CSTV on smartphone

[Newsbreaker]

Has anyone tried watching a UNI home game on a smartphone?

My wife's best friend from childhood is getting married Saturday (sounds like no friend to me - friends don't let friends have fall weddings). I'm desperate to watch the game, of course.

Any and all alternatives appreciated and accepted. SAVE ME!!!!!

Skip the wedding. I've done it twice in the last few years and both ended in divorce.

I kid of course, I'm sure if you wanted to get out of it, you would.

Not sure why anyone schedules a wedding when they know they have friends and family who are football fans.

I would guess CSTV will not work. I don't think the format is supported.

I know blackberry does not support live streaming video.

Not sure about other PDA's.

People who have fall weddings on Saturdays=terrible people.


News, just pretend you have the swine flu the morning of, and when she leaves for the wedding early, you speed over to CF. Perfect plan.

I've done everything short of burning down homes, folks.

I use a browser called "skyfire" that supports live streaming, but not pop-ups. At least, it should support live streaming...it supports flash/quicktime/widows media, etc.

PDA needs to support QuickTime for video. I think the iPhone would be the only thing that does that. Otherwise, you might have to find a SIU broadcast on a stream.

No wedding lasts 3 1/2-4 hours. Sweat out the 20-30 minute ceremony then excuse (politely) yourself for several and LONG restroom breaks during dinner/reception. You can find tv, or, at least GR on radio somewhere. Actually, GR is way better than the goofy comcast crew. BTW, did anyone else notice how BAD the camera crew did on Saturday's game? I mean, come on, I would like to see the ball caught on pass plays and punts/kick offs. They really SUCKED!!!!

Catholic wedding. The pope and I are in a fight.

I'm probably going to resort to taking a small radio/earphone, though I might try streaming the audio only to my phone and listening that way.

Sounds like you are all over it. Enjoy the game; I mean wedding.

BlackBerry/RIM DOES support streaming video, just depends what OS and model you're on. Some older models/OS do not support it.

You need a smartphone that supports Adobe Flash 9 for Stretch Internet. BlackBerry has plans to support soon. Adobe said last week BlackBerry, WinMo, Palm WebOS, Google Android, and Symbian phones will get it.
Apple probably never will support it. Mainly being you can't run more than one application at once on the iphone, which limits the iphone's ability to handle stuff like this.

Better just follow via gametracker/listen via audio.

You might take a look at Orb.com. They have a system that allows tv, audio, etc to be redirected much like a slingbox. You may need some extra equipment if you want to rebroadcast a tv signal.

I don't know about the smartphone but an alternative is to let them know you can't be around people on Saturday because you have the swine flu.

The only person watching the game that didn't notice it was Stevie Wonder.

Re: CSTV on smartphone

Does anyone know of a free video through the same service I can test to see if it works?

TIA.

Re: CSTV on smartphone

They don't respect you enough to not have a Saturday wedding in the fall, but they expect you to respect them enough to attend? If you aren't a groomsman, you are not required to be there.
