TV on Treo - Treo Forums

PickDR · 12-19-2006, 01:12 AM

I wanted to get a slingbox, but I guess it doesn't support Palm OS.
Are there any alternates that would allow me to watch tv on my treo 650?

thanks

well you coiuld use slingbox on your palm but you would have to have your pc up all the time. look into orb and slingbox. What that will allow you todo is play anything from your computer on to your palm.

Second option is mobit tv. Which IMHO sucks. Cuz you only get 20 stations and the quality isn;t that good. You could get better quality on orb than mobi tv.

Also, orb is free.

There was a huge "Handheld TV" hype a year or so ago, and everyone went crazy over it until they realized one thing:

It's not very good...

I'm afraid that there really aren't any great options for watching TV on your treo at this time, especially since it's a 650. Data transfer just isn't quite fast enough with EDGE to give you good quality, and the services that are out there don't even utilize the bandwidth the way they could.

Support for it has kind of died down... But, who knows.

Kinoma 4 is the only way i ever got orb to work on my 650 and it's flaky at best.
