TVUPlayer Tips (Free Live Streaming TV)
 

Someone linked this very cool app for streaming live TV the other day. The quality is pretty good, and it looks like new channels are being added regularly. Anyway, a few things I've run across you might find useful:

First off, if you're using 1.x (which is still the only version at downloads.com), grab the latest here. The new 2.x version has a better interface and is resizable to full screen. After upgrading I had to uninstall/reinstall for some reason before it worked.

This site has a limited programming guide and forums:

You can alternatively play the feed much more comfortably through Windows Media Player or VLC media player. To do so, minimize and mute the TVUPlayer, and open the following URL in your media player:
http://127.0.0.1:8901/

The HBO feed is HBO Asia. Here's the full schedule:

(subtract 8 hours for Pacific time)

You can download channel icons for a bunch that don't have them here.

Great effing job on nailing down the HBO stream. The other night at like 4AM I was fiddling around with google, viidoo, yahoo! TV listings, etc, trying to figure out what HBO it was.

I'm just sad that its the middle of the Entourage season so I have to avoid it, no matter how tempting.

Interesting that HBO Asia seems to consist almost entirely of American stuff.

Looks like more people in the US are offering to broadcast all the time, before long I bet you can get about anything through this.
