I've been using the mhl adapter from t-mobile but can't seem to get NFL to show on screen. It shows the home screen on the TV but no NFL I'm assuming because copyrighted material won't play):
I saw on the market RealHdmi (that will show copyright materials) but its for droidX.
Anyone know what we can do about that?
Or should I be able to see NFL app already?
Any help/knowledge on this would be appreciated....

Look but don't touch huh? Ah.. maybe this something I should already know. I saw a couple other threads but no one mentioned the limitations of mhl/hdmi.

I'm guessing netflix would be the same. Not sure if there is a way around it. I don't have the cord to try it out.
I just verified that the when the MHL adapter is plugged in, you can't watch the videos or live TV. The TV is black screen. When you back out of the video the content on the phone shows on the TV again. Sounds like something some dev needs to try and take care of. You can watch it on your phone but not output it? That's dumb!!!

I got rid of my netflix account so I can't try it!
NetFlix & Slingbox work fine for me, only the NFL app is blocked.

NFL likes doing these things. you pay to watch, but that only includes YOU. they don't want you showing games on a TV with other people around because they won't make the money off it. pretty sure netflix output works, haven't gotten me an adapter yet. but blame the NFL (unless it works on other phones?) although it could be possible to hack the app to turn off detection.

Sorry but hacking the NFL app is like asking to be sued back into the dark ages. Those are some of the most richest and money hungry people around and they don't take kindly to people using their copyrighted(out the wazoo) material in a way that they don't approve of.
If you have to have that app so bad, go to T-Mobile.

I'll except any annoyance from the NFL. They've earned that imo. Just hoping someone knew a way and I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything to prevent it myself.
Also..... droidTV is working which is more than good enough for me. Might have to re-subscribe to Netflix.

Hey, I have searched and searched and found nothing referring much to the avatar tv out. I have tv out and I know it is posted that we cannot run avatar through the tv out. my question is can anyone make it possible to run avatar with tv out? I know nothing about programming and I don't know if the app that connects to the movie file can simply be edited to allow for tv out access. If it can be done can someone please tell me how? I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed but I have not seen it anywhere. Thanks for your help.
Nope its DRM protected. The only way to do it is buy the DVD and rip a non DRM copy to your computer the put it on your phone.

I wonder if the micro-to-hdmi plug would allow it?
I do not have the cable for that yet. You'll have to let me know if it works for you if you try it.
Have anyone try a video converter program?

That's gonna be really interesting to find out - technically, it SHOULD, since the video never has to enter the analog domain and can remain copy protected throughout. But then again, you never know...
I believe it uses HDCP so no you won't get much flexibility out of it. It's amazing how much effort they will go through to prevent you from watching your movie on your devices - especially when you consider that it takes 5 minutes to find a 20GB Avatar torrent, throw it to handbrake, and get a higher quality rip that you CAN stream wherever you want.
Just go around their BS until they get the message and just cut it out.

micro to hdmi cord
I have already tried with the micro cord to hdmi as well as the cord for the headjack. both with no success it is pointless to try.
There is no fix , as fixing it would require breaking the copyright protection.
Avatar on the phone is DRM'd so therefore it will not play out to your TV.
The best option, is to buy the DVD/Blu-Ray, and make a backup of it in one of the formats that the vibrant can play.

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...

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.
hey guys, i recently got a micro USB to full size adapter in hopes that i could run a generic game pad or flash drive to my DX2.. i understand the phone doesnt openly support OTG mode, but is there any way a ROM could potentially enable this for us? maybe by porting over (so to speak) the technology used in 3.1 which allows game pads?
1.) i am aware this question has been asked before (albeit, only a few times), i just want more awareness for this as i know of a lot of people who would find this feature to be most enjoyable.
2.) i know we can use a wiimote, but there are a lot of people out there who dont have a Wii and dont want to buy a wiimote that they can only use on their phone. This would enable everyone with a PS3/wired xbox controller/generic game pad/usb keyboard (a much larger percentage of people than the wiimote alone) to fully enjoy emulators on their phone.
if any devs are reading this, become a God in the android community and get us wired gamepad support! or if anyone else feels like i do, sound off and help get this feature recognized
That would be very nice. I happen to have a usb hub for ps2 controllers.

i know... im just having trouble getting it to work with Yongzh's emulators :/
OK..... As some of you know I own a deli/restaurant. We were broken into recently (no I don't have a security system and yes I'm a dope), luckily they only got us for $200-$300. I understand all of the obvious options we have for a system and I will be putting those in place asap.
Here's the thing.... there was no sign of forced entry. I have business partners (wasn't them) and 2 employees with keys (really don't think it was them) but possibly someone that knows any of the above got their key. None of that matters (my tiny brain will investigate that)....
Is there a security system or cams that could be linked to any of my android phones or tablets? If anyone knows of a system anything close to what I'm talking about, that would be really cool.
I'll be meeting with Time Warner and my wife just mentioned adt about a system but..... if I could any how have cams going to my tablets or phones that would be even more helpful, if it was an inside job.... and I hardly EVER think that way but there was no sign of forced entry. Also it happened the day of the Hurricane so the cops said anything outside with finger prints wouldn't show a thing.
Just saw something similar on the Nook Color forum and was wondering why I didn't ask this question to you guys the day it happened.
Money is somewhat of an option (as it is to most people) but having something feeding to my android devices would be priceless.
If this is an obvious answer please let this thread sink but if there is a way to have security running to my phones or tablets please speak up.
Thanks,
Chef

any suggestions for those that want the wireless route of camera? where I want to mount mine I wont have any existing cabeling for video and even getting power to it is gonna be tricky.
Really want remote viewing control on phone, recording dvr either onsite or in the cloud. most seem to be hardline cameras still except for the IP cameras which dont work with most typical dvr's ive seen at first glance. I know they make transmitters to convert the wired camera to wireless but thats adds a ton of clutter too as ones ive seen are bulky.
Try logitech alert 750e on Google.

I hate geovision dvr cards, but they have an android app finally. Most systems can be viewed from a web browser, but you'll want to make sure that there is an app for them as it makes viewing the video remotely much easier.
If you don't want to worry about finding an app for a specific brand go with wireless cameras. Don't get the kind that need a base unit. Get some that can be linked to a wireless router. You can then setup an existing computer to record the video or get a new computer dedicated for just this. Since each camera uses its own up address you can use one of the many ip camera apps in the market.
If you need help with anything send me a pm. I do camera installs and repair as a side job.

Let me talk to my business partners and wife tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll shoot you a pm after I talk to them. This seems to be a fairly cheap option w/out monthly fees or a base. I also have a sneaky suspicion that maybe someone is going in after we close and eating or feeding their friends and family like kings.
I work 7 days a week and close the business quite a few of the days. Sometimes I get a gut feeling that things weren't the wah they were when I left the night before. Soooo..... If I could be watching my business at night while yucking it up on xda, that's a win/win.

I don't have any information for you, but just want to show my sympathy toward your situation. It would be terrible if someone you trusted with the keys was doing it or even giving the key to their friends to do it. I am a Union Committeeman at the shop I work at and I just had to sit in with a maintenance man of ours while he got fired for stealing from the company. He was using his key to come in after hours and stealing copper wire and brass fittings and taking them to the scrap yard for money. The Plant manager was suspicious that it was an inside job and took pictures of the cars and people he suspected and took them down to the local scrap yard. They identified the guy and his car and even gave him a copy of the invoice he signed himself(dumbass). He lost a decent job over $76. There was nothing the Union could do to fight it because he was basically caught red handed. The Plant Manager gave him the option to either resign his position on the spot, or he could try to fight it and he would get the cops involved. He admitted doing it and resigned. Anyway, I hope you can catch whoever is doing it. I hope it's not the people you have trusted with keys, but it just sounds strange to me that there are no signs of forced entry. It may cost you now to install a camera system, but will save you $ in the long run. Good Luck bro.

Thanks! I tried doing a little detective work myself but lead me nowhere. They got me for the $100 bucks I leave in the till everynight to start the next day with and got my change box (roughly $200) where I keep all my rolled quarters, dimes etc to make change for the register ( this is where my detective work came in) . I went to a local change for dollars machine vendor but so many people use those daily (including myself when our home change cup gets full) that it would be impossible. I went to local stores and told them to keep an eye on anyone paying with rolled change. That's about the extent of my detective abilities. If I knew any crack dealers they would be the first ones I would ask if anyone's has been buying crack with rolled quarters (haha) .
As for food possibly missing at night is weighing heavy on my mind due to the whole trust issue when you hand a key to your business to someone you trust. I really don't think its anyone with the keys but maybe someone they know grabbing the key while they're sleeping or whatever.
I'll get the bastard whoever it is.

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...
