I thought the lack of silverlight support prevented this.
Tagging along for more input.
This should be posted in the general forum though.
I wasn't sure where to put it a buddy of mine claims he has it on his vibrant I will find out more

I know you can now get Hulu on your Cappy, haven't found a Netflix mod as of yet.
It would be nice if it worked. I use it all the time on my ps3.
Netflix already posted on there blog a few months ago that they are coming out with the same App WP7 has soon. They accidentally showed a new phone at CES that had the Netflix App on it... Just a matter of time.
Could anyone provide BBC iPlayer apk? Would love to stream BBC, but on market i get "not available in your country" error. There shouldnt be any legal issues since its free, right? Just download, pull via adb and share. And i would be incredibly grateful

If you're still wanting the apk here it is
It's the latest version here in the UK

It won't work unless you in UK fyi, also it appears to just go to the mobile web version (doesn't support 4.0 yet)

Not true, I am watching Episode 5 of The Thick of It over Verizon 4G LTE in Atlanta.
Even on the highest quality setting, the app stream is inferior to watching it on the web--http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01nh8dd/The_Thick_of_It_Series_4_Episode_5--which isn't entirely a bad thing. Even with an unlimited data plan, it's probably best to settle for the lowest-quality stream you can bear to watch.
The app is also handy for browsing through the available programs. The Korean Grand Prix was boring, but this weekend's F1 Forum was one of the better episodes.

Thank you so very much Azzabear--my geolocation spoofing apps work on ITV and BBC content servers, but Google Play wouldn't let me download this app to my Bionic no matter what I tried.
So far these don't work for me on 4.1.1:
HBOgo
WatchESPN
TWC TV
SiriusXM Internet
For a device that's supposedly optimized for Google Play, these are pretty major apps to not have working. Although, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they do, but I'd like to have them working before I upgrade to the next nextgen tablet.
Any others?
Has nothing to do with Google or your purchase. The makers of the apps need to update them. Contact them to make sure they are aware.

When they say optimized for Google play I think they're talking about their content, not ESPN HBO etc...

I can get the tab to show on the TV but the video content doesn't cast.

I got it to work from my laptop with the stand alone sling app. I used the cast whole screen option.
Hope the android app builds in native support!
Stand alone sling app? You mean something other than through the website streaming?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Yeah, there's a standalone Windows desktop app. Last I checked it was still available on their website, although I don't think it's supported anymore.
Awesome I'll look into it when I get home thanks.

No go for sling box 500. If so I have to be in the same network and to do that I would have to go from Vegas to San Diego. Hopefully they get android support soon or at least CC supports whatever the online streaming users Microsoft silver light or something like that. Thanks for the info though.

Facebook has a Sling webapp that works on Linux through Flash, should work... keyword should, but you never know
The stand alone sling app is hard to find. Here is a link to the one I use.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20708654/SlingPlayer-2.0.3508-Setup-US.exe
I prefer it over the web apps. You can force it to stream HD and that is nice.
BTW, don't take any upgrade that the app offers or it won't work any more.
Confirmed the FB app for slingplayer worked for me.

Thanks everyone!

Still not working
Hi,
I was reading through the feeds from this thread and followed to download the stand alone app for slingplayer.
Got the stand alone slingplayer to install and actually can see my slingboxes.
Now - I've looked everywhere on the slingplayer to be able to "cast" it using chromecast but sorry, I can't find any option to do that.
The slingplayer version I got is 2.0.3.508
Any help please to further explain to a rookie?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have the Chromecast extension installed in Chrome Browser.
Click the cast button in the browser and you will see a little gray drop-down arrow.
In there click Cast Entire Screen.

I do have the Chromecast extension installed to my Chrome browser and still not too succesful.
So I started the standalone Slingplayer, got the video I needed showing already on my laptop, went back to my Chrome browser, then onto Chromecast icon just next to the url field. No gray drop down arrow to indicate option for clicking Cast Entire Screen.

For some reason, I cannot stream using the embedded player. It connects and shows my slingbox 350 (with an amber/yellow light), but when I try to access it, it says "Unable to connect, please make sure your slingbox is on and connected..."
I can connect and stream using the normal watch.slingbox.com site, but as soon as I use the embedded, it doesn't work. I should also mention it works fine on my Nexus 4 and 7.
Any thoughts?
Resurrect this thread - Sling say they will be supporting Chromecast soon.

Hooray I might have a reason to reconnect my Slingbox!
Actually, this would work around a distribution problem I have too...
Well this is pretty cool!

The announcement was today, finally, but guess what? No Solo or HD support. My Solo works perfectly - hate to buy another box. I wonder what the chances are of getting this app to work with legacy products... They claim on their website that the reason they couldn't add support was because the older boxes weren't capable. If they can stream to a Roku, they're definitely capable. I believe that about as much as I believe the original iPhone was not "capable" of sending MMS. I get that they're a business, but I hate when trying to force current customers to upgrade is so blatant.

Yep, Sling is lying.
I replaced my Slingbox in UK a year ago. They only sold the Solo and Pro HD then. Neither is supported now for Chromecast, despite these not yet being officially legacy

Cynical manipulation to make us buy newer models.
I got a samsung smart tv and would love to somehow get the allshare on the tv to work with my nook hd. As far as i know though allshare is only available on samsung smartphones n such. There has to be a way to get it to work though.
Anyone able to help?

I''ve been poking at it but so far I haven't been able to figure out a way to make it work. I grabbed the deodexed dlna.apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824953
Not only did I fail at getting it to work for my Nook HD+, I even fail to get it working on my captivate, Honestly, I'm probably am no good at tinkering with code in the first place.
I'd be thrilled if someone could shed some light on this, my galaxy tab was stolen so now I'm sitting on a useless allshare cast unless I can get my nook or my captivate to work. Preferably the nook since my phone is due for a replacement soon since it's starting to show it's age on running apps at a decent speed.
