Roger Wireless is offering it.

Id give you a link but I haven't posted enough

After every news bulletin, sports game etc. are there for you to watch right after it has aired.

[moosehead]

Yeah very interesting.

Here is the link:

bbTV™ – Play Video Clips, Download and Watch News, Sports and Other TV Programs on Blackberry® devices from RIM®

Just tried it out. I'm a Bell customer (not sure if it makes a diff) but this allows me to download a crappy looking video file (NOT STREAM!) to my BlackBerry and play it back. And the play back is choppy on my 8703e. Over all - not impressed.

Do Rogers customers get actual streaming? Does it seem smooth over EDGE?

per my post it doesn't stream over my connection.... just wondering if it did /w a Rogers BlackBerry. I realize EDGE has a lower throughput than EVDO

it a cool app
got it working on my 7130e

[blackspawn]

Just downloaded this program. The play back is a bit choppy on my 8703e as well. I'm on the Telus network. Program is average, but i believe it can be better. Live stream would be cool, if they were to offer that.

[BBRob]

I have an 8703e. Is there a program out there that I can download to views videos on my device?

Thanks!

Now watch as I try to carefully balance my television on top of my new blackberry... Look ma! TV on my blackberry!

[benpreston]

that would be nice but we would have to wait until the 3g blackberries are released for it to be any use.
