Guest agul4 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Ok, so I got a text from T-Mobile saying that Sky TV is now available, but apparently the Vario II is not a compatible handset although the Vario III is. Has anyone managed to get this working on a Vario II? If so, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pd.ryder Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) BTW, there's plenty better (and free!) TV streams available which run in WMP at full screen. Try a few on here: Streaming PDA The BBC News 24 runs faultlessly as does the SciFi Channel. Many are foreign language, but there's plenty that aren't. ;) Edited November 23, 2007 by pd.ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pd.ryder Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Sky TV is available through T-Mobile TV, which is why T-Mobile sent you the text rather than Sky ;) The Vario II is not listed on the 'compatible handsets' list from T-Mobile and as such a link is not available which is why I posted one that works. The SciFi Channel mentioned is not a ppv channel via T-Mobile TV, it is a webstream direct from the SciFi channel. The link offered via Streaming PDA fires up WMP and away you go, so I don't know how/why you're being asked to login. The direct link is here: SciFi Channel I hope that helps. :( PS it works just as well on your PC... Edited November 23, 2007 by pd.ryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not really sure you understand what I'm trying to get across. T-Mobile offer 3 services, they offer T-Mobile TV, Sky TV and Video on Demand. T-Mobile TV is limited to streaming a few select channels whereas Sky TV offers more 'Sky channels' - it's specifically the Sky TV channels I want to get hold of but, as you say, apparently my handset is not compatible which I find hard to believe. The Vario II and III are almost the same handset with minor variances so I'm wondering why my handset is not compatible when the Vario III is. My question was, has anyone got Sky TV working on the Vario II and if so, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now just says "waiting" I see what you mean :( I was only watching at work on nights this time last week :D I'll try it again later or I'm in for a long night. I know there's sometimes nothing on the stream, but I've never seen this before ;) Yeah, I'm not really sure you understand what I'm trying to get across.

My question was, has anyone got Sky TV working on the Vario II and if so, how? Yeah, I did realise that. I haven't used T-Mobile TV since the 'free' trial stopped as I wasn't prepared to pay a quid a day for the low quality pap they were serving up. I got that link initially from another WinMo site due to the VII not being recognised on the T-Mo site. TBH I'd assumed there would be links from that linked T-Mo 'Now & Next' page to include Sky's offering. I have to admit, I've never tried it because I'll not cough up another £5/month into Murdoch's media machine - it should be available free to my mobile using my Sky loggin! The last time I did check it out, it was only available to Nokias!!! However, I will check out Sky's Mobile TV from their homepage and I'll post on SkyUser.co.uk and see if there's any help there... So there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
