well if you have them on ur computer already you can set up an orb account, www.orb.com, and stream them to your ppc using tcpmp.

Another way is once skyfire comes out with a vga version of their browser you can go over to hulu.com and watch whatever stuff they have.

You could also try Sprint Movies and see if it perhaps works in conjunction with Sprint TV http://www.sprint.com/landings/sprin..._MovieTrailers . I'm guessing it'll either be a Pay-per-view or a hefty monthly add on.

If you have a premium cable package you could hook up a slingbox to your cable/satellite receiver and stream hbo or showtime or whatever movie channels you're subscribed too

My last phone was a 6700 and one of my favorite features was the ability to watch movies during the day when am bored. So far I have tried a couple of different settings using DVD Wizard, but the movie playback quality is horrible on WMV. Any suggestion?

use coreplayer it costs money though or use the one from divx themselves

tcpmp is free and the playback is pretty good

+1 ^^^^^^^^^^ TCPMP is the free "beta" of coreplayer

Coreplayer and TCMP are unwatchable on mine. WMP runs the video good but the sound is off a couple of mins.

What settings are you using to play videos? I've tried GDI, raw buffer, direct draw, and QTv Display. QTv showed no video at all and the others will show a picture of the movie then a couple seconds later another one.

Any recommendations? I'm using videos in the H.264 format. Videos on the storage card. The Youtube player plays fine. Music plays fine but videos I can't watch.
