out of sync just as all videos seem to be on my desire. Though I'm guessing this will be addressed more by Froyo than by these companies.

You are OK and covered by your home licence to watch your mobile as long as you don't plug the phone in to the mains to charge it, at work for example.
But then they gotta catch you first...

What if you plug it into the laptop and the laptop is on mains? How specific have they been?

even with a good wifi signal I get a weak signal problem that results in an almost unwatchable stream

thats the BEST I've managed to get out of it myself too. I know it can be much better but haven't managed it yet.

I spoke to yamgo and they confirmed that vodafone are blocking the ports
It wouldn't seem so. The private beta, and the regular iPhone version used to work fine over Vodafone 3G, so I'm really not sure what has changed since it went from private to public beta.

I think O2 are blocking the ports needed for tvcatchup, yamgo and myplayer.

So if Vodafone are blocking streaming sites such as these, do any of the more technical minded forum users know how they block it and more importantly if it would be possible to bypass the block say via an app maybe ?
Streaming sites like TVCatchup are one of the things drawing me towards a smartphone, whilst I wouldn't use it all the time, it would come in handy for travelling etc so not being able to do it on Vodafone is a bit of a bum !
Only today on my tea break, a colleague connected to TVCatchup on his Iphone and we watched a bit of the football. Ive been going on to him for some time telling him how great my new desire will be when I get it, although its not a phone issue (its the network) im still gonna look a knob when he asks me to show him the streaming on my new phone
A bit cheesed off with Vodafone for this but im stuck with them coz I can't get a decent signal in my house with anyone else !

But my mates iphone on O2 streams TVcatchup on 3G with no issues !
Why block the desire but allow iphone ?

Just an update on my previous post but I have now successfully got tvcatchup, yamgo and Myplayer working on my Desire.
I had to go into the DMZ settings in my Router and type in the IP Address, there's a helpful thread and a helpful OP on the following forum and thread if anyone is still unable to use tvcatchup or other such streaming services via Wi-Fi: TVCatchup on Android almost with us... - TVCatchup Forums

The iPhone must use different streams to the Android ones. Not sure why one would be blocked and not the other though.

Thanks v much for this. Just tried it on WiFi at home and its quality is so much better than yamgo. Was unable to get on yamgo to watch footie so will try this at work tomorrow.

Tvcatchup, Yamgo and myplayer all work on my T-Mobile desire.

MyPlayer works fine on my HTC Desire - quite impressive, actually, but definitely for use through WiFi only (as I was) - but when using TV Catchup and selecting (say) BBC1 I just get the message "The content is not supported" and further dialogs saying that no application can be found for the content, with an offer to download it instead.
Anyone else had the same problem?

Can you watch MyPlayer all the way through a program, like Beebplayer it stops after 5 minutes and I have to come out and resume again from that point, does it every 5 minutes which can be annoying.
