Help Mobile TV with HD Not Working

I have had my phone for a few days now and I started the trial of mobil tv. After it plays content for around 30 seconds I get an error message 8000042, saying it cannot connect to network. I've tried this with 2 other galaxy 4g phones in 3 different locations all with strong 4g signal, 5 megs download and 2 upload and they all get the same error message. I then tried hooking up my ipod via tethering to my galaxy and launched mobi tv on there with no problems whatsoever. After calling mobil tv customer support they said they phone was brand new and have not heard of any problems yet. Can anyone out there please confirm my problems?

Thanks!!
 
I'm not sure but I'm going to find out. T Mobile TV is the ONLY TV I have now! And I pay for this service. Before this Galaxy I had a Vibrant- both of which I won at work for sales competitions. I want to give this Galaxy S away if the Mobi TV app keeps giving me this 8000042 error. People say I'm stupid for that, but why have a phone if it doens't do what you want?? I don't care how cool it is....

And we have 4G where I live in Hickory NC, believe it or not. The Galaxy is freekin awesome too, but I don't know why this new version locks up with the TV app.

Let me say that I saw online a few people were having this same problem- even though at this time the Galaxy S is pretty new- and they recommended that I reset the phone, hard reset.

I DID hard reset the phone and it worked all that night. Today, a week later it's back to it again.. Because I'm so desperate, I'm going to hard reset it again, but this sucks.

Now, I added Mr. Number, Advanced task killer, and one or two other apps.. That MAY be the culprit- especially the task killer, but I'm seeing more of a gradual decline- less and less time passes between me hitting the MSNBC button and the phone getting the swirling circle and then the network error.

I'll get back.. If anyone else has found a solution , please reply to this!!!!!!!!!

I just purchased a samsung galaxy s from t-mobile and I am having the exact same problem with the tv ... it plays for about a minute or less and then freezes up and gives the error code 80000042....
