Guest .logan Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 On the ipwd version you can set the quality, helps if you at the end of a 6km bit of copper like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest welshblob Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Controls might be bigger too. Wouldn't mind a screen lock too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would welcome this app but will it to hd? 720p? You better not get your hopes up then as according to their blog, the Android app will still rely on Flash, unlike the iPad's MP4/Quicktime streams.

Guest Sanddancer75 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Nice one cheers It doesn't work!? I get a couple of seconds of video if I'm lucky.

Guest jonnyspuruk Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 works for me just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sanddancer75 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) It's still flakey for me. The picture quality is pretty poor (when it works) too, & I can't see any way to change the quality setting like on my 32" Sony Vega (which looks really nice)? Another quibble is that the front end looks like it's been designed to be used in portrait mode until the video starts? Hopefully they're still working on it? Edit - I've found the quality settings. I'm just going to shut up now. Edited February 10, 2011 by Sanddancer75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest remlap Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Black space for me won't load maybe my build of flash that's optimised for tegra 2? Edit - Works now figured out I had broken flash during updating r8 yesterday. Edited February 10, 2011 by remlap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrewjones Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Still this annouces you will be able to download and stack which isnt currently available to Android users. I am very pleased. I see no ability to download anything using the app - I must assume this feature was either disabled or never included ...

You could try R8 or just use http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen that seems to work well and just add it to home screen/folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TylerDurdenK Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 This is working really well for me, both on prerecorded stuff and live TV. I have set the quality to high and it looks fab, and so far, no buffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevor432990 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yes it's working nicely for me too. Someone mentioned earlier that downloading might be available but I can't see how to do that on this version am I missing something or is it still under development do you think?

I have set the quality to high and it looks fab, and so far, no buffering. I have it set to High quailty, does it look quite pixelated/upscaled to you in full screen mode?
