I saw in the photos of the Touch that SprintTV is part of the software...

I'm curious if that will be part of the update we've been promised (but never delivered on)...

i was told when i bought my phone (in june) that the update woul dbe in october or november, so i think its a bit early to be saying "never delivered on"

but yeah, i heard sprintTV is supposed to be part of that as well

Very nice. Even some decent free content. Between this and my Slingbox I'm never going to be bored at the airport.

I'm on o2 UK, I connected via wifi no prompts, so yes I would say it works on any network with just a data connection.

Edit: Giving me an error few hours later.

Hey guys this cab also works on non Spint networks too. I have an AT&T 8525 phone and the video on it works perfectly, the only issue I have is that the audio drops out occasionaly. Can anybody answer that one

hey, I wonder what would happen if you "subscribe" to channels if not on Sprint... how can they charge you? Will it work, or are they smart enough to disable channel purchases if you don't have a sprint phone?

On top of that, do you guys on sprint think that Sprint will charge us for this? there has been some talk that it needs some ID info from the touch in order to charge its users for subscriptions... guess I'll wait until after some folks get their next bill to see!!

I am getting confused now: do I have to pay for using the NON PREMIUM channels (the one that did NOT pop-up saying "...subscriptions for $ 7.95 /month")?

I have the Mogul with SERO plan and unlimited data. No where in my bill I see "PowerVision" or the like.

I got the SprintTV.cab file, installed it and can see the free (non-premium) channels.

Again, will I be charged for watching non-premium channels?

Most likely. At work we had the Upstage with unlimited everything and it would still ask us if we wanted to buy the premium stuff.

Hey I have a Telus P4000 with the october 21 rom from colonel and it has sprint tv on it, I clicked subscribe on the premium channels and it let me have it, will this show on my TELUS bill in Canada or am I somehow getting this for free?

I am not referring to the premimum channels, just the normal channel. Example: CNN -> when I watch this, no pop-up asking me to pay $7.95.

Obviously not. If the premium ones ask you to pay.. it's because they're premium. The non-premiums don't ask you to pay.. because they're free.

PowerVision = data, and unlimited data = unlimited PowerVision

I have a SERO plan and talked with Sprint yesterday. With PowerVision, you get 8 basic channels. Anything above that costs money. I got a free 30 day trial on the Premium ($15/month), just to try it out. I really only wanted the NFL Network which comes with the basic, but my daughter can watch Disney on the car rides. ;-)

does anyone know if there will be any charges if we subscribe to any channels being that this is a hack program?

lanwarrior
24-10-2007, 06:51 AM
Thanks for all the explanation, guys. So the free channels is free because I have unlimited data.

If I do want to order the premium channel, is it available on the Mogul? I didn't see the Mogul as one of the "compatible" phone on Sprint website. Furthermore, it's quite funny that Sprint website state that the PowerVision TV Pack (20 more channels like ABC, Nick) cost $ 20 but on the SprintTV application in mogul it said $ 7.95.

Finally, what's this MobiTV? I don't see the .cab file in my Mogul.

I have the mogul on sero 2500 with unlimited PowerVision. Added the cab file & all ch work, nothing was added to my plan. Seems that Sprint considers this as part of unlimited data for pdas. :)

All, channel, including the premium channel like Discovery, NFL without paying?

I installed on my Mogul and all seems to work good. A few issues I'd like to hear comments on if possible.

1) It launches in full screen - reverse direction. I can slide my screen slightly and the screen direction immediately reverses (as if going to the correct landscape mode) and then let it slide back and watch in "portrait" mode. Is there a way to start in either portrait mode or correct direction landscape mode?

2) It seems to be stuck in PDT. Is there a way to force it to sync time scheduled with either the phone's time or the network time? I am in CDT and the channel schedules are all 2 hours off.

Someone at SprintUsers Forum claimed that they already have the Touch since yesterday.Hopefully,someone here can extract the SprintTV from the Touch and make it to work for our poor Mogul users here.

According to the Sprint web site, you can NOT order the Power Vision Ultimate Pak ... I know, because "officially the Mogul does NOT YET support Sprint TV nor is the GPS enabled "yet".

I know all about the planned upgrades to REV A and GPS, but WHEN ??

Is Sprint TV a "planned enhancement" by Sprint to the Mogul, or do we have to wait for the hacks ??

I am getting ready to oreder Oguls for the company, but might wait to look at the Touch.

SprintTv is up again

If you already have it, it will prompt to upgrade.
If you need the new version here it is...
All channels seem to work from the ones I've checked.

"Break" I.E. broke the program. Meaning that upgrade1000 loaded and then prompted to run the upgrade. Upgrade broke the program meaning it won't open and no longer shows up in the programs folder. Trying to do a straight install from vogue_1005 results in the same. Program does not work.

Had the cab from the old version installed (that could be uninstalled and it ran fine). Then the dreaded error 7000 or whatever that took down all channels, it said thanks for tests TV wait for touch final version. Final version came out and brought me to a page to get the upgrade cab. Downloaded saved to memory card. Did not uninstall old version, installed new upgrade cab.

Works like a charm everytime on my Mogul, been waiting a while for this!!. :)

Use this cache file and delete what's in the installed dir, \sprintv\cache\ for me, overwrite with the contents in this zip. worked for me, found the solution on ppcgeeks.

I was having the same issue, after installing SprintTVupgrade1000, I was stuck at "loading...". After replacing the cache files, I now have listings but only one or two will load. Usually it's Fox News or CNN, the rest do nothing or give an error 7000 message.

I also noticed I'm missing some options under settings. I don't believe I ever had SprintTV on my Mogul. Could that be why the program seems stripped down?

I started getting an "unauthorised user" message and then got a message to upgrade to 1005. I did but all I got was a 7000 error on the demo movie. Now I have nothing (eternal loading). I have noticed the error messages and warnings seem to be evolving.

Sprint Customer Service said no SprintTV is planned for the Mogul. It feels a lot like the GPS confusing over the summer.
