How to watch TV on my Kaiser

Ok, what's the best "free" way to watch TV over Wi-Fi or even 3G? Can I use a website or is there some good software. Found some but wanted to know what's the most popular.
Thanks.

That's a shame, works fine here.

Dave,
Which TV channel is working? all of them?
I tried several and got blank white screen everytime.
It looks the web browser cannot execute the JavaScript ...
I use PIE with PIE Plus installed via 3G connection
Anyone can test this?

So far all the UK ones work and a couple of the USA too. Haven't tried any of the foriegn languague stations. I get the white screen too sometimes, but it goes when I restart it awhile later.

Strange ... I got white screen everytime, no matter how long I wait ... then refresh.
You meant restart = refresh, right?
I tried so far all UK "News (Live)" channels.

BBC News 24 Live
Narrowband: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/nb/wm/video/news24_nb.asx
Broadband:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/n24/bb/wm/video/news24_bb.asx
The broadband feed works great over 3g as well as wifi in full screen.

A great way to watch YOUR TV and DVR if you have one is to use SlingBox. It works great on Kaiser.

how can i save mms file to my windows media player or??

I use MobiTV. Its not "real" tv, but it has some good stuff

Orb and Logmein.
I use Orb which is free.
But then you need a Windows Media centre that stays on line.
With the (also, I am cheap) free Logmein I can give programming instructions and record things.
And of course I have a webcam connected, to look at the see where I live.
In Casablanca it helped me very much. From the hotelroom looking at "een vandaag" or the news, instead of all those Arab ( with respect btw) programs I do not understand

A good one is the Dutch www.streamingpda.nl with lots of English spoken chanels gif it a try.. BTW it is for free

Doesn't get any better than Slingbox. Sling is king when it comes to streaming live TV and watching your DVR on your mobile.

Absolutely, but ( God only knows why) not available in most European countries. Like in my beloved Holland)

Am using the Sony Locationfree, unfortunatly it's not available yet for phones only the PSP. Fingers crossed something comes out soon.

But you can import it from UK, right?
I dont see any reason it cannot be used in the Netherlands ... but ...
PS: I plan to buy Slingbox as well and I live in the Netherlands

Orb is much better than slingbox - and free! (Well, if you have a PC with a TV card lying around like I do)
http://www.orb.com

Ehhh... I wouldn't say Orb isn't "better" than Slingbox. If you have a TV tuner card, and tons of memory space on your desktop at home, and you don't mind leaving your computer on at all times, and you don't mind waiting quite a while (15 minutes sometimes) to restart a stream once you have paused it-- then yeah Orb could work for you. Personally, I found Orb pretty inferior compared to Slingbox. Sling is a one-time fee for the hardware box, a one-time fee for the software you put on your mobile, then it's completely free. Worth every penny in my opinion.

im not sure whats goin on with mine but i can open the streams just fine - i can get sound but no video - the player goes fullscreen and everything, but it just displays a black screen - it does this on the standard windows pocket media player web portal videos too - any ideas?

How is the Media Playback?

Well its that time of the year. My ATT contract just expired and I'm due for a new phone!
I was wondering about the Kaiser's media playback. I would really like my next phone to have strong video and audio playback.
I was considering the iPhone, but the lack of necessary features turned me off. I know it is great for media, but that phone is just NOT for me.
I would like your comments on the Kaiser's video/audio playback. Also, what 3rd party apps are you using for your video/audio?
Finally, I was wondering if the Kaiser was for me. Should I wait for another phone with good media playback, or should i jump on the Kaiser. I'm really into phone customization (my current phone is modded up the butthole, both software and hardware) and I know just by browsing through this forum that the Kaiser offers plenty of customization.
I have about a week to decide, so no rush. I would like some honest, well written, feedback. THANKS!!

You mean this as a joke, right ? You want to rub this in ? Have you even read one thread on this board ?

Media playback (both performance and quality) is sub par on the Kaiser. You would probably want to go with another brand all together.

I dont get it...
I can watch whatever the hell I want on my kaiser and its perfectly fine, no lag at all (even on youtube) I almost cant tell the different from my iPod and my Kaiser besides when i poke my kaiser it pauses, and when I poke my iPod, a mac genius comes from nowhere and says 'dont do that'

lol @ tyeo098
video drivers aren't being utilized to its full potential yet because of HTC and their drivers

Does it play normal TV shows encoded in XviD without hiccups as well?
The whole point of having a media eccelerating processor for me is that I don't have to worry about reencoding stuff. With the Kaiser I have to in order to maintain smooth playback.

Yes it can play everything fine at low resolutions, if you use for example pocketdivx encoder and downsize something to 320x240 it will play just fine, but the whole point is that it has hardware acceleration capabilities that should allow you to play it without having to re encode and downsize videos. You should be able to play a xvid file over wifi without lagging or having to re-encode. The camera should be a lot faster than it is, even a "free" flip phone's camera is faster, internet explorer needs to be a lot faster with scrolling even with the fix.
The phone isn't bad, but its not on par with other 400mhz devices, does that make sense?

Audio quality is excellent with the TMP media player.

While I disagree with you on some of your points, I definitely agree 100% with the camera portion of what you said. It is ridiculously slow. For me it is nearly useless. I had a Moto Razr (the first one) years ago, which could take an adequate picture. Not beautiful, not 3MP, but usable. I literally can't use the camera on this phone, because it is just TOO slow. If I can make the subject, and myself stay static for 5 hours (which is how long it seems to take after you press the button), then the pics turn out okay. It's the time it takes which make it useless.
With that said, I love my Tilt, and would never trade it, even for 2 iphones

All i know is that I have basically used SUPER and PDivxE to encode everything that left my computer to a device.
So yes, i guess thats just peachy then.
And it plays youtube videos as well. I watched a whole episode of Kenny vs Spenny on youtube (kenny cheated of course), it was the one where they were obese... and who could be that way the longest.
ANYWAYS...
I see no current problem with TCPMP but thats just me, like I said, you SHOULD encode anything that goes on the kaiser, it takes up less space anyways =D
I just Have one question...
On my PSP (I tend to xcompare the two alot) there is a program caleed PiMP Streamer, basically it lets me stream video, audio, pictures, any media off my computers HDD and on to my PSP's screen. Is there anything for the kaiser that can do this?
Peace-

Best software for Live TV viewing?

I've searched but cannot really find exactly what I'm looking for so I thought I would make my first thread. This is the question, what can you recommend as far as Streaming Live TV via an Application or even using a Browser.
Looking for someones perspective that does a lot of streaming and has tested and perfected their process.
=p

I know you said this is your first thread........
So I will tell you before anyone eats you up, before making a new thread always do a search first. For 3 reason, 1st it will get people from getting mad and not end up giving you anything, second you might even find something esle that you like and for third you might even find what you are looking for.
All I did was take the 3 words from your sentence "Live TV Viewing" and did a search. And look what I found Click Here , and if this is not what you are looking for just keep searching............
I did not mean to come at you as a hard a$$ but just wanted to give you a heads up, just in case you need to post anything else.

@gsessons: That's hardly a good site in my opinion for live tv streaming. It's very hard to find some good streaming applications and sites, even for the computer. I personally use Orb (orb.com) to stream live tv from my computer (which has a TV Tuner that I installed). Orb is the optimal TV Streaming but you will need a TV Tuner to do so.
If you do not have a TV Tuner, SPB Online has several online streams - but none that actually interest me (they just updated the list of available channels a few days ago as well to add more).
Those are my two suggestions - you can search, but as you can see..it doesn't bring up the best results....

slingbox and slingplayer mobile

I use orb, too. You get all of your channels that have at home where ever you go. However you need to have a high speed connection at home and on your phone so no DSL at home. Also you need to install a TV tuner which isn't hard and I think you can even use a usb one.

I have ORB and Slingmobile.
For live TV, nothing is better than Slingmobile.
You get full control of your TV FAST on my sling while ORB live takes awhile to start, no remote control function on remotes for Ondemand channels and such.
Slingbox owns.

+1 Excellent

I agree. Slingmobile is amazing. I have had mine for about 3 years now and used it on a treo, mogul, and now my touch pro. the upfront costs are the only downside to a slingbox. it pays for itself in the long run.

Been looking at Slingbox and having everything DIRECTV has to offer it would make sense to hook that baby up to a Slingbox. =p
Can randomly find a cheap slingbox if you keep your eyes open I've just never sprung to the opportunity, thanks for the advice sometimes I forget you can sling to cell phones rather than just PC's or what not.

yep, Orb and Slingbox.

[Q] Stream video from home computer?

So, Ive looked around the internet, and this forum, and cant seem to find an easy way to stream video from my home computer to my phone. I can use gmote when Im at home, and thats neat and all, but it would be nice to not have to download everything to my phone. I know Iphone has a few apps for that, are there any decent ones for android?
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Are you talking about a different app you could you at home over wifi? Or remotely over 3G? I use Allshare at home and it works well.

Oh sorry, I mean when Im out and about over 3g or wifi from another source. Ive used allshare and Gmote and they both work wonderfully when Im home. But as for when Im out and about, I havent heard of anything reliable.

Why not give Winamp Remote a try? I used to use that on my old iPhone 3G. You run a server-app on your PC, select which directories to share (video/audio), and access these directories from your phone via a login that you setup. On the iP3G, access was established through a normal browser.

Interesting. I tried something like that today, by using a different server type program and a certain video player, but it gave me a lot of errors and the videos had a lot of trouble playing (well, sound but no video, at the most). Not just HD movies either, movies that play just fine from my SD card wouldnt play (just to test it out). I wonder if this program would have those same problems? It sounds almost identical is why I say

Well, audio worked for me without a hitch. The UI was alright, and synchronicity was superb. Video worked well for me too, but I must admit that I didn't use this feature so much because iPhones were/are really finicky with resolutions and file-types. I was forced to pre-convert every video I intended to stream beforehand to an appropriate format and reso', and store two copies of everything on my HDisk: the original high-quality copy for desktop-viewing, and another for iPhone streaming... but that's just Crapple, right? Android is much more flexible when it comes to video-containers (among other things), so I see no potential problems for you—especially if you're using videos that play back fine on stock if stored locally (on your phone). Why don't you give Winamp Remote a shot, and report your findings...? It shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to setup.

That actually makes perfect sense, well, I think Im going to call it a night tonight. but by thursday or friday I will get on that and report my findings!! thank you very much for the help and I will get back to you as soon as I get the chance. Oh college life lol.

Sure man, no proll'em. I hear you

Try using a program called orb. Works wonders for me!

Dude, Orb is Winamp Remote! Hahaha...

"Vlc stream & convert “from the market (freeware is doing the job - but the $4 are worth it for the Pro version)
Quality wise is the best.
You need to do some work on your router at home to forward 2 ports.
This one is the best so far.

External TV Tuner For Galaxy Tab P1000

Actually I bout my galaxy 7 months ago and I installed it on my car by car mount. It is my navigator, music player and ... but I need to add two things more:
First: I want to use it as my TV in my car by using external TV tuner (Digital or Analog). Is it possible? Is there any accessory for me to do this? Any solving way?
Second : I want to connect my flash memory to my phone to play music from my flash memory like so many car audio systems . is there any way for this ?
and the last , is there any software that has this ability to read SMSs loudly ? Because when I`m driving it is impossible for me to read my SMSs.

Lol. Unfortunately he is right.
With the read SMS, there are plenty apps on the market that can do this. Give them a try to find personal preference.

Such a thing doesn't exist. Just Slingbox or something similar

tv is so retro man.......STREAM IT!

Could you please send us a picture from your installation? I am curious how did you do that. Thanks

If you were in South Africa your wish would have come true... one of the local satellite providers (Multichoice / DSTV) offer a device called the Drifta that you pair with your Android device and you are then able to watch TV on your device.
Do a google search for "DSTV Drifta"

so he's not a fool after all if this drifta is true
and I dont know which one is more of a fool when someone asking an external tv tuner to watch tv in his car and someone answered to stream it via wifi
unless your city is shrouded with wifi all over
in some country where wifi is not abundant and 3g is still sluggish, tv is still a main activity throughout the day, open your vision to a bigger world, you;re not living in a box. they sell galaxy tab there too
if i'm not mistaken, the brazilian galaxy tab is equipped with tv tuner?
so maybe there's a possibility of that , and maybe that's why he's asking
there's nothing wrong with that
a simple answer "No, it doesnt exist" would be much nicer without the fool remark

Well put! I agree with your sentiment

Slingbox
You can even control your home cable box with it, last I used it you needed wifi, but that was years ago

Im from South Africa and I own a Samsung GT-P1000. All you do is purchase the little drifter box from Multichoice, then download and install DSTV Decoder app from Samsung Apps icon on your device.
Open the DSTV Decoder app, connect your drifter, enter your Smartcard number of your home DSTV and vwala, there you go TV on the road on your Tab

Korean version of the galaxy tab has a built-in tv tuner. If your country supports the dmb type of broadcast then that is what you need
