Not finding a way to use my Windows Phone license for Android.
Sling Media Support - Did you replace your handheld and get a new one? Want to know if you can transfer your registration?
If I move to Froyo down the road, will I have to rebuy? This link is no help for Android users, but I'd imagine it is the same process as iPhone, but we dont have iTunes to save our apps...

I have done factory resets and was able to redownload all my purchased apps. When searching the market they are tagged as purchased and i just download them again.

Awesome, just what I was waiting for, problem is the EVO is sold out like crazy, and now I'm thinking of getting the Galaxy S Pro, which has a full keyboard, and an AMOLED screen.

One question, if you watch a recorded program, can you fast forward it to skip the commercial crap..., and if you can, do you have to wait forever for it to start playing after you press the Play button or does it resume playing right away? and does it have 4x, 15x, 60x, 300x forward speeds like the DVR does?

You'll be able to redownload the app to any Android phone you get.

The EVO is my 8th Android phone, and all my paid apps transferred.

Go with the EVO, size matters for slingplayer It looks awesome!!

I watched a couple shows on my Directv DVR and it has the same functionality as the regular remote. I was very surprised how little buffer and lag there was, it works flawlessly over WiFi and excellent over 3G. Ive been rocking the slingplayer since my Palm Treo and also on Windows Mobile, but the interface with this new version blows them all away! Only downside to the software is you cannot do any kinds of hardware tweaks with audio or video streaming, the program sets everything automatically. Also, I didnt see an Audio Only option which i use sometimes at the gym for certain sporting events, but hey, its Version 1.0! I'm sure there will be some improvements along the way.

Definitely looking forward to getting 4G in my area now! (Orange County).

Is disabling "slingstream" not an option?

So you need hardware at your house too? Sorry I'm new to this.

There are no hardware options at all from the phone.

Roger that.

I'm pretty interested in buying a slingbox for this.

For those using it; how does it work? Is the picture/sound better than Sprint TV? Does it work on 3G, 4G, and WiFi?

What else should I know?

Thanks!

 

[jrog28]

The quality over 3g is not good for me. Anyone else?
