Saweet that worked!! Thx Vash and Andason. Its alot better w/ sound :mrgreen:

Yay 4 Juggs 10-20-2007 12:15 PM

dood this is friggin BA!!! and to change it from landscape mode just check off in the settings window to not run full screen always...then shut the app down...then restart the app!

tayhadar1 10-20-2007 12:28 PM

This is really cool and just got it working.

So does anybody know for sure if this will incur any additional charges. I have a SERO plan with unlimited data of course...

First post ftw!!

SINNN 10-20-2007 12:46 PM

wILLk0r3 818 10-20-2007 01:13 PM

Jjyyeahhh!!! That's tight, it works!! Too bad I don't have a Sprint TV Premier subscription! But I'll take whatever I can get, thanks man!

letsgoflyers81 10-20-2007 01:16 PM

Sprint's Touch will have SprintTV, so I'll bet that's where this app came from. Well, now to give it a try.

xdalaw 10-20-2007 01:20 PM

Amazing find and thanks for sharing!

imneveral0ne 10-20-2007 01:32 PM

do you guys think that if i subscribed to sprint tv premium or whatever that it would work for this seeing as how its not an "official" release?

canospinach 10-20-2007 01:57 PM

I took this from the Sprint Website
 
I took this from the Sprint Website - It appears as though basic TV is included in PowerVision.

http://www1.sprintpcs.com/explore/ue...=multimedia100

Sprint Power Vision Access Pack
-------------------------------------
Sprint Music – up to 10 radio channels
Sprint TV – NFL network, The Weather Channel, Fox Sports, E!, CNN – and more!
Sprint Navigation (pay per use/$2.99 day) – dodge traffic, find the nearest restaurants or lowest gas prices. See your progress on a moving map with spoken turn-by-turn directions
Unlimited Data Access
Sprint Mobile Email
Picture Mail
Unlimited Web Browsing
On Demand
NFL Mobile

Sprint Power Vision TV Pack
---------------------------------
Everything in the Power Vision Access Pack AND MORE:
Sprint TV Premier – More TV. Up to 20 additional channels including live TV, national network channels and children's programming
Sprint Power Vision Ultimate Pack
Everything in the Power Vision Access, Music, TV and Navigation Packs including:
Sprint TV Premier
Sprint Music Premier
Unlimited Sprint Navigation


Personally what jumps out at me is the navigation. I may want to upgrade my PowerVision plan just to get extra TV channels and Unlimited Navigation!

I have to say it rocks over WiFi and if you use the headset it sounds far better. I am going to have to do a comparison for quality sound/stations against Resco pocket radio.


BTW- a little off topic, Sprint warrantied my 6700 for a 6800 yesterday after the guy ahead of me got the last refurb 6700 in San Diego (there are more refurb 6700's available in the major markets, more coming here). FYI you need a 6800 as the 6700 is supposedly not supported, Also it appears the WM Treo's are not supported either (non-WM-Centro is supported).

rhaley10 10-20-2007 02:04 PM

hmm, im getting the same error as brandon 387 from page 5 about the error channel not available (7000)...any suggestions of what we may be doing wrong?...

first post =)

enrique1980la 10-20-2007 02:10 PM

6800 mogul

Is there any fees using this program beside Sprint Vision? Would this work while I'm connected to Wi-Fi?

I tried running the Discovery Channel and it asked me if I wanted to subscribe to a "Premium Channel". Looks like it will ask you before incurring more charges. Meantime, other than trying a channel I don't see a way to tell ahead of time if a channels is free or not.

canospinach 10-20-2007 02:35 PM

Are you sure this is in the right thread?

perhaps you are looking for a different thread which discusses browsing websites via PIE.

If you are referring to the .cab for this thread you need to be logged in to view/download attachments, which through PIE may be difficult.

Many members will tell you to "Search" the forums prior to posting such a generic question as this without further clarification (Yup search is easy and painless).

rijc99 10-20-2007 02:43 PM

The first cab file was a 1.8mb cab file while the second was a about half that... any differences?

I posted the breakdown, here is the link again. There appear to be 2 TV packages if you have a compatible phone.

canospinach 10-20-2007 02:53 PM

ones a real .zip, ones not

I believe the first one is simply the .CAB file with a .ZIP extension added so its uncompressed while the second is the .CAB file in a .ZIP so its compressed down.

Personally i took the 1st ".CAB.ZIP" file and used it. Seems to be working very well.

:-) Of course to be bandwidth conscious i suppose we should all just download the 2nd (smaller) file.

wickedklown 10-20-2007 03:03 PM

Yes both files are the same application-wise. The site doesnt allow .cab file uploads so I uploaded the full cab and added the ".zip" cuz im noob and dont know how to covert it to an actual .zip. lol i almost didnt upload it for that reason. ](*,) Pibe converted to .zip format for convenience. Thx Pibe.

Chuck 10-20-2007 03:12 PM

I just tried this on a Verizon XV6700 and it actually works! Should I be concerned about using this application on the Verizon network?

Thanks,
Chuck

I'm quite a noob regarding issues regarding pda's, but seems to me the only requirement would be to delete the .cab file in question. I dunno for sure, but seems like it ought to work.

It's just because the first file is the uncompressed CAB with a ZIP extension. I took that CAB, renamed it, and compressed into a ZIP file. It is the same exact file.

At the moment, attachments are not available when browsing using the mobile interface, however, you can use this direct link to the attachment:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/images/sty...attach/zip.gifSprintTVUpgrade1000.zip

Also, please remember this application just surfaced so we may not have many answers about how it works yet... just stay patient.

If I were to guess, the amount of channels available depends on the Vision package you have. In most of our cases, it is the basic one since we only need the EVDO access, hence giving us only the basic channels.

But this is only a guess!!!

Actually, no.

CABs are just like installers. If you delete the installer file, it will not delete the app after being installed.

I have not installed this yet, so I can't corroborate if it shows under Remove Programs or not. Did you not back up?

Always back up before installing a new/uncomfirmed app.

yeh i didnt back up. dont have a back up program installed. i know shame on me. its not a big deal that i cant uninstall it but if i can i probably will. usually i wait till many others test it out but i was bored and didnt want to wait.

Have you tried connecting to a PC and check the Add/Remove Programs on ActiveSync? It's a long shot, but it's a shot...

no i have not tried that. ill give that a shot right now.

EDIT: its not there. looks like it installs like how "On Demand" is on the device. o well. my device is running fine with it. i just wanted to try it out but since i have a slingbox i wont really be using it.

what if i just delete "Sprint TV" folder in the program files on the device? I'm sure this wouldnt work and doesnt sound like a good idea but thought i would ask.

ninjaclipse 10-20-2007 03:58 PM

Ive Had it on my phone for about a month now. I got mine from a touch, we got to play with before its release.

I work for ATS for sprint. We get phones to play with, and try to break a few months before its launch.

So we extracted all of the cabs from the phone and installed it :D

Yeah, I believe it would work just the same, why would it not?

I had the same issue with the 7000 error, all I did to get past it was click on the touch screen and it bypassed the tutorial video or whatever and took your right to the channel selection screen. I hope that helps, it works great for me!

imneveral0ne 10-20-2007 04:59 PM

so has anyone taken the plunge yet and subscribed to one of the services?

wILLk0r3 818 10-20-2007 05:06 PM

To better re-word it, whoever has the Power Vision "ULTIMATE PACK" (or wants to test the monthly add-on) please let us know if all the channels work. I'm almost positive they well, why not? I personally wouldn't subscribe extra per month though.

imneveral0ne 10-20-2007 05:29 PM

i just subscribed to sprint tv live and it works, im calling now to see if they have any charges on my account for it
