I know this nothing related to the tab..but i have an upcoming road trip and was looking to purchase and download some movies for watching it on the go.
I'm looking for legal sites of course .. where do you guys normally buy movies for download? I usually use Netflix so don't have much info on good sites to buy movies from. Also, anything in particular i have to look out for in terms of movie format?
I don't know about a good site for buying movies besides amazon but figured I'd offer what I use. I have a subscription to playon which has an android app. This allows me to watch media from hulu, netflix, and my server. It works with a lot of devices and has tons of options. Check out their website (playon.tv), they offer a trial so you can check it out.
nice work!
I have never had any problems with Samsung's media hub, but beyond that I always use netflix as well...

Legal site I don't know much about *cough* but I think Netflix is still your best bet, unless you want to stream live but that would require internet connection.

So, I'm not sure how Netflix is his/her best bet???
They want to watch on a trip, so wouldn't the content need to be local on their GTab???

I am actually looking for software to watch live TV for when I am away from home - i often miss my NFL team game because they are not televising in another state.
Any recommendations?

Get NFL Sunday Ticket on Directv. Once you are a subscriber download the Sunday ticket app for free and watch any game you want. Without Sunday Ticket I believe your out of luck.

Actually this year to use the app it is like 50$ more if you are a subscriber, but either way if you aren't subscribed to sunday ticket you can pay the 50$ and still use the app. Sucks for you're of us with the actual subscription since it used to be included but great for those who don't want the full subscription and just the app use.

Thanks but maybe I can find a cheaper alternative - my in laws are from new jersey and are huge Dallas cowboys fans (don't know how that happen) but they only televise a few games out of the whole season the rest all just local teams(jets/giants/philly)
I was thinking that there might be software where they can watch tv online by maybe tuning in to a local channel from Dallas. Just looking into a possible alternative might be cheaper than $50 subscription to direct tv....then again it might be the only option. also they do not own any tablets so will the nfl sunday ticket for $50 work on their home PC?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know it will, The 50$ (again not 100% sure that was the price but close) should work on any mobile device as well as PC's. I used to use it on my laptop but like I said I didn't pay the extra money this year for it so I'm not sure I just know it used to. Sorry wish I could be more help.

Hi all. Not asking for anything that is stealing....
I am a NC user in Canada.
As of yet the Amazon appstore is not available in Canada though I have it installed on my NC it won't let me download or purchase any content for geographical reasons.
I am sure this will change soon, but in the mean time I am missing out on some nice daily deals! For example swiftkey is available free today!
I am wondering if anyone would be able to pm me the apk they download for free from the appstore. I figure if I get it for free on the day it was offered free I am not taking anything away financially from them, I am only getting someone to act as my intermediary until the appstore can work for me.
Would anyone be able to?
Would greatly appreciate it!!!
I'm fairly 100% positive that Amazon is still giving money to the publisher for every 'free' app that's downloaded through their app store, so you are still taking something financially away from the publisher, even if not from Amazon. Past that, the code is still protected and not 'free' regardless of the initial cost to the user.
Possibly but fact is I am not asking for hacked app and currently it is free. being in Canada I just font have access. I font think I am asking much.
From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
I don't think it would work anyway as the apk for the app wouldn't be tied to your Amazon account.

Also I think Amazon can tell you're in Canada. It's the same way Hulu and other video services can tell your not in America. Unless you use a proxy then you are sol.
I tried to install the apk on my phone. It installs but when you try to change the swiftkey settings it throws an error about not having the amazon app store installed and to install the app store to use.
Has anyone tried using a usa vpn for getting apps off amazon?
Sent from my NookColor
thats why i cant buy it but if i have the apk on a free app i want to see if it will work
The fact that.it doesn't cost the.person downloading it anything does not suddenly make it free and available for the downloader to distribute it as they see fit. The Amazon store is the distribution method the publisher has chosen this time, if they've (Amazon or the publisher) decided that Canada isn't a place they want to sell or allow Amazon to give the app away, that's their choice, and someone giving you the app is no different than someone giving you a paid version from the Market.

I am in Germany and the Amazon App Store works just fine on my NookColor. No proxy or anything like that.

that is your opinion which is speculation it is more likely due to is sues that have nor yet been setup fact is if I drove 1 hour to south and got on few wifi there then I would have no problem.
Thanks for trying to be more of a problem than a solution.
I hope you never mess something up on your nook color as technically the stick image posted on xda wad nor felt released by Barnes and Noble dip you would be also doing something illegal.
There are cracked versions of this pretty program floating around but i wanted a legitimate version knowing it will only be a matter of time before the store goes live here and I will miss or on the offer.
Actually, it's not illegal to hack the NC. At least not in the US. They can void your warranty, but it's not illegal to hack it. What you are asking someone to do is illegal though.

I didn't say hacking nook was illegal. But using an .img file of the stock Rom to restore to stock is. B&N did not open source there OS version for release. That img file is not the same file as their update files. This is the whole OS to flash back to stock.
And while what I asked might have flirted in a grey area look around at what is available on xda that is normally pay software. I merely asked for a file being offered free on the day it was offered as such. If you have a problem with that make your own thread and don't [email protected] on mine.

I am afraid sideloading will not work too, as Appstore will need to authenticate your credentials first.
While Swiftkey is a great keyboard app for mobiles, I find Thumb Keyboard to work better for tablets.
It's been a while since I reasearched this and now that I upgraded to a decent phone I thought I'd check in here,. is there a decent TV app out yet? I mean to watch local TV digital stations or some variation there of? thanks
Not that I am aware of..bitbop is the only thing I know of. Best bet to just do a search online for a specific livestream..there are lots of flash sites out there.
Slingbox of course. Kinda pricey getting everything setup but most definitely worth it.
Buy a slingbox great hd easy install. i love it! The app is $30 buutt you can find it for a "cheaper price"
i just stream using flash from phstream.com (i think thats the site )

What is the latest and greatest shareware for grabbing mp3's using my desktop? I used WinMX back in the day, LimeWire, I have FrostWire now but searching doesnt bring up much, besides LimeWire court settlement crap. Leads me to think not many ppl are using it anymore. I really dont want to go the torrent route, unless thats all there is (that works good) right now. Yes I know, not E3D related, but it can be, watch. Also is there a app for p2p that will run on my E3D? If so cool, if not my PC is good enough

I use Tunee to get mp3s on my phone. The downloadble .apk from the market is here.
torrents, sir, are the way of the future. Swarm is amazing. It's a paid app, but I feel like it will pay for itself...
I use mediafire. They have an android app now too

Just tried swarm in android market and it still works.A bit buggy.
For mp3 I get mine at mp3sale.ru. yeah its not torrent and you have to pay but at least all my songs are tagged correctly, decent download speed, only download what you want, great bitrate. Not sure what prices are now. I paid $50 for like 1500 downloads. Haven't logged in for a few years. Just did and my credits still there, account active. Plusu you can redownload anything you previosly downloaded for free.

I've been looking for a app that Streams Live Tv, but really Haven't been Satisfied with any that I've tried lately! All the apps that worked and were Decent seem to get shut down....
So if anyone knows of any Please Help me out and Post the link or app itself!
Thanx...
I would also like to find something like this, anyone know?

We Can't be the Only ones, Can we? Lol...
everyone is interested the problem is that the legality of apps that can stream live tv from the channels we are interested in is pretty questionable. Essentially the developers of the app don't have the rights to stream the content and the content owners aren't interested
Not really a way to do it unless someone sets up something similar to http://www.slingbox.com/go/home
Otherwise, you'll need to wait till companies like Comcast and Cablevision port their apps from the ipad to android
If you live in the UK (or have a uk vpn/proxy u can use) the best isn't really an app but a website
www.tvcatchup.com gives access to the following channels
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I have used this service many times whilst I am camping and its perfect.
In Australia, I can only watch ABC channel!
Every Stupid website that works seems to get Shut Down as soon as I find out about it, Lol...
Was that offer for all windows phone 8 devices or was that offer only for those who went to the release party?
I thought they said all would get a free year but I was watching bits and pieces of the release stream from work, so I may be mistaken.
Thanks for your time.

If I'm not mistaken, it will be free to all users of Windows Phone 8 users as a promo for the Windows Phone 8 platform. Since Microsoft is dumping large amounts of money paying developers to get apps created for the platform, this allows the marketplace to attract other users who rely on said apps.
