Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

just tried with a kindle hd fire online and it said I need a tivo.

I think I'll just forget about it

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

There was a link to the app earlier in this thread that let you install it on a kindle fire hd. I'm using it on mine.

Mind you i have a tivo and not sure if the streaming works if you haven't got one?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

You can't even sign into the app if you haven't got TiVo

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Ahh thanks. Can you explain how this is done on Android please?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

It's not, same as it's not on iOS either.

You need Flash 11.4 or above on a PC running Windows (not Windows RT) or a Mac to be able to use the web version of TV Anywhere

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Ben, is there any plans to add access to VOD content via the iOS/Android apps at any stage?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I think it was mentioned when the iOS app was launched, but no info on when/how it will be done

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Ok, thanks for the update Ben.

I was just wondering as I recently bought a Now TV box and been using that with the Now TV iOS apps and thought it was a great service. It got me thinking that the VM TV Anywhere app would be a great app if it offered the same VOD content as you can get via the web version.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

The 4.4.2 update for Android is rolling out now, my Nexus 4 received the update last night.

I trust when the app is updated for the base version of 4.4, it will work on 4.4.2 ......right?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Still nothing for 4.4 then, not working that hard on it.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Well there is nothing released. Doesn't mean the guys in the testing team aren't working on it.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

4.5 will probably be out before it ;)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I do not think that at all.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I think everyone is just going on past experiences ;)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

More fool them then. VM will try to get a 4.4 compatible version out as soon as they possibly can.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I'd like it for 4.0 please...

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Hopefully :)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Sadly its pretty much useless if you don't have Tivo.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Not holding my breath.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Old news but,
One of my tivos was at 87%, I'd watched most of the shows on my other boxes so was quite chuffed when I found out that pressing edit and ticking each show, I deleted 67 shows in one go without going to the tivo.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

The most annoying issue with the app is that if you choose a time other than 'now' in the guide, drill-down to look at a particular programme and then go back, it resets the time to now, not whatever time you were at before. Hugely annoying.

Sometimes it also refuses to exit and if you leave it in the background it sometimes then won't reconnect return to it and refuses to exit as well.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

The most annoying thing about the app for me is you still can't watch Sky Movies or Sky Sports on ipad :(

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Being able to watch it would be start , streaming error V:1001 :rolleyes:

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Same time as last week on the 5.30 game, error. It will be OK when the game has finished

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Can't even watch it in laptop UP yours VIRGIN...

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

So basically TV anywhere unless you want to watch a popular match......brilliant.:td:

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Tv nowhere

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Thats nothing VM can change though. Its Sky who won't allow it. Guess they want to keep that for their own service.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Error v1001. Happy New Year from the cr-app.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

As predicted it started to work as soon as the game finished

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Was trying to watch it on ipad too, as Mrs Ghost was watching a "variety show" :erm::( on tv and my daughters screeching pals were all in her room. Ended up listening to the radio as if it was 1940 :mad:

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Not working again for the Man Utd v Swansea game :(

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Probably a rights issue.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Just noticed that the release date of the app on the Play Store has changed to the 7th January, yet it isn't showing as an update!

Not sure if anything has changed as there is no 'What's New' section for the app.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Is there any news on this working properly on KitKat?

I can set series links and record but when i try to watch something the app crashes.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Not heard anything, I did ask on the VM support forums earlier today as it's been 2 months now and nothing has been added to the device list afaik.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I think they defo need to replace their coders, i'm sure they're blagging that they're real programers!

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I take it when you access the app on google play store and it's says 'this device is not yet supported' means you can't download it? I wanted to download on my new Moto G phone. Successfully downloaded on Kindle Fire HD but not the Moto G.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Do it the same way as you did on your kindle.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Thanks I managed to find the apk file....

...and transferred it to Moto G phone but doesn't seem to show the file in the downloads menu on the phone even though it says 30.1MB used in the storage space allocation? Which is the size of the file. It seems to be hiding from view.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Morning all just downloaded and installed the app as Mr K advised great thanks and it works........well to a point. Is it because I have Kit Kat 4.4.2 on my Nexus 7 that I keep getting the message tvanywhere app has stopped working when I try to stream a channel? I know it's not supported....yet but I've managed to set a recording for the 6 Nations Wales-Italy game no problem.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Use a file manager app, like Astro. I did yesterday to install a game that I downloaded for Android. Works brilliantly.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Cheers Mark will try that which option is it? The file manager or the player?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Yeah the app worked on my Nexus 7 when sideloaded on, but won't stream as it's not supported yet!

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Both, but the Astro file manager is so easy to use. It's like using Explorer in Windows, but on a smaller scale (phone that is).

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Hi all

Does anyone know if VM have updated the app to stop it installing on unsupported devices?

I got a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas and download the app from the list earlier in this thread and it installed and worked perfectly.

However my 5 year old daughter managed to factory reset my Kindle while playing with it last week, and having gone to the same link and downloaded the file again, the Kindle says "can't open file" when I try to install it now?

Has anyone managed to do this recently, or if it's been protected, does anyone still have the old .apk they would be prepared to share?

Thanks in advance for any help

T

---------- Post added at 11:50 ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 ----------

Hmmm weird,

Downloaded a file manager app as suggested on last page and managed to install it fine and its working perfectly again.

Definitely didn't have to use one last time, so I'm sure something has changed, however problem solved for now.

Thanks
T

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Cheers works now ;) ... this app is much better than the other VM TV Guide app

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

OK cheers

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Kitkat update for TV Anywhere has gone live today.

Had a quick look and it's not too bad and can confirm video streaming works on the Nexus 5 running 4.4.2 although I don't believe the device list has been updated yet on VM website.

I had a feeling VM were going to come through with the goods once the new wave of premium phones hit the market

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Can also confirm it works on my Nexus 7 running 4.4.2

---------- Post added at 21:29 ---------- Previous post was at 21:07 ----------

Though it still seems to remain in Portrait mode until streaming is selected then it goes to Landscape

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I`ve registered my galaxy tab3 as a second device and the picture quality is ok but I`ve got no sound. All volume settings are set to full. Volume is ok on the tab cause youtube and music that I`ve got play ok Has anyone got any ideas

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Works on my nexus 7 . Only had a little play cannot see On Demand stuff but it looks ok so far.

---------- Post added 26-02-2014 at 01:05 ---------- Previous post was 25-02-2014 at 23:22 ----------

I take it back i cannot work out how to watch things on my nexus 7 it just makes me watch everything on the tv. For some reason i was fascinated with the ability to pause live tv from my tablet which was right next to my actual remote control - genius!

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Yes just checked on my NEXUS 7 with KITKAT 4.4.2 and it's working fine better late than never eh Virgin

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Is yours stuck in portrait mode though unlike the images shown on Google play?

Only time it goes into landscape is when streaming is active.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Can anyone answer this? When i was playing with the app last night i wanted to watch certain things but it only gave me the option to watch them on the television. Is this correct or is there a setting i need to change? Or is it just selected channels you can watch live?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

This.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Apparently this by design on any tablet 7" and under, plus mobile phones :erm:

Yup, afraid so.

The channels that are able to be streamed have a little wifi logo next to them, or you can filter by these in the settings page.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

They are not the best channels then :( still with the sky go app i am pretty much covered. Not that i go out that often but it's nice to know it works now.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Is it just me, or can't you watch any channels unless your TiVo box and your device is connected to the same network?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I've got a Asus HD Tab and it's not supported, despite it being on 4.2.something.

Bobbins.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Just updated the app on my nexus 4, at last! :)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Apparently tablets 7" or under are classed as phones so won't display in landscape unless streaming.. Crazy

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Am I right, or have I missed something?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I've got a NEXUS 7 tablet and it gets no problem displaying in landscape. Watching Napoli vs Swans atm. No doubt some of the more techy people on here will come up with screen sizes etc. It does ask when I click watch if you want watch on phone.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I have a Nexus 7 aswell, but when I want to watch something; it says it isn't connected to my TiVo. Anyway to solve this?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

And you are definitely selecting a streaming channel to watch?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Aren't all channels (depending on your package) watchable on the app?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Nope - the up to 67 you can stream have an icon next to them, and can also be selected via the 'Streaming Channels' selection (via the settings on the phone version of the app)

The list is also here http://store.virginmedia.com/discove...app/watch.html

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Cheers mate. I wasn't aware of that. I only tried the Ginx channel, but according to that list; you can only watch it on a box.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Jesus wept......no landscape mode for TVA on 7 inch or under devices????

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Nope unless watching a stream

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I registered mine as a phone, this was before it was updated to support KITKAT . When I go to a streaming channel and select watch, it gives the option to watch on TV or watch on phone. I select watch on phone and as my last post confirmed in landscape.


I'd check if you are able to make changes as it will advise if you have any left this month

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

That's how Google's app guidelines state that apps on 7" tablets should work.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

It's ok now mate. I thought you could watch any/most channels on the app, but you can't. I tried watch channel 4, and everything was ok.

Do you or anyone else know how to what recordings on the app?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

You can't watch recordings on the app

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Thanks.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I have loads on apps on my Nexus 7 which work in landscape (Netflix for example). Are they all against Google app guidelines?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Yup like BBC iPlayer too

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Yes. Some, like the BBC News app, originally followed the guidelines but added landscape mode due to user requests.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Hopefully VM will follow common sense guidelines then. :)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I was hoping someone could tell me what they are watching that is only in portrait. My nexus 7 shows the streaming in landscape but mostly it only offers me the option to watch on my tv - which i would as i am sitting in front of it with the blasted device.
Everything else works in landscape - Netflix - Sky Go - Flixter - Youtube - iPlayer - Any films i watch through Poweramp or Archos Video.
What are people trying to watch that only work with portrait? :)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Any screens in the app apart from the stream

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Would be nice to have the option I guess, but after using the app on a 10" tablet I'd find the landscape orientation a bit fiddly on a 7" screen.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Is there ever going to be a time when you can watch recordings on the app? And if you only have 1 tivo box in the house (with 2 other V+ boxes) is there any point in connecting the Tivo to the home network via the router?

What does connecting the Tivo box with an ethernet cable actually do?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Currently TiVo would require extra hardware to watch recordings directly from the box.

So the TiVo connected allows you to use the app as a remote control

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I too am annoyed with the Nexus 7 only in portrait for menus and the like, streaming is in landscape. The reason I've been given is a choice that 7" and below are phones therefore the app only works in portrait, above that the app will work in landscape if you hold the device that way.

Please note that I don't work in the app division so for the purpose of this thread I am just "a user".

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Getting enough capacity to cope with popular football matches would be a useful start.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Virgin TV Anywhere comes to Android KitKat.

http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/April2014/vir...id-kitkat.html

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

It's supported KitKat since the end of Feburary, so that's a little late ;)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Oh dear l better put those glasses on again.:)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Some more devices have been added as 'unsupported' http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...2294773#M10442

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

I've installed in on my HTC One X+ and it's working fine. :woot:

When the app first came out I installed from the apk file and it wouldn't let the phone sleep/screen off after the set time. Phone sleeps happily now.

I'm not connected to my home network so I'll have test the streaming later.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

You don't have to be on your home network for streaming. Surely that would defeat the purpose of Away mode?

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

You do have to be on a wifi network though.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

At last, it's available for the Moto G :)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

So it is restricted to wifi? Why do companies do that? If people have a fast mobile connection and the data allowance needed then it should not matter.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Content providers count WiFi streaming and Mobile streaming as two different things, and want separate contracts for both.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

Didn't realize the tab 3 had been added, I installed the .apk when the android version was released has always worked to manage my TiVo but not to stream.

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

So does this latest news mean we will be able to watch Sky Sports and Movies via the ipad Virgin Anywhere app? Fantastic news if that's the case :)

Re: TV Anywhere Android App
 

That is certainly the implication, presumeably alongside the other Sky channels (excluding Atlantic).
