What are the best TV and Radio Apps you've used for the Touch Pro2? Skyfire is gone and Sprint TV doesn't work. If it costs a few bucks to buy, I don't care. I just don't want a subscriptions as I would use these very seldom.

Try SBP TV and it's free and also "thestreamcenter.com" also free

I did try SPB TV...twice. It causes the phone to freeze and kills the voice command capabilities of the phone. TheStreamCenter.com got my heart palpatating, but I haven't had any success with it yet. The first station I tried told my Flash was out of date. AFAIK, it's impossible to update past the 3.1 that I have. (Same as Flash 7 for Windows.)

Slacker Radio are some really confused puppies. I signed up and it said to go to Slacker.com with my phone to get started. They redirected me to a URL that had syntax errors, so naturally it didn't work. I started a chat with support I said I had a Touch Pro2 with stock ROM and WM 6.5. They said that Microsoft never actually released that OS. I told them they still sell phones with it, and there are far more versions of that out there than there ever will be with WP7. They said "Microsoft doesn't support it, so we don't develop for it. We only make it for the HD2." I told him the HD2 ships with WM 6.5.

I think I'll just buy a bunch of MP3s.

Edit: I later found a version of Slacker Radio on a free software site. I installed it on my TP2, and when I launched it, it said I needed to upgrade. It updated itself, and has been working fine since.

i like pocket tunes and openwebradio for music.

I got hooked on p-tunes from old palm phone and been using it on touch pro since (not free for winmo though)

openwebradio is good, free too. But you have to select your stations

There's a dead ringer. Even if you're just looking for the addresses of the common radio stations on line for a player, this is where to get the information you need. WOW!

OPenWebRadio is very good, TheStreamCenter has about every station there is, and shows the info you need to set them up in OpenWebRadio, or just listen to TCMP or Windows Media Player.

TV is the only one I'm doing poorly with. The only good TV app I have found is the one from Associated Press. I have MyPlayer, and pointed to Windows Media Player and for Flash I installed Flash 3.1, and pointed it to appzone.exe. I did giet it to work. Most of the channels they show don't work, including their example, and nobody would want to watch most of the rest of what they have. Since commercials pay for programming, I would think every over-the-air TV station would have a web feed but that doesn't seem to be the case, and the ones that do, often are down. I seems nearly every radio station does have a feed.

I use "The Channer" on wm 6.5 for viewing tv on my phone

I didn't have any luck with "The Channer"
RoscoPocket Radio would work if you lived in the United Kingdom because that's where the vast majority of the stations are from.

I guess I'll stick with what I have.
