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.

Im going crazy!
I am a big fan of US tv series and would love the Dexter app that Showtime give out for free. The problem is its region restricted and I cannot download the apk.
Same is true of the AMC and HBO general show apps!
So damn annoying! These are free apps but you have to be in the us to download them.
Would any kind American out there be able to host these files so I can download them?
I will be extremely grateful
Someone here could probably put them on multiupload.com......
If you could make a list of the apps you would like, I could try to get them for you
Fantastic
The free apps I would love are:-
http://www.appbrain.com/app/dexter/com.showtime.dexter
http://www.appbrain.com/app/hbo/com.hbo.android.activity
http://www.appbrain.com/app/amc-mobile/com.amctv.mobile
They are all region controlled so only available to the US for download.
So annoying!
If someone could put this on host with multiupload or whatever that would be perfect and really appreciated

Here you go buddy, hope they work:
Download
They probably would try to check for location even on starting.
A workaround is to use fake location apps. from the Market. Once you set the fake US location you can download and stream from any country.
Sorry to hijack but is there a way to watch shows like True Blood and Dexter without having a subscription to HBO or Showtime?
The best and legal way to do it is to stream it. There is an android app called amo Navi-x that will do that for you. On your computer you can use XBMC or Boxee with the respective Navi-x app.
Jgaf!
A million thanks to you sir!
Strangely the HBO app wont work on my Nook but it works on my phone. Apart from that all great.
Really appreciate your help there )
As for seeing the shows, personally I download them ^
They do show on Norwegian tv but always much later than in the US and I prefer watching them at a time that suits me also.
I have a media box that plays every media format and watch them in HD from that on my big screen.

I got the app and downloaded an episode of True Blood but it doesn't play well with Mobo. The audio isn't sync'd with the video and it only plays for about a minute and then cuts off. Bummer.
I use my Nook as a player for videos and have no issues with mp4 720p videos.

It gets illegal whe you share the file, meaning when you uploaded it or are sharing (i.e. torrents). Watching a streaming video is legal, the only one breaking the law is the person who uploaded and maybe the server owner where it is.

Can someone post a link to the app (not on the market). TWC site says compatible with Honeycomb tablets but Market show my HC gTablet as not compatible. Yes I know this is a Motorola Xoom forum but the TWC site says it has been certified for Xoom so I figured to get help here sooner). Thanks.

Yeah, if you have a Xoom you can see/download it, but I have a gTablet with Honeycomb. My tablet shows as not compatible although the TWC web site says it is designed to run on all Honeycomb tablets (which mine is). So, I'm asking someone to post it somewhere where I can download it.
Ohh. Sorry. Don't know where my mind is.

I have the same problem. I guess someone with a Xoom or Galaxy is going to have to download it, then export the .apk. TW customer service doesn't know what I should do.

Hope the android app builds in native support!

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.

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?

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

I don't know how many of you have used or own or owned jailbroken apple stuff but one of the best apps on apple was/is . Well they came up with an app finally on android and its awesome especially on the HTC one. Its like Netflix but a thousand times better and you don't need to sign up and pay monthly. enjoy all the latest movies and TV shows updated daily and on this beast phone. O and its an app just forgot to mention that!
Good find, thanks for sharing! There's lots of stuff on there been wanting to see.
Sweet! I was able to sideload onto my Sony Google Box and am streaming on my HDTV! Beats the hell out of Netflix!

Anyone know how to integrate this to use with my ChromeCast? I mean without downloading the video & using strictly the streaming feature.

I know on some tvs if you go from your phone you can choose third party player and it will stream. Also if you have Google TV Gmail the app to yourself and you can install it on your Google TV and it works that's what I did also. Now apple fans have one less advantage over android haha and you don't have to root your phone unlike the iPhone! Haha when using the third party player choose chomecast if you have to use an app if not you can always try the app cheapcast but that usually goes to another device ie. Phone to tablet but I don't have a ChromeCast to test it on I may try to go to my friends house and test it for you
WOW showbox has this season of "SONs of anarchy" which I dont think netflix or hulu has and one reason why I couldn't ditch my outrageous cost of direct tv. If this showbox lasts, maybe I can finally CUT THE CORD!!!
And with my LG smart internet tv, I just "play to TV"
You know they're gonna pull the plug on us soon...this app is too good to be true! I would even pay for this one!!
This app has been on iPhone for a long time I doubt they will pull the plug.

Yes, I have an MHL adapter. Haven't tried it yet with this, but I'm wondering if you can send it to the TV wirelessly from the phone without downloading the movie. I can do that in the Gallery by choosing the LG TV under Select Player.
You can try sending it over Dlna to the TV with the flipps app (formerly imedia share). I haven't had much luck with that in the past though. Miracast adapter should work wirelessly too though. There are a lot on the web, htc 's is the medialink

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone had managed to find/get live tv on chromecast.. I have showbox and cartoonsHD streaming fine with avia but just can't find an app that has an option to open with. I would love tv catchup or filmon. To be able to cast.
Cheers
The BBC iPlayer mobile app lets you stream, via Chromecast, live TV in addition to the usual prerecorded programmes. Oddly you can only Chromecast prerecorded programmes via their website.
XDA frowns upon mentioning apps like Showbox, since it is considered a pirate app. With that being said have you tried to cast a tab with a live program from chrome? I have no idea if it would work, but it's worth a shot.

You can try this but it needs Bubble UpNP Server (In a PC) for transcoding : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W02V0Y_Bq0&feature=youtu.be
Well this problem with the cord cutters may soon be solved...
US Supreme court heard arguments in ABC vs Aereo and if they rule in Aereo's favor I would expect them to expand their launch into many more regions than they are in now.
May not help those outside of the US but those within who want to cut the cord will be able to do so because Aereo has plans for CCast support.
It may even have it now I don't know as I am waiting for the court decision before I sign up.
Seems it can be done with the filmon app

You could try PlayOn (now available with free Chromecast!). But PlayOn relies on your PC to do the streaming and transcoding. For some other platforms like Roku you can use USTVNow to get a live feed of eastern time-zone networks, but it's a a fairly expensive subscription - and doesn't yet support native Chromecast.
