apk on an Android TV box and it works fine.

App/Game compatibility list.

Hi All
I just re-found a compatibility list by androidtv.news (thanks guys)
great work, please contribute your findings, and be careful when you edit (there seems to be a few rows with no name, unfortunately by an edit)
I'll ask the mods to sticky it..

Also minecraft pocket edition now works if you install it from the browser

check out my new Android game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pgviews.kobesadventure

Add it to the list if you haven't already

Did anyone notice that the sideloaded apps started updating in the play store? Minecraft has been updading itself twice, even though its not available for download.

as long as the sideloaded apps have the original signature untouched, they have always updated.

Edit: Nevermind. The problem was me. User error.
I tried to install Amazon Video but received errors. Anyone else have the same experience? Thanks.

for some reason realMyst only works on my 2015 not my 2017

I like OpenArena, but it is essentially single player only. No multiplayer servers are around.
Anyone want to compile this for Android?

Local split-screen multiplayer.

Anyone have an updated link to the compatibility list? Link in the OP no longer works.

Netflix TV Os
Hi,
I'm struggling on the internet for information I'm after and you might be able to help! I want to get a media player with the official Android TV OS (the same one as the Shield - not the other normal media boxes). Simply put - in SA we have unstable internet connections. For Netflix on Android TV OS, does it allow for offline downloading? People have suggested popcorn time but I want to support creators and anyway, Netflix is good enough. So, can anyone tell me whether the Netflix App for the official Android TV OS supports offline mode (ie downloaded episodes like you have in normal Netflix on Android).
Thanks Tom

Xfinity Stream For Latest Shield 2017 no Root

Has anyone been able to find a version of xfinity streaming app that works with Shield 2017? I have tried a number of versions from the FireTV forum without any luck. Would really love to find a working version for the Shield being the best android streaming box, but no one seams to care about the xfinity app!

It should be a matter of time now...read that xfinity was about to release an app for Android TV, but that it would be limited to Sony TVs at first.
Once it is released for Sony, I am sure that properly working APKs will surface for any other Android TV devices.

Well...of course you have to be an xfinity customer to be able to use the app...
Is that what you mean by "Xfinity network"?
I am streaming Xfinity on my Samsung tab pro 10.1 and various PCs in the house...but I also have the STB for DVR purposes (which can be streamed all over my network). I do not have their modem/router as I own my own, and still works as expected. I can also stream from outside my home on my phone.

If anyone is still interest I having a partial working version. Channels work perfectly accept for on demand viewing.

I am very interested, can you share what APK you have working? I am tired of having to cast xfinity stream from my laptop, I want a native app.

I am also interested.

Ditto...need it on my nVidia Shield

Sorry to show up to the party so late. I have a version of the newer xfinity app. You can stream live tv and on-demand shows (obviously only channels you are subscribed to). It even has launcher support (meaning it will show up right on the homescreen). I was just bored and browsing, so if anyone is still interested I will share a link. Also, what I gathered, this doesn't require root, although my device is rooted so I cannot confirm that.

After setup, the main page that loads will be a "For you" page. Click the back button, it will load a page where you can select "Live" "On-Demand" and a couple other I can't remember. When trying to select a shoe through "On-Demand" I recommend using a mouse or mouse toggle. You can click and drag through the episodes list, so to select other episodes.

here ya go!
