 tenpin784I Went To The Dark Side? join:2001-03-30 New Durham, NH 1 edit | this makes me Really want to setup my Christmas present now. Wife got me an Pro-HD for xmas, just never set it up. Not sure about paying another $30 tho....... | |

 | | Since day one ive been waiting.... YAHOO!! it works! I'm watching my solo on my PHONE on 3G! no more long boring car trips, no more lack of tv! This is just too cool!
Ive paid $30 for an app before, (Logmein ignition) I rarely pay 0.99 For an app. I spend less than $5 on apps per month, but this one is worth every penny. (TBQH, I'm surprised they didn't up the price for the 3g release to $40)
3g playback is a bit choppy on "high" quality, but when I set it to "standard" quality it works well. Note: 3g coverage where I live seldom reaches above 200kbps, I have a feeling it may go down more now :P. | |

BTW this app works very well on edge! (yeah the video quality sucks) but it pretty darn smooth playback for edge! | |

Do you have evidence or data that the Major League Baseball app was "equally bandwidth-intensive"? Or are you just guessing? | |
|
 | | Thrilled I'm just very thrilled that all parties involved finally came to their senses and released the 3g "gimp" on this Iphone Slingplayer app finally as it always should have been. | |
|
 | | Bandwidth..... Anyone else see att doing all of these things because they are doing the upgrades they talked about? I've been doing some speed tests here and there, and my connection is faster than it has ever been, even compared to november.

1 edit | Where I live they added or upgraded the two nearest towers to 3G at one point after the new year- my T-mobile sim still picks them up on edge. Not perfect by any means, as we're in a heavily wooded area and near the end of the towers reach, but it's certainly better than before.

 | | Watching TV on a cell phone Is it really THAT important to be able to watch vidoe or TV on a little tiny cell phone screen? I mean when I was a kid we had an old black and white tube type TV from the mid-sixties and it had a 14" screen. Now I watch TV on a 42" HD flat screen... I mean who the heck wants to go back to the friggin dark ages? Are your lives really that busy, must you really know everything that's going on every minute of the day that you absolutely MUST watch TV on these little devices?
I think it's rediculous. | |

| Re: Watching TV on a cell phone Apparently you've never been bored at an airport, you might not want to lug around a laptop. I will take my smartphone with me to airports so I can use their free wifi, and if the wait is long enough I'll actually watch some streaming media to kill time, at least until the battery runs out. | |

 |  | | Being a diabetic, I log a lot of hours in doctors waiting rooms. Having access to my DVR via my slingbox / iphone is a wonderful way to catch up on my shows while waiting to see the doctor. | |
