NHL Gamecenter

...glad to have a dedicated hockey app but, the free version still doesn't compare to the NFL mobile app. As for watching games I go to channelsurfing.net.
 
ok i know its against the rules. i am on verizon but running MIUI and dont have verizon apps. is there anything i can do??

Hmm, for some reason I can't watch anything via Wi-Fi, only 3g.

I decided to give the Live version a try and what's funny is that if the video quality is set to normal, i can't watch any live video. All streams are pixelated. If i switch to high video quality, everything streams perfectly, both over 3g and wifi.
 
I have the NHL Center Ice package on Dish Network and use my Slingbox to stream the games to my laptop and Droid (and can watch it on the TV).
 
Has anyone got live? Does the $80 include gamecenter on your computer or just the phone? I would get if it was both.. But I cant find any info on it.




EDIT: Well nvm maybe. Gamecenter on computer is $159.. unless verizon customers get a hefty discount I guess it is just for phone =( Pretty UNREASONABLE.. isnt the NFL app like 30 bucks for the season..? MLB one is pretty cheap too.
 
Does anyone with a Droid X have the Game Center Live and has used the HDMI out to there tv? Just wondering how good it looked..
 
For Verizon customers. If you have Vcast video, they have the features of the premium video content in there. To me, that coupled with the free app is good enough. $80 for the Live version. The NHL is outa their fricken minds. Have the fans benefited at all from that lockout season yet?! Me thinks not.

I really don't understand what people are complaining about with the $80 version. You get just about EVERY game for the season. It's around $170 for the Center Ice package. I wouldn't pay $80 because I get Center Ice but if they made the mobile version too cheap it could effect how many people buy the Center Ice package. The Sunday Ticket app is $350, but you can watch games on your computer or phone. As for MLB, there was no app that let you watch live, full games.
 
I registered just to post a response on this topic... I am rooted and use a couple different roms... I used a rom based on htc's in which the video playback was choppy regardless of quality or signal being used... And then I used Cyanogenmod 6 which played back smooth as butter. So it isn't the app causing the choppiness, it is something else.
 
Since Fox Sports and Dish are having a lover's spat I went ahead and upgraded to the live version so I can watch my Thrashers this season. The playback is great over 3g on my Fascinate (I haven't tried wifi yet) with only a little lag in the audio. Anyone on the fence about the live version should know that it works really well and should only improve with future updates. The location trick for blackouts works like a charm too.
 
Is there any kind of patch or something I can install for a htc based rom to stop the stuttering??? I don't want to stick with Cyanogenmod, because of the things that are currently missing function wise in the rom.
 
To anyone who got this app with a Galaxy S phone does the App have DRM stopping you from boardcasting it to your TV?

I agree. There needs to be a way to stop this from stuttering. I paid for the $20 app and I can't even watch the highlights. The stuttering kills me.
 
watching live right now over 3g on my captivate.

mobilism

it is crazy how well it plays over 3g, I put to high video quality. No skipping or jumping. Edmonton just scored!

wish they had an app like this for MLB. Would love to watch my yankees during work hours next season.

Hey, I've been sorry since the franchise started. Home town team so I have to support them, but they break my heart year after year. Everything is new this year though, so there is always hope. :D

To stay on topic I have to add that I love this app. The Fascinate's screen makes it even better. Now I'm waiting for froyo to come along and mess it up.

Is anyone getting these stutters with stock phones?

I upgraded to Skyraider 3.2 RC3 with Sense and now I am getting the stuttering. It isn't a big deal because I listen to the radio more than watch the highlights. Still, would be nice if they fixed this problem.
