Channel surfing doesn't work anymore last time I checked or did you find a new site?
The reason why cable companies put all attention on ipad is because its where the money is. Sad but true.
Honeycomb its just one month old give it time.
When or even if Honeycomb tablets blow up out of no where and surpass the iPad in tablet marketshare (or whatever) then attention will be given to Android tablets. Until then, "Deal with it." Or.. y'know, get an iPad.
I work for comast, we will have a streaming app soon for iPad also but we are working on a honeycomb version also. Hope that helps
fwiw, dish network's streaming sling app for phones works perfectly in honeycomb.
Cablevision iO app is coming to android in the Summer apparently (along with remote control features built into the app).. I am anxiously waiting on this app too..

Ok so i know im a noob moron so maybe you guys can tell me. Do you think the nook color rooted when we get flash will be able to play netflix movies or is the hardware just to low end?
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
Netflix does not use flash. Netflix uses Silverlight.
There is not a Netflix app out for android either.

Ahh i see. So there ya have it. Im a moron lol. Ok so the question is how can i make it play . Some brilliant young guy can surely make it happen if the hardware can handle it.

Unless an official app is released, it just won't happen.
Orb Live
I believe Orb is working on a port of their new app for Android, I use it for Netflix and Hulu content on my iPhone that I wouldn't normally be able to watch (Hulu content that hasn't been licensed for mobile, mostly). It's possible that after they get the app going for Android that you'll be able to watch Netflix content via it's interface.
The only downside is that I believe you have to have access to your PC that has the orb caster software installed (it does the actual rendering and casting of the video to your mobile device). As it sits right now, I can't watch Hulu content without being in wireless range of my computer.
Wait, I have orb to watch TV with on my nook and iPhone, how do you set it up for Netflix?
until they square away DRM for Netflix and Android - don't expect it - it migh be awhile although i read somewhere that Netflix is working on an Android app
One of the new phones at CES had a netflix app... so, as they say in Spaceballs "When will then be now???? Soooooooooon"

Playon.tv also handles Netflix, but their android client isnt out yet
There is a handset coming with Netflix preloaded, I don't know what is in the app though, I would assume playback is possible in the future. Also, there are other options such as Videos5 and a Hulu hack for when Froyo/2.3 rolls out.
you need to have the orb controller, which I believe is only available on iPhone, though I haven't checked the market lately to find out if it's available for Android yet.
The Netflix app for Android is out there. Its on the LG Revolution. Someone needs to get a copy of it.
Just need to confirm if that is a streaming app or just a scheduling app

A work around
The way you can work around this is easy to do, but will run you some $$$.
First, get a Slingbox.
Second, you need a TiVo XL or something the slingbox can control. The slingbox needs to control a device using netflix. The TiVo XL has netflix built into it.
Third, get the Slingbox app for your android phone. I was watching tons of movies @ the gym.
slingbox you say...hahaha. off to shop.
save money and get it from ebay. i've seen the slingbox hd for $229 there. @bestbuy, $299 + tax. all slingbox does is redirect what your looking and shoots it over the internet (ie... your phone being on the net and for the love of god, if you have ATT with data caps, it will run you). i used my slingbox app yesterday and was watching king of the hill. i'm in the military (in GA for school) and my TiVo is in KS. Technically when i deploy, i can use my nook off a wireless internet connection in iraq and watch tv as is live and with netflix.

I am pretty sure it is streaming, I know this came out a few months ago for Verizon I believe, not positive though. I just know that I had a Netflix scheduling app for my g1 and was jealous when a streaming app was released. This all of course is based on memory so I could be very wrong.

Hulu Plus comes to Android officially, but its not supported on the ThunderBolt
but yet, the Inspire 4G is a device that is supported. Why is it that we keep getting shunned on this great phone? First Netflix and now Hulu, the only one I care about out of the two is Hulu!!
I would rather have an official app than a hacked browser mod that runs like an app.
Any thoughts on having a fingerprint mod for the ThunderBolt to change fingerprint at will when needed?

The good thing about hulu is that its free (not hulu plus) and you can watch most shows a day after they air unlike waiting a year after they air to get the dvd from netflix.
hulu plus==waste of my time.
a hulu app (found in some dInc ROMs) that actually has content in app & doesn't require going to the website-----THAT is what gets my interest.
i don't need an app that requires 7.99/month
Yes, I got Hulu Plus for a while, and after a quick month unsubscribed. They "Constantly add new Hulu Plus content" by removing it, waiting a week, and re-adding it as "new." (at least this is how it ran last fall).
The free stuff on Hulu is mostly what I watch anyway; Top Chef, American Dad/Family Guy, House, etc.
I found that just going to hulu.com has been working just fine for me, though.
Hulu Plus broadcasts in HD/HQ, while Hulu doesn't. As far as Hulu vs. Netflix, the Hulu movie selection is almost non-exsistant (just an outrageous number of pot documentaries), but the TV shows selection is widening slowly. They do put the shows up days after air though, which is nice.
I use hulu plus over cable... Less commercials, most of the good tv shows, no need for dvr.
Only major downfall? No sports.

Get the app there. It's pretty cool for spectating.
The PLAYER app is going to release later this year in the late summer or fall according to Onlive.
Can't wait for that!

Wow...thanks for the link...works perfectly...awesome how the newest things going for Android I always seem to find thru my Nook, and I usually get more things running on that, before my EVO...(Netflix for example....running for 3 weeks on my Nook before I got the Evo version figured out....Anyway, I'm sure that there's a workaround without waiting for a player .apk to be released....If the client is any Windows or Mac, as it says on their homepage, I suspect using a browser with the Nook in full desktop mode (like Maxthon for tablets) and a hacked version of Flash (like the ones that popped up when Netflix first arrived, which of course I made copies of, lol) would be perfectly sufficient..I'll give it a shot later tonight after work...post any results if anyone else gets further with this, please....Thanks again...

Some notes on the Onlive viewer app
Onlive uses at least two different quality streams.
Spectating (which is all you can do right now) uses a low quality stream. When you are playing a game, you get connected to a high quality stream where game look near local.
The Onlive player app will release this summer or fall and will be compatible with a universal wireless controller that will be compatible with most tablets and phones.
There is at least one game coming out for Onlive that will have exclusive tablet controls in addition to standard controls. The game is called From Dust and was shown at E3.
Also a browser with a 10Gbps connection will be on Onlive this summer or fall too.
Netflix now has an app for the Nintendo 3DS, yet we can't get one for these Tetra 2 powerhouses. Hell, it works on my Nook!
Its really annoying. I cancelled my account.
If you have an account, please call and ask about it. The more people complain, the more likely they are to make the fix.
Ill restart my subscription if they get it going, but for now, Netflix has lost a customer.
Has anyone heard if/when they are going to step up?
I have to admit that I am surprised that nvidia isn't screaming at them.
i just got my own account the other day, i've been piggybacking off of others for like a year and a half. I can't wait to have it on my xoom so I can just plug it into my living room TV instead of lugging one of my consoles out there, but I can wait.
I couldnt help but to laugh when I first saw a youtube video on 3Ds...I mean it was a big slap in the face to all xoom users.

yeah, we get it, netflix is on the 3ds. this WAS announced from the start you know.
And its not like the doesn't work on the zoom, they just disabled the streaming portion. It took them almost a year after the HTC evolution came to even release an android client, no telling how long for a tablet version.
Yeah no kidding Netflix should be a given on such power full tablets I just don't get it
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Haha I do have Netflix on my 3DS right now!
But for my Xoom, nah not possible yet, I hear ya OP. But the 3DS is Nintendo. The Wii is one of the consoles that Netflix fully supports, and if you look at the 3DS version, it's basically the same app ported over from the Wii to the smaller portable 3DS screen.
Nintendo and Netflix have a console+steaming service relationship. They will always officially support each other, no matter what. This is not the case with Android. Not fully and completely supported, not just yet anyways.
We will see full Android support for Netflix in due time. Maybe when Ice cream sandwich makes its debut, who knows. All new tablets and phones will run the same exact OS, making it pretty easy to fully support all devices without a problem. That's what I believe they are looking to do. Makes perfect sense.
The is one of the worst consoles ever. My kids wont even play it, thed rather play angry birds on my phone/tablet. Just email netflix ever day about the xoom...bug the crap out of them

That would be nice, if they listed an email address or had a form to submit. Their customer service contact page only shows a phone number. But, I did just call and had a refreshingly frank discussion with the rep who answered my call. He said they were actively working on it and the issue was related to meeting studios' requirements for DRM in Honeycomb tablets. He was aware of the discussions here and on the other Xoom forum and he even said that some users had been able to change settings to make it work (he wasn't specific, but I presume he meant the build.prop device ID or something like that). I'm still running stock, so I told him this wasn't an option but I thanked him for his candor. He said it was definitely in development, but was unable to provide a timeframe.
I have to admit that his knowledge of the issue and his apparent honesty have me satisfied for the moment and willing to wait a while longer.

This whole thing with neflix cracked me up. I always thought their streaming selection was pretty weak, I only wanted the dvd's as the last rental place in my town went out of business. So I dropped the streaming part, kept the dvd's and saved $2 bucks. To add to that, I always end up using www.crackle.com as it's free and has lots of good movies and shows. It'll also work on the Xoom browser and on my ps3. Netflix screwed up, greedy company is greedy!

Crackle looks interesting but I can't use it without an almost immediate FC on my stock browser. And keeping a pc running at home while I travel, just so I can run a third party streamer, seems unnecessary. I, for 1, am willing to wait a bit longer... (at least until I find something better)

Playon has to be the biggest piece of crap, you can't even rewind with that or skip forward while playing Netflix, also if viewing Netflix thru playon it wont remember your position if you stop and resume later, splashtop is way better. I've paid for playon for a whole year and am so upset with their product

Nice on the NHL.com. Personally I have only been using Netflix app (you know with the three months free and all). Lol giving my ip address a break on the pirated TV shows and movies.
Favorite Chromecasted website
It may sound boring, but I've become fond of using Wundermap (wunderground.com/wundermap/) for 65" high quality weather mapping.
So for the first couple of days we had the Chromecast, my wife kept asking "so what can we do with this thing again?". We have a Roku so this wasn't doing much for her. The next day I realized she could watch the TMZ Live webstream on the large TV. Her face lit up like a kid on Christmas... and I was even pretty impressed with the unexpected utility it offered.
So yeah. TMZ. Not exactly the XDA demographic, but what can you do?
