Yes, I read that and everysingle post in this thread, that still doesn't really "confirm" anything, how do you know they use the same servers for pda's and cell phones? All he/she said that on another cell phone it's working.

If it were a MobiTV issue, other SprintTV devices would not work either.

I mean, there really is no way to "confirm" this anyway. How do you know they use the same servers for the same coasts/states/cities for that matter?

I think it's safe to assume they blocked the WM application due to users on others networks gaining access to the service without being on Sprint's network. They'll probably work it out and release a new version when the Touch is out.

I doubt they will put this on the Touch and negate other PPC users from the service.

Once again, this is all speculation from all of our sides since we have a way of knowing. The only thing we know for a fact, is that everyone that has posted here has no access to the service from their WM PPC devices.

Your absolutely right. Until they formerly announce it, this is officially a "grey" area.

My comment about MobiTV being the issue was how it was explained to me. My source did not go into detail and we only briefly touched on it. My meetings with them are usually very focused on other issues.

Sprints other TV program for the non WM phones is i believe a java app cooked into the OS (like we do our ROM's). If anything the WM version is new and may just be having issues due to an unexpected amount of traffic on a product version which is not officially released yet


Side note:

the STV app contains DRM which generates a unique subscriber key. This key uses handset info to generate helping to insure uniqueness/validity. This along with some other info allows them to document the service request on the Sprint proxys. If you look inside the app you will find this key. Much like say a Windows install, when you fire up the app it checks a database on the server to see what services your player is approved for.

i actually have a subscription to sprint tv on a 700p and its not working so i'm thinking its a mobitv issue. i emailed sprint tech support so if and when they get back to me i'll post the info

A friend of mine who's running this on his T-Mobile Wing (using T-Mobile's network) was able to get some of the channels working.

Only that Paris Hilton "Can Can" clip on E! worked. Everything else was error 7000.

Can you use this "Sprint TV" program if you don't have Sprint as a cell phone provider??? I have a HTC 6800 but my service is through Alltel

[mogulworld]

well I tried it again this morning and it still says 7000 error

When I launch the application, I now get this message:

"Thank you for testing Sprint TV on the Touch. Content is currently unvailable in preparation for final launch."
