SprintTV
Why does my HTC EVO have such a nice large screen, but it does not play a full screen in "full screen mode?"

Why is there only a single episode of Royal Pains that I can view in its entirety? I can only view partial episodes and countless "behind the scenes interviews" kind of things?

Is Sprint TV just an advertisement for things I can watch on TV?

I do have a good word about the Sprint TV on EVO, as this is the first device where watching SprintTV has even been a usable experience.

Because SprintTV is still optimized for older phones with small screens unfortunately

I've been thinking about getting a slingbox since picking up a 2nd EVO last month and sticking with it this time. How is it on the EVO?

Slingbox is awesome. Initial cost is a little high but its a one time thing and it is definitely worth it.

Re: SprintTV
Since I got my slingbox back in my Touch Pro/Touch Pro II days, I don't think I have even opened Sprint TV. It is pretty much rendered useless in comparison.

Re: SprintTV
When I first got my EVO, Sprint TV ran flawlessly, crystal clear and without any hiccups. Since then, maybe since upgrading to Froyo or other HTC updates, it is choppy, laggy and completely worthless. Methinks Sprint did something intentionally to lower the capacity and bandwidth of making Sprint TV watchable.

IOW, the PPs are correct. It is now useless.
