I never watch any of that stuff on my PPC, but I just tried Hulu on Skyfire and it tells me "Unfortunately, this video is not available on your platform. We apologize for the inconvenience."

There was a change (I think this past weekend) where hulu blocked Skyfire (and possibly other) browsers from accessing the site. I haven't seen a work around yet.

You are 1000% correct....! Most people do not want to take their time and learn about the SkyFire browser, that's why they have problems... Then the first thing they will say, the browser is no good, when it's actually them... The Skyfire browser is sweet, I go here all the time, get all the TV you will ever want, http://www.beta.sling.com no SlingBox required.....

Yeah a few of us tried the beta.sling.com and couldn't get anything. Is it up yet?

D- I just downloaded SkyFire to my TP today at like 10am eastern from www.skyfire.com. Are you saying there is an even newer version of SkyFire they posted today?

On another note, when in the Skyfire browser, does anyone else constantly get stuck on 'authenticating'? You know, the little red progress bar at the bottom of your screen when on SkyFire that shows the download progress. Mine constantly gets stuck on 'authenticating' and I have to menu/exit skyfire in order to get it back to normal...

TIA

That is the exact message I get on Hulu. Tikilive, looks like it is playing a video but shows nothing, can someone else try www.tikilive.com on their TP and maybe their PC to see if they get the same results?
