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?

Hi All,

NOTE: if your on a limited data plan then please beware of using this (use wifi) as it will eat up your data plan.
Enjoy

This is a live streaming for all you sport enthusiasts. that providing u subscribe to it, u can then watch it free on your phone... streampro.tv
Just to let You know, since i got this i don't have Sky Sports anymore.
I get to watch all the Premiership games live at 3 o'clock on a Saturday.
All main sporting events i.e Boxing, Golf, Rugby etc etc
And its really cheap to, saved me a fortune.
thanks for the links, new android user so its good to know these things
Remember if you are in the UK, you need a TV License to do this legally as it is classed as live broadcast in the Terms & Conditions.
Tv licence as stated required for live transmission .
Catchup TV watching TV that is not live does not at present require a licence .

It's called TVCatchup but there is no OnDemand facility, it is streamed live and does indeed require the user to have a valid UK TV License! Not that they could ever really enforce it.... yet (Deep Packet Inspection anyone??).
It is a great service and I've used it without issue for the past year or so. Recommend to anyone.
Regards.
I've got to say that watching flash streams was a joy on my Nexus One, and trying Demand Five on the Galaxy S II it's been amazing.
Just a shame most of the sport has popups, comment boxes, and get pulled after 30 mins by Sky.
which browser are you using for tvcatchup? Just tried to use it on my S2 and when I choose the channel and hit play nothing happens! Using stock browser...any ideas?

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!

Thanks for sharing buddy. Exellent app.

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.
Let me first day this isn't warez. For it to be fully functional you still have to be an MLB Premium subscriber. I'm posting should anyone have the issues I encountered.
On my Nook running CM7 the market said our device wasn't compatible. I sideloaded this from my phone and it works just fine.

Thanks. I'm going to try this out right away. Any idea if the live streaming video will work on the nook this year?
Unfortunately MLB "tested" their app on, what appears to be, whatever was around the office. The Fire is approved yet our Tablet isn't. I have a T-Mobile GS2 that isn't on the approved video list yet the AT&T version is. Last year they had an approved list...but allowed other to try with a disclaimer. I've written them regarding this.
I tried using the Dolphin browser set as Desktop and was able to connect. Unfortunately, CM7 video acceleration isn't up to par yet (hopefully soon) so I had a clear but choppy picture. It did, however, look great in my phone
......
MLB at Bat Lite is available on the Android Market now under CM7. I was able to login with my account and am listening to a game now...unfortunately it doesn't seem to show any live video. Quite annoying when the Kindle Fire is supposedly compatible. I'm hoping this might change when we get past spring training but will see.

There are very few games with live video that i have noticed. Unfortunately i havent tried to watch any but the fact I didnt have a "device not supported" error with at bat lite is a good sign.

Your link is dead. How do I get MLB to play on my tablet? I am a Premium Subscriber.
I figured a way to get Live streaming through mlb.com
First you need the Dolphin browser and set it up for "desktop" compatibility. This forces the web pages to open as they would if you were on a PC. Next, just download the Flash app 11 in the Google play store. Go to mlb.tv, sign in, and voila! you can watch all your games on live streams or archived!
It looks so good too, it streams in HD.

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.

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!

Found an app thats gives full access to Hulu without any restrictions plus it has a lot of other features. Its called WonderShare Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wondershare.player&hl=en
This is not Hulu Plus it just lets you watch videos on Hulu without getting the platform warning. If you have Hulu Plus just log in when you click on Hulu.

I had netflix..i should try hulu
is it any better? do i have too pay? >>> YES IM THAT LAZY TOO GOOGLE IT UP xD
Hulu trumps Netflix for my needs. Hulu streams CURRENT shows, Netflix does not (only after the season is done). Netflix obviously does movies better, but they don't have a great online selection...and many movies and shows require the additional home delivery service. Hulu is 7.99 a month. I just torrent the rest of what I can't get on Hulu (HBO, cinemax shows and new release movies).

Hulu is free but if you want to watch everything on Hulu you have to pay for Hulu Plus. Hulu only lets you watch a limited amount of episodes form each season. With Hulu Plus you get to watch full seasons of TV shows.
hulu+ = current tv episodes
netflix = past seasons and whole series as well as movies.
a monthly subscription to both runs you about $15 a month. i dont watch tv anymore between the two of them.
it keeps saying for hulu that I need flash but I do and updated anyone else have this problem?

It says that on most every site with this app but its fine, just hit the green play button and the video you clicked on will play. This app does not use flash player it uses HTML5 so you may not get some animations but you can view videos. This app is about viewing the videos even if animations are not displayed correctly its still a great app that lets you watch videos from a lot of sites.
great app, but...
I fear for it's longeveity, at least for the hulu part of the app. Seems to me Wondershare player is violating hulu's TOS all over the place:
- allows playing on moble devices w/o paying for hulu+
- allows circumventing of in-video advertsement
- allows downloading of streamed video for later playback and/or file distribution.
I predict Hulu/NBC will soon be coming at the makers of this app with their pack of rabid lawyers.
