I have Dish Network and a sling box, so the Dish Network app is the best for me.
Slingbox all the way. Have had it on my last 4 phones. Can watch any program from home on my phone. MLB and NFL too.

All those flash streaming sites work just fine

I have a slingbox as well, currently using it on my T-Mobile G2. Getting my Thunderbolt in the mail from Amazon tomorrow. How well does it work in HQ mode with VZW's 4G LTE? I'm sure the answer is obvious, but just wanted to ask anyways
Im a fan of just going online and using flash 10.2! runs great and better quality then other apps
Tv.com or Droid streamer work ok

I haven't been in an area with the 4 g yet. But I did get the car dock. Reminds me of the Droid 1. Can watch my slingbox and listen in my car speakers on the dock. Not that I would do that or anything.

It works very, very well. I stream from a 922 and a 722 with the Sling adapter and both work without stuttering.
Jetflicks is my favorite TV app. Download from the market. I believe it's around $3 a month but it's definitely worth it! Loads of current shows and the update constantly.

I've tried them all except Slingbox. MobiTV is $12.99 but worth it to me. Get it in the VZ App application.

better than the paid TV show stream? I love that app, it's got every show I've looked for and at like $7, totally worth it
Megaviewer pro is great for movies. On time payment for access to just about any movie. App found on the market.

I'm a big fan of the new HBO Go app. Not the 'full' HBO catalog but not a bad selection at all. Unfortunately you have to be an HBO subscriber on participating carriers which is very lame but these things will change in due time I hope.
SLINGBOX all the WAY!

Though it's not the same as an HDMI-out, the Thunderbolt will be able to provide HDMI-out through an adapter.

I'm liking the first three accessories; Accessories Supported: HDMI Adapter, Wireless Charging , Extended Battery (3.7VDC, 2750mAh)
The accessories listed above with a 1 year contract is tipping me over to the TB side. My two concerns for the TB is the battery life and cellular reception. I have only owned 2 HTC phones; one was the Tilt on the AT&T network (the reception was sub-par) and the second is the Droid Eris (it does have good reception with the new radio).
The Devs have made the Eris into a good viable smartphone for the masses but the screen size is still not to my liking. I want and need more screen size and resolution to make it work well for me.
I have been thinking of waiting for the Bionic to come out and look at the comparison reviews before making the decision. With the 4G tiered plans looming over our heads, I don't know if it's a good idea to wait. Lastly, how is the earthquake and tsunami in Japan going to affect the availability of new phones?
Decisions... decisions... Both of my lines are up for renewal.....

It is still the 32gb card. I called verizon today because I am on the fence between this and the merge (assuming it has an LTE radio and how long it will take to come out?) I'm sick of the D2 and I miss HTC phones, so i'm going to be paying the full lick. I wanted to find out about data pricing and she said it would be the same, with no premium. And "unlimited". I'm kind of afraid to wait because of the tiered pricing coming up and I really don't want to lose unlimited data.
oh, and there's this.

I was in your boat with wanting to wait for the LG or Moto device but after hearing from my buddy on the inside, I ordered the thunderbolt so I could jump on unlimited LTE, Verizon will grandfather your unlimited plan and you'll never have to worry about going over and having to pay more, to me, that was worth it alone, I'll wait 20 months to get a new device for unlimited LTE, even if it's not in your area, more then likely, it will be over the next year or so, but from what I've heard from my buddy, unlimited data is going to be ending in the next weeks, not summer time like some of the tech hubs have been saying, I'm using the ext battery and waiting for a case that'll fit, love the device, will root once custom recoveries are available! Good luck with your choice
Oh and Radio is great in this device, personally I think it's stronger then my incredible not by much but usually where I have one bar I have two and so forth plus lte is a dream, no issues with using hotspots for my Xbox to get on some COD, bandwidth report under options in cod shows 10000kbs, better then my ll DSL at only 515 kbs.

There is no HDMI port on the phone, period. There is a new standard interface for USB->HDMI dual port (called HML), but I know the Thunderbolt doesn't have it. I looked at the port with my own eyes.
I think you and that PDF file are referring to the DLNA->HDMI adapter from HTC:
mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=10802
It will work good for us folks that don't have DLNA tvs, but don't assume you will be able to do Atrix style webtop, mirror display things. DLNA is for streaming video and music, not re-compressing what is on your Android/Thunderbolt screen and sending it via DLNA. Think about the lag on that and overhead to do it. Lack of HDMI, like the Atrix was one of my biggest hangups with the Thunderbolt. I think it was a huge mistake to think DLNA is the future. Webtop, HDMI, MHL, and/or WHDI are! Booooo HTC. But everything else so far is awesome with the Thunderbolt! So cheers HTC!

I posted a thread in the accessories or general forum asking about this. But no one responded. I have done a google search and checked verizon and amazon, with no luck. According to the PDF, we are suppose to be able to get this, but I don't know where.
Since no1 had the usb to rca cord for the incredible i guess il check out the vzw store on my lunch break tomorrow

Anyone that was around on the NFL app that was on Verizon used on our network days would know how to feel about this. I don't give a **** if I have a 2000 ft plasma in my bedroom, that damn app was fun while it lasted. The rest of you will just hate on it.

I always thought that with verizon's nfl app that you could stream any game at all much less the superbowl.. is this not the case? There were a few thursday night games I wish I'd have able to see some of but I work nights away from a tv.. but I can do whatever I want with my phone.

Get a slingbox and your jealousy will go away. You can stream your entire channel line up, plus dvr content, plus on demand. Either way I think most folks will be in front of a TV on Superbowl Sunday.
I recently upgraded to a Note II from my aging Photon. Rather than just putting it up for sale or just leaving it in a drawer I thought I might repurpose it. So, I'm looking for some creative Suggestions on putting this old hardware to new use. Any ideas guys?
-WiFi Connection only.
-Bootloader is unlocked (v2.3.4, never loaded new bootloader.
-I also have a HDMI dock available.

Congrats on the new phone. I'm thinking about upgrading myself. Do you mind if you post some pictures of the 2 phones side by side? I wanted to see how big the phone really is compared to my photon. Thanks!
I went to Verizon and got the note 2. I gave our two photons to our kids. I took most of the apps off of them and left the games.

Root phone get Roam Control from play store (there was a beta version floating around). Roam on Verizon try to make a call you'll get a recorded message on minute packages. I paid $25 for 100 minutes +/- good for a year. I forget the name of the company but they have a web site. I did this on a questionable photon out going calls only. You might have better results. You have to enter a calling card number I found an app that does it automatically.
I keep this in my truck and all so have done what "atroph" posted. It's nice to be able to kill the check engine light ;/)
And now that you can save a map you can have a GPS without wireless service.
