Sprint TV on Touch Pro

painkillaz · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2008, 12:09 PM

Does anybody have the same problem of horrible video quality and lagging? Sprint TV is so bad on my phone its not practical to even use it. When I watched it on my Mogul it was a lot better. I know people have said the higher resolution screen will make the feed look worse but what explains the lag? I'll have almost full bars and it will still lag.

Thanks in advance

I've noticed that to, Sprint TV on my Mogul wasn't nearly as bad as far as quality and sync issues, on my Touch Pro most of the videos are unwatchable.

I have like one bar and it works perfectly. Must be your area? I had an instinct that acted the way you're describing. The difference between the tv on my tp and my instinct is HUGE. The instinct would actually lock up and soft reset...

I'm in northern Va, how about you?

It's horrible.

I should try it using Wifi (if that works) and see if there's much of a difference in quality.

Can't use Sprint TV with the Wifi connection, only through Sprint's network. I'm experiencing some of the same problems.

i think we're due for an official ROM upgrade for the Sprint TV app -- it's so much better on my wife's LG Lotus than mine

The only thing about that is that when I was using my Mogul, it was actually watchable, it didn't lag that much. The only thing that changed was the phone from a mogul to the touch pro. I am in Dallas, Tx

Sprint TV sucks on my Pro as well. Video clips work fine but NFL Network for live games lags, buffers and quits enough to make it unusable.

Try Orb and then you can watch anything that is on your desktop media center. I find the quality excellent! Orb is freeeee.
