If you subscribe to DirecTV you can now watch much of the content that you subscribe to on your android device with their updated app. The app is designed for phones so has some quirks with the vertical only format of menu screens, but once a video begins it will autorotate to horizontal view. Not high def but does work on our transformers and seems to keep up with little to no buffering. Though not perfect it is a much easier solution than trying to watch HBO go or max go on the browser.
HBO GO and MAXGO are now available for ICS devices

Is that the app that you can program your DVR with or is it another app?

So you can watch live TV?
Uverse had a similar app, but you could only select from a list of shows.

No this looks to be similar that. There is a list of networks that, if you subscribe to them, you can watch on demand for free. For myself I see Audience, Cinemax, HBO, Starz, Sony Movie Channel and Encore. There are also pay per view items. So it isn't like the Slingbox thing with Dish Network.
It seems that the Time Warner app is better because it has popular HD networks. All this DirecTV one has is premium networks. Psha!

I was curious to find out how the hdmi works with our phones so when I went to the sprint store the get my defender case swapped out for a commuter case, I asked about it. Basically DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) allows for a person to easily share their videos, music, and photos. I never knew our phones had this feature, so I download the "Double Twist" player app(its free) and "Air Sync" (its not free, you can figure out which way you want to get it) and when you open double twist, go to settings>air twist & air play and check the box next to it. Now if you have an internet cable tv, xbox 360, or ps3, you can stream and mirror your movies on their with NOOOO LAG!!!!!! You can also view your pics and stream your music as well. I love this feature. I thought I'd share.
Doesn't the phones "Media Share" application do the same thing?
Or are these programs better than that?

However, as of right now we are limited to formats that the hardware support. Hopefully RockPlayer or Vplayer will include this ability so that any movie format can be streamed.
Is it possible to mirror what is on the device using DLNA and Media Share? If so, how can it be done?

What do you mean by "what's on the device?"

It's just a preference. With double twist you use it as a media player also on the go. Being able to share media is a big plus and that's what matters.
Sorry if I was unclear. What I mean by "what's on the device" is complete mirroring. (being able to see everything that is being done on the device)
I would like to be able to do that over some sort of wireless connection to my TV.

Nope. I believe that won't be possible to do without root.
Too bad :-(

The EVO3D does do full mirroring.
Maybe not over DLNA but it does over HDMI.

Really?!?! You just made my day.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
DLNA doesn't give mirroring. Think of it more like turning your phone into a media server. It doesn't play the media on the server, but rather is just a host so your other devices can stream the media to them.
I've used DLNA already quite a bit through my ASUS O!Play HD2. There is a little bit of delay in starting the media, but everything streams smooth once it starts.
Anyone know how to do this with a Samsung TV with All Share? I spent some time last night but couldn't get it to work. My TV can't see my phone and vice versa. But my laptop can see my phone and play its content.
Anyone know if this is possible using a Wii?

Yes, I had a Samsung led 3D, swapped it for an LG passive 3D. Go into the media share app while connected to WiFi and check the box to share your media. Check music, pics, and videos. Now go to "set shared folders" and pick the folders off your EVO 3D you want to share. While on all share on the t.v. while connected to.the same network it will find your phone. If not, don't use the all share app on t.v. just go to the media play app and it will be there. Or. On phone go to connected devices app, choose the media you want to share and then your t.v. and it will play if its supported content.

Look for a media server option on your wii. Or a share media option. I dont have a wii so im just guessing.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
Thats pretty nifty. Hooked it up to my sammy led and it works really well.
Hello all!
I am trying to find a good app that can play tv shows like the big bang ....and more
thanks for helping!
Not sure if you'll find any on the Market, as there are probably copyright issues and such...
try Hulu if you have their service available...
Good luck!
Try 'Vee' by Xper

The TV.com site and app are owned by CBS. That app would let you watch the newest episode of some CBS, CW and Showtime shows. It also has episodes from older, "classic" TV shows. But the number of full episodes is pretty limited. It doesn't require Flash, so even someone with a crappy phone (like myself) can use it.
You can also watch a limited number of TV show episodes with the Crackle app (requires Flash).
ETA: Both of these apps are probably available only to people living in certain countries, like the U.S.

Do you have the market address for this app? I could not find it.
market.android.com/details?id=com.veetle
Crackle lets you watch TV and movies for free they have a pretty good selection. Not going to find recent shows but they have some good ones and a very nice selection of movies.
I recently got the Asus Prime and want to know the best apps for getting and watching tv and movies, i wouldn't mind paying for the app if need be but preferably wouldn't want to pay for every film and programme I watch, however a free app would be even better! Id like to be able to download in a WiFi area and then watch them on the go when i do not have connection. Also, what app is best for downloading and managing music free music, as I don't fancy playing for each and every song! Finally, i need a word processing app which includes word, PowerPoint and the other basic office tools, this I don't mind paying for as I'd like a good quality processing app. Any help on either of these subjects would be very helpful!
Regards Jack

For movies and shows that you already have (as well as movie trailers and youtube clips I think) I recommend the excellent Mizuu. It's like a tablet version of WMC, Boxee, XBMC, etc. The IMDb app is also an excellent representation of what a tablet optimized app should look like.
So who's watch the Olympic on their TP?
I tried to get market enabler to work sho I could install the BBC app to view streams, but not sure what to set it too.

I'm UK based so I can watch I player on my computer which also gives me live broadcasts. But on my tablet or phone it will only give me a mobile version that only allows previously screened programs. So no live TV .
So unless you're using a computer and can spoof your location it will not give what you are looking for . You may have better luck with a different European broadcaster.
The only way I can / do watch the Olympics is on regular TV. Sorry I can't be more helpful but it my save you some effort trying to crack something that doesn't show it live.
If you have cable you can use the nbc live extra app and watch live streams.You need to sign in to your cable account.

Not just cable. Satellite and other providers too.
If you're in the US and have a major provider for TV, chances are it's supported by NBC's apps.
Get these:
NBC Olympics
NBC Live Extra
London 2012 Results
The NBC Live Extra app works very well on my touchpad running CM9 alpha 2. The streams have been smooth so far and look pretty good!
It's annoying that NBC won't let me watch replays of the more popular events though :/
Olympics
I've been using the CTV London 2012 app with CM9 7/7 official nightly. Its been good so far

I use unblock-us v2.7. http://unblock-us.com/ It's a one week free trial but it allows you to watch the bbc live streams from http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012
I have it on my desktop and TP. Works just fine and you don't have to put up with all the commercials nbc throws at you.
NBC app works but is too big for the screen. Can't see any of the lower buttons. I just installed CM9 for the first time. So I'm a little behind. Am I supposed to change the DPI? to what?

Hey Guys, heres the deal, I own the following.
Galaxy Nexus x2
Nexus 10
Ipad 2.
hanging out at your house with a bunch of people having beers and want to show everyone some cool video you found?
Well guess what, No one wants to stare are your stupid phone or tablet! Nobody cares.
However, Beam it to your sweet tv set and everyone will check it out.
I own a Boxee box and a WD tv live + these stream all my content and are dlna capable, etc..
With my Ipad If I want to shoot a youtube video to the boxee box connected to my I just hit the airplay button. This is seemless and fast.
However it does NOT do HD.
On Android you cant do this manually. BOO!
This is until I found imediashare. This app finds any capable device on your local wifi network. Smart TV's Boxee box - xbmc, etc etc.
Go to youtube app, start a video, hit share - imediashare icon. BOOM, goes right to your tv set.
The best part in all this is that it will beam HD, I tested by beaming the new Lincoln movie trailer,
started the video hit share, and my boxee kicked the tv display to 1080p and it played Beautifully!.
Check it out its pretty sweet.

They have a light version too, but i think its nuetered to sd content..
This also shoots any other media on your android device as well.
cool app and no wires needed!.
Cheers!
Great! I'll give it a shot and report back in a while
Thanks I was looking for a good airplay alternative. This might fit the bill nicely.
I've been using Twonky Beam with pretty good success beaming media to my Roku. It is completely free, which is great. Quality looks fantastic although I'm not 100% sure if its full HD. As far as I can tell its just passing on the link to the video stream directly to the Roku and nothing is actually streamed via the phone.
Anyone else have experience with both?
