I can't get anything to load on Hulu.
It just keeps on LOADING forever.

Nobody finds videos lagging when watching on Skyfire through atdhe.net or justin.tv? I'm hoping to use Orb but I can't get my TV tuner to work with it... Slingbox seems kind of expensive.

Ditto. Just tried with the version of Skyfire on my TP2, and installed the latest from m.skyfire.com, pick a video and it gets stuck on Loading.....

With ORB try different versions. One version works with my tuner for Live TV, but not with Videos on my PC. Another version plays videos, but no Live TV. Hope they get it together, it used to work flawlessly back when I had an Apache, LOL!

Have you tried the MobiTV App. Has quite a few channels!

it's not all hulu's fault. they didn't have mobile broadcasting rights from the networks. that is why it was not allowed. I also hadn't heard that it had been worked out.

+3 on the inifinite loading........

also, still skyfire 1.5 so I don't think there has been a winmo update in a while. just the android release last month.

gullzway, which tv tuner do you happen to have? And which OS are you on? I have a Pinnacle PCTV Pro running on Windows 7. I think another tv tuner that works would be cheaper than Slingbox.

How's the quality?

Oh nevermind. I tried it again with the latest version and it works... albeit not as well as I'd like it to.

Wirelessly posted (VZW TP2: Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/5.0.3521/886; U; en) Presto/2.4.15)

does slingmobile work at wvga on tp2 now? or is it still small screen?

Yep, they have a newer version of the player. It forces landscape mode, but it works much better than the first version.

Here's some screenshots. Unfortunately, my current 1X connection and the jpegs are not doing it justice.

+1 more. I'll have the Phils on in my office this afternoon.

That said, I have to do something about my slingbox.. it's old, the current player says it's not fully supported and on top of that Comcast went digital so I only get the few analog channels.
