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?

Problem with Orb streaming

I have T-Mobile with the Data plan proxy. Problem is when I try to stream from my PC, Core Player 1.2 pops up (my default) and the connecting to MODEM bubble comes up instead of DATA. PIE works fine for the internet, but my streaming from Orb or m.youtube.com doesn't. It does the same thing with WMP. It tries to connect to MODEM, and then it hangs for a few minutes, and says it can't connect.
Isn't it supposed to connect to T-Mo Data for streaming? It worked flawlessly on my Dash and my Cavalier. I can't figure this out. Anyone have the settings so I can stream?

Look for a cab called RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media.cab, or PM me with your email and I will send it.

I'm having problems with Orb also. I don't even know which player to use. I'm using Dutty's 6.1 rom, installed coreplayer tcmp and streaming and non seem to work? Only WMP seems tp play the files and even then its sooo choppy its unbelievable.

Did you change TCPMP's defalut files that it plays?

Thanks pyro, but it's still trying to get online using wifi? I'm using the Data connection. It keeps trying to connect to modem when CorePlayer comes up. Am I missing some settings?
As far a a good player goes, use CorePlayer 1.2, it has Qtv and works great.

I've been trying to get orb to work with CorePlayer 1.2 but all that happens is the program locks for about 10 mins and then it returns the error that WMV9 is not supported and that there is an audio codec error. Then the programs shuts down. Anybody have similar issues? Any known remedies. Also in the orb stream options i choose to transcode to Windows media is this correct or shall i use something else?
TIA

I second that. I had to go back to TCPMP.

TCMP wasnt working for me either wat setup did you use?

tcpmp works fine for streaming... you just have to go into the file associations page and check asf, avi, http, etc...
in orb, you'll need to go into settings->streaming and make sure you are using windows media. by default, orb uses flash.
w/ my 3ghz p4, the picture quality is really good even @ 80kbps ( what I use with Edge for non-buffering video )
sdp picture quality is pretty bad. lol 'n right now, my kaiser w/ htc's streaming app doesn't even connect w/ the new AT&T rom.

Just wondering if you've played around with the buffering option, cause i cant get it to work over wifi. It plays but is soo choppy its un watchable

It still tries to connect over the tmodem connection. IDK if it is supposed to do that. I even hard reset. Does anyone know what settings to use? I have the 5.99 data plan. For internet it still uses the data connection, WTF?
I have streaming media cab, checked all file associations in coreplayer, made sure that orb is streaming in WMV. IDK, maybe we can't stream on data connection on the Tilt? Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I did all of the above, and it still doesn't work.

remote desktop client

I know there are a few apps that connect the phone to the PC e.g.
My PhonePC, RDC, RealVNC etc.
May I know which one you can listen to "sound" on the phone (sound from the phone) which you play from PC (music from PC)?
I tried RDC, its fast but no sound.
I tried RealVNC, its quite laggy and no sound as well.
I tried Gremote, its only a remote control.
Any suggestion?

I think I can remember, that GRemote do this.

thanks, just tried but thats not really what i want.
What i want is, an app where I can use my phone to remotely control my PC on desktop and so that I can listen to music using my phone (sounds from my phone), from the songs thats are being stored on my PC, or even to movies.
anyone?
ok, just found out that Gmote plays streaming music just fine.
any app that plays streaming movie from my own pc?

streamed video will actually not work, cuz of network bandwidth and hero's processor .. or at least the quality would be really bad

what exactly is your problem ? If streaming audio/video to your phone, VNC/RDP is really not the right way ...

[Q] Allshare - playing HD movies from PC

Hello,
I would like to be able to play HD 720p movies on my SGN over wifi network, but even though I'm using the "n" standard I only get "signal to weak" message (even standing near my router). Standard 480p videos play ok. The strange thing is that I'm able to play 720p videos from SGN on my computer (even though they are not fluid - but maybe it's codec thing...)
Anyone could recommend something or had similar experience with hd videos?
Thanks

720p and 1080p works fine here. What's your network speed?

are you talking about dlna? ive tried streaming 720p videos to a LG tv. Lags at the start for like 10 sec but then its just normal. works great imo =)

You're talking about playing video on SGN or on TV? My laptop connects to router at 280-300Mb/s and SGN gets max 65Mb/s.

Wow LAN mode on this app really kicks ass! I was able to play 720p and even 1080p over wifi without any problem! And it's so easy to setup too I wonder why Allshare doesn't work this way Thanks for the tip man!

Good morning all,
I have one annoying problem.
Consider following scenario:
I open through LAN Mode or ES File Explorer a .mkv file direct from my home machine. This is done over WiFi Dongle. In other words - i stream video from my local machine over to my Samsung Galaxy Note. What is happening is that after a few minutes the picture and the sound freezes. I have to close BS Player, close ES File Explorer and open the video again. This is happening with all kind of videos. Even 1080p are played butter smooth but it freezes every 4-5-6 minutes.
I've tested with a laptop - no such problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'm using BS Player Lite.

It looks to me that your wifi dongle can't maintain stable signal. Try searching for new drivers for it.

That is the problem with the cache I guess, either ES or BS are not able to handle the huge memory size of 720/1080P. Try MX Player.

[Q] little bit garbled and lower pitched sound

Hi all,
Yesterday I bought my chromecast and I've set it up without problems, but I noticed the sound played through the chromecast is just a little bit garbled and worst of all, it's pitched like a semi-half tone down. For movies and youtube this'll won't be a problem, but I play the guitar and when music is played, it's horribly out of tune.
I couldn't find anything on the internet as a solution. Does anyone encounter the same problem?
Setup:
Nexus 5 with cm11, android 4.4.4
Stock chromecast
1080p HDTV

Sounds like a dolby incompatibility....
Does the source have a dolby track and does this happen with a stereo content item?

Its with all content; whether its youtube, or casting my whole android screen, google music, I even tried it casting a youtube tab from chrome on my notebook. All same results.. Lower pitched sound and a little bit chopped.
But I sure do wanna try out everything. How can I find out wheter there is a dolby track?

If it is happening on everything then it is unlikely what I suspected it was...Especially if it happens on You Tube as well...
It could be a bad HDMI network connection between the CCast and the TV....
So try this....
1 - Try another input on the TV
2 - Try the CCast on a different TV and see if it still happens
If #1 solves it then it's that one TV Input, You can check the audio setting for that input but the CCast should communicate all of that and send the proper signal. (try re-plugging into the original input and see if the problem goes away)
If #2 has the same problem then it's a lemon CCast and you might need a replacement.

In a clear moment #1 has already come to mind, so tried another hdmi input, same results.. I don't have another hdmi tv before wednesday.. Will try it then and will post my results..

I just tried my chromecast on another tv and it worked normally, so it was my hdtv.
I checked the internet and there was an update. Updated and my chromecast works perfectly now!
Thanks for the input!

HDMI is really a network so any small issues and it falls apart.
