streaming media on skyfire

Ok so I have been trying to use Skyfire for the last hour now, and have not been able to watch one bit of streaming anything! What am I doing wrong??? Example:
I go to skyfire browser, then I type in justin-tv.com or tikilive.com or hulu.com, and when I try to click on a show, or sport, or something, nothing happens! I know I have the latest version of SkyFire, because I downloaded the latest from Skyfire.com today. Everyone tells me they can watch everything just fine, so why is mine different? Do I need something else on my TP? a flash bundle perhaps??? Can you inform me please?

Sir I will do anything in my power to help, but why do you make a simple thing so hard.. I'm watching beautiful TV using the new latest Skfire web browser that's in my new MultiMedia Super ROM.....

TIPS:

1. Make sure you have a 3g or Wifi connection activated.

2.Login to Skyfire and go to the video website of your choice.

3. Tap on the title of the video that you want to play, that's it.

4. So easy that a caveman can do it...

Ok I'm telling you that is exactly what I have been doing. Here is an example. I went to www.tikilive.com (another user says he like this site) and clicked on FoxNews for example, and it takes me to the screen where it will show the video, but no video appears. With hulu.com, when I click on a video, it tells me I am outside the country and cant use it???
So its not like I haven't tried that stuff already Tech...

How many bars of service do you need to stream media on Skyfire? for example, in my house I get about 2 bars on average...

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?
