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...

[Q] TV App

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 )

for $50 a year you can't beat Jetflicks for content.

[Q] -Good sites for buying movies?

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.

[Q] searching for remote controll android to android (like teamviewer)

Hey everybody,
I'm lookin for an app to remote controll android devices from each other, like teamviewer for pc!
Lot's of my (female lol) friends have problems with their phones sometimes and keep asking me, how can i do this or that and how does stuff work....
Often they wan't my help in a phone call and don't get what I'm telling them cause they don't understand the simplest things, or their phone has a diffrent look and it's hard to explain to them what they should do or lead them to the right menu or, or, or.....
So I am looking for a app witch works like Teamviewer, so i can see there screens and just do it for them via remote
I thougt I've seen something in the xda portal someday but don't remember a name....
Has anyone a suggestion for an app to do that??? Oh and it should work without root and easy like teamviewer (at least for the host)......
Thanks in advance!

I don't know of anything free and this ecosystem is still very limited due to the phone manufacturers (as I was told by the company I will mention). Most of the softwares require you to have a license with them and then add on Smartphone devices for support which can be really costly. The software my company was already using,ScreenConnect (sorry can't post an URL), just released a app for Samsung devices. I played around with it on my buddy'[s S4 for a bit the other day. Prior to this ScreenConnect could take and send a screenshot to technician but they couldn't remote control the phone. I'm really glad phone manufacturers are starting to open this up and I can't wait until they get it across the board. I don't have high hopes for Apple at all though. Allowing something like remote control is most likely beyond what they are going to allow for a long time. Hope this helps a little.

Thx for ya reply, at least i got a part of an answer now
But the software u mentioned seems not to be very helpfull if i try to lead someone thru half way of their phone...
It sounds good for help with specific settings or error messages but i want more than that.
Really looking forward to see something more usefull in future
Oh and just found out about Teamviewer QuickSupport, wich can send device stats, some settings information and screenshots but only works from pc to android....

[Q] Pioneer AVH-4000nex updated to support Android Auto

Hello Guys! I've seen a lot of frustrated guys out there that were disappointed that Pioneer won't update their 4000nex units to support Android Auto. I saw this posted and wondered if this guy can do it so quickly, surely someone here could accomplish the same. I'm tempted to purchase his solution. Anybody have any thoughts as to whether this is safe?

this would be pretty freaking rad. the two head units from what everything is pointing to, are identical aside from the software. i would like to believe this is legit. i have been eye balling a 4000. the android auto would be a nice feature to have but it is lame on their part to not do a firmware update.
I have loaded it into my head unit. The program loads but right now there is no audio for android auto. Im waiting for an update and will give it a try at that point. I wish I were savy enough to know what to do but unfortunately I'm not. I have the firmware and can upload it if anybody who is interested wants to take a look.

I designed something myself as for a firmware interface to work with the 4000NEX. If you don't mind though, I'd like to take a look at what you have to see if mine is exactly mirrored or a bit different. Two things I noticing here is when it was posted he said he couldn't get the bluetooth to work for it, which I have rerouted a fix for that. But as for the audio not working for android auto, I want to see what is different on what you have and what I have. Mine worked fine when trialled, but it could be because of my current system already having bluetooth in the truck. If you don't mind, can you upload it here or email it to me? jared.balsor at gmail dot com
It would be great to get AA on the 4000NEX.
Hopefully someone here can get the firmware to work 100%. I'd be willing to donate.

By chance are you making any progress or updates on this? I would love to get a copy of the firmware with working bluetooth audio streaming.
a guy on avic411 has been making some real good progress on this as well.

I also will be willing to donate for a copy of of that firmware that can enable android auto and still have Bluetooth capabilities.

Yeah same here. Pisses me off that I only bought that head unit a year ago, and they updated the firmware for apple carplay but not android auto.
Firmware for NEX4000 to make it useful, please
I'm so irritated at Pioneer i could spit. I've updated to 1.11, got the MHL HDMI to usb adapter for my Galaxy Note 4, and then found out that i bought the crappy 4000NEX. The 4100? Son of a *****.
So, sell me 1 of your lauded & much praised firmware please, good sir. ☺

Ireland Needs A GAA App.....

Having lived in the Republic Of Ireland for nearly a year now I realise just how important the Gaelic Games of Hurling and Football are to these wonderful people. Unfortunately they are poorly informed via the official GAA app. There is one called GAH which simply shows fixtures/results but the country is crying out for a more informative app. I have searched everywhere and been unable to discover one...if someone out there knows of such a beast then please let me know. All that is basically really required is the ability to select favourite teams to follow, view previous results and forthcoming fixtures but most importantly also list the TV channels these games are to be broadcast on.
Anybody out there looking for an app project should seriously consider this as a golden opportunity because the response to anyone able to provide a detailed Gaelic Games app would be staggering.....
Thanks for reading
