Watch live sports

Gulanowski · #1 (**permalink**) 04-27-2009, 12:56 PM

I'm sure this has come up before, but is there any method/app/site where I'm gonna be able to watch live MLB games? Obviously different networks broadcast different games (FOX, ESPN etc.) , but I'm thinking that there's got to be a way to watch these games live on my phone. I know of MobiTV and I did try out their free 3 day thing a few months ago but I don't recall if it had what I'm looking for.

Gotta be a sports fanatic here who'll know

Darren,

I've heard of this slingbox, sounds intriging. I've looked at their prices and it looks like its $180 for the box and another $30 for the mobl player, so $210 altogether. do you actually have one, could you comment on how it works exactly? Sounds similar to the cgi proxies friends and I used in high school to bypass the firewalls.

EDIT: This slingbox sounds alot like a tv tuner that distributes the signal online. I have a TV tuner on one of my computers. Is there any software available that will distribute the signal online, as well as a player that can receive that signal and play it on another computer and WM6 device?

Fantastic! Works well on my laptop. However, is there a way to watch the streams on a standalone player (Windows Media mobile, TCPMP etc.) instead of using a browser like skyfire?

There is a piece of free software called Orb that works with most tv tuners. You can download the software for free at www.orb.com

Snowman,

I read about Orb a few hours ago and have been playing with it since. Seems like exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm at school and my computer with the TV tuner is at home. Won't be able to try this out till Saturday because finals are this week. I probably shouldn't be doing this **** with finals this week, haha.

Thanks a ton guys, this will be some serious icing on the cake for my titan. Had the phone for almost a year this May and this TV streaming will be sick. Definate bragging rights around my friends haha. Darren, PM in your inbox bud, thanks a ton.

I've used ORB for years, it works great.
Another program you may find useful is Teamviewer. It's free and it lets you log in to your home computer from anywhere and control it as if you were there. I usually leave it running in the background, if I forgot to start ORB or want to do other things like download a show, I use Teamviewer, log in to my HTPC, download a show, then start ORB. Then log in to ORB and Stream it!
