And we want HD on a 480*800 display, why exactly?
It's Widescreen SD, after all...

Havent touched it since though. Although I probably wouldnt delete it if I rooted the phone. Now, the nascar, sprint zone, sprint nav, NFL and other mindless crap I would. Not that i need space, still have over 180mb left on the phone.
The only thing I don't like about Sprint TV app is you can't rewind or ffwd on-demand content. It's a REAL PITA!! Live TV isn't a problem, because you only get the latest, but on-demand sometimes would cut out if I lost a signal or got an SMS or phone call. Then when you go back, you have to start all the way from the beginning again. VERY ANNOYING!! 
Otherwise, I agree it's a life saver, esp. for my 6 yr old daughter!

The forum is about why people don't like sprint tv. I stated "my" opinion as this is my preference. This is not "we" question.

FWIW, I have a SlingBox PRO-HD at home (connected via Cox cable internet with a 2.0MByte/sec upload rate). When I play HDTV content from the DVR via the SB app (even thru 3G, but almost always better thru WiFi) the content scales very nicely from the HDTV standard 16:9 to the 16:9.5 we have, likely using interprolation instead of throwing away content (I wonder if the SB app uses OpenGL?).
So, there is some benefit, depending on the content.

I like it!! Great to be able to watch, espically considering the price we pay for it!!!

Thanks for the heads-up on TV.com- it does look really nice- but DAMN, why can't they have anything but tiny little clips? I'd sit thru a Hulu.com-like set of short commercials to keep that quality and have full eps.
(Oh wait- just discovered some shows, like Craig Ferguson (BTW, the funniest of the late-night guys!) are full eps. Nice!)
Yup, Sprint TV was a great alternative for watching the World Cup especially when you're traveling.
Watched a lot of the games in the car on vacation. I was sold then

Any comments on Sprint TV from folks with 4G?
I only get 3G and it's hit or miss with choppiness an/or audio sync.
But Sprint Radio is pretty cool - great stations and genres.
