Hey all, I just started using Slacker and it freakin awesome !! I no longer use my iPod to work out. I have a few movies on the phone but i was wonder is there any site or app to watch tv shows? I tried to watch Netflix and Hulu and I couldn't get them working, but that would be cool. Have you guys used anything that does this free?
Thanks all.

Buy a Slingbox, then you can watch anything you want (I get over 200 cable TV channels including HBO, Cinemax etc etc on my TP2)

That does look cool, but pricey for a toy. I was looking for something like a mobile Hulu or something free. But wow, that does seem like a cool gadget.

plus one. you might be able to watch family guy on hulu, but watching hbo, the real espn, mtv, and everything else beats it! plus, if you're cable or sat tv is on demand, you can watch whatever, whenever.

+1 for slingbox. I will not own a phone that does not support this app.

+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.

So why don't you use the output from your cable box into your slingplayer?? I've been slinging since slingplayer first came out. I've got 2 now, the original classic sling and the sling pro. Both still work with the latest mobile player.

Glad to hear the classic still works! I have no DCA available where the Slingbox is currently located. I think I'll have to get a wireless N access point and move it to my bedroom where one of the HD boxes resides.

Thanks again,

Can you use both slingboxes with one mobile player or do you have to buy one for each box?
