TELUS mobile TV

Has anyone used the TELUS Mobile TV application? I can't seem to use Full Screen while watching TV. Whenever I select "full screen" under the options menu while watching a channel, the screen flashes and immediately goes back to standard size. Any help appreicated.

Mine doesn't even open. It has a connection error. Do you need to have this service activated?

I got mine to open, I got to watch th dmeo. Its not free you have to Subcribe at a cost of $15.00 a month. Why does Telus even bother putting this crap on their handsets is beyond me.

its wierd, at first mine kept giving me a connection error, however after a bit, it connected and it asks you to accept the terms. Now here is the catch, if you accept, they will automatically add 15 bucks a month to your bill, with out notification, good old sneaky telus. so think twice.

I better call C.S in the morning and make sure they didn't charge me for watching the demo

I accepted the Mobile TV agreement and closed the program after watching part of the demo. I've just checked my Telus eCare transaction history and plan details, and there is no mention of the Mobile TV subscription.

Yes, you have to accept the agreement AND agree to activate the subscription. Watching the demo does not activate the $15/month subscription.

$15/month is WAY over priced for TV on a handset.... However, if you get it for free, it's quite nice.

I was able to get Full Screen to work in Landscape...

Is there an app that streams free tv to your TP2?
