A little choppy on the Tour, but will be a great mobile alternative for Huludotcom

Are you f***** kidding me?????

No #@$@%$!@^$T$$^!^$#^ Storm support?????

What the hell????

I guess the STORM is on the way out...

Lego!

Seems like every app that would work the best on the storm, does not give storm support!

Canadians are shafted AGAIN :(

 
 
Posted by Agent00J Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

Odd that the BB with the largest screen doesn't seem to make the list. Oh well. Maybe next time.

 
 
Posted by MarcSMASH Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

Did you try it? I'm wondering if it would work at all.

*** no dice.*** btw, I am so glad we Storm owners are so appreciated. I mean that.

 
 
Posted by phreddyl Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

If anyone is daring enough to try it on the storm please post your results.

 
 
Posted by z06mike Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

I can't believe the Storm is the one that is never included in the supported phones, yet is really the only one that you can watch TV on. What a joke.

 
 
Posted by demonjrules Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

You can't believe it? I have come to terms about how us storm owners rarely ever get support for applications. I'm still waiting on the sling mobile app for the storm which has been out on regular blackberries for a year now but still no storm support.

 
 
Posted by luvable31 Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

dont even waste your time trying to download...it will come up on your storm as a unsupported device...bummmer... im not made...on to the next!!!!

 
 
Posted by fatfab2002 Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

it works smooth on the 9700

 
 
Posted by valorian Wednesday, May 26, 2010 725 days ago

At the bottom of the screen click on compatible phones. From there click on My Phone's not here. After that you can select BlackBerry Storm and put you e-mail in.

I'm thinking the Storm will be supported later.

This is me holding my breath... ... =)

I might pass out or even pass away waiting.......and waiting.....and waiting........and still waiting.

 
 
Posted by lmengerink Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Doesn't work trying to work-around for the Storm2 either. Detection won't allow it - even changing browser or going through Bolt.

 
 
Posted by Taterfry Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

If somehow we could get the damn app to download, it should run fine,.. even if we have to run it in compatibility mode.

 
 
Posted by luqman24 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

After u create a new account its gonna ask u for the type of model then u select model not listed or whatever.

 
 
Posted by xxplosive2k282 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

I'm starting to get a little self-concious about being a Storm2 owner. My next upgrade will not be to a touchscreen BlackBerry, that is for d*mn sure...

 
 
Posted by luqman24 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

And again us canadians get screwed. Man what do those American Broadcast Companies have on Canada. Its not like we've caused them anything like stole their shows before or something?!

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

a VPN and call it a day, lol.

 
 
Posted by luqman24 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

How do I do that? And btw I was able to make an account and download it just fine but when I launch the application I get an error message saying "We're sorry, an error seems to have occurred. Please find an area with better coverage and try again later." But I have full bars on 3G and my wifi connection works fine. Anyone else having this issue? Btw I have Bold 9000

 
 
Posted by quellerie Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

How can I buy a VPN and use it on my 'berry? Any suggestions?

 
 
Posted by lovelydama Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I get the same exact error on my Bold. Contacted support & waiting to hear back from them...

 
 
Posted by Taterfry Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

If i could just get it to download, i know it would work on my storm2

 
 
Posted by renegade37918 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

geez i'm getting soaking wet from all this "storm" crying. you guys have plentyof storm only stuff. give it time they'll make it for you also.. that touchscreen only device is tricky. cheers

 
 
Posted by MRWOLF6969 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Anyone get it to work on the 8530??

 
 
Posted by nolatech Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I got the not available at this time message when trying to download it.

 
 
Posted by ronmcse Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Me Too! No luck! I'm tired of buying phones that nothing works with when it first comes out. Make sure you click on "My phone is not here" and add the Curve 8530 so maybe they will develop it faster.

 
 
Posted by Hamp Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

I have a 9700 which is a supported device but when I go to download it, it say it's unsupported! Live chat support seems to be taking forever even though I'm number 1 in the queue!

This is BS!

 
 
Posted by eagansonbass Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Nice app. Can't wait for more content. Don't know if I would pay $10.00 a month for it though.

 
 
Posted by stark4 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

It works fine for my Tour. Very good quality too. I'm downloading all the TV series to my sd card now so that i can watch it later.

Is it gonna be free forever for us that just created the account now?

 
 
Posted by NinjaChopstick Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Wow. Smooth as butter on my 9630. Not a lot of shows yet. only 45. stream started almost immediately, and the playback isnt choppy one bit. I mean really, im quite impressed. The fullscreen looks great as well. Literally like watching on my computer in standard on like youtube or something.

 
 
Posted by zurch Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

wow i haven't been using my storm 2 for a while now...Jeesh first the free ptt then this ? i don't know when i will be back on my storm 2 but I'm lov'n the tour right now.

 
 
Posted by friedmonkey Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

"...they always seem to be limited in one way or another." Sounds like this one is too, since there's no support for Storm users (let alone Canadian Storm users). There's always room in the market for another player,if they get it right.

 
 
Posted by Robinson_78 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

on their facebook page there is a demo video and it shows it on a storm.

http://www.facebook.com/bitbop?v=wall

 
 
Posted by Agent00J Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Looks like it's an animated demo. For all we know that could be completed animated in a program like After Effects or something just for presentation purposes. :P

Yeah and in this screenshot it looks like its from one of the storms

 
 
Posted by XWolf Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

It makes me laugh, here is a world wide web application in the world of global communication that cannot be used anywhere but one country.

 
 
Posted by 754boy Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Hamp I have the same problem as you. Trying to download it on my 9700 and its telling me unsupported. WTF!!!!

 
 
Posted by 754boy Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Ok figured it out. I had to change my browser user agent from IE back to the default blackberry. Downloading now :)

 
 
Posted by malo_KID Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

How come the screenshot of bitbop beta look like it was taken from a storm. 360 x 480?

 
 
Posted by trev869 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

I noticed on my Bold 9700, I had to use the default browser to detect my phone. When I used Bolt or Opera, it said my device was not supported.

 
 
Posted by srtpointman Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

And I discovered Archer. Now my shifts at work will be a lot less boring.

 
 
Posted by mi_canuck Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

downloaded the 9630 version for the 9650 and it sorta works, although when I try to stream direct, it says can't find video... so ???

most of the crap on there i have zero interest in.... typical tv network garbage...

 
 
Posted by DanG1580 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Very smooth running app with just trying it out for a few minutes. I'm glad to see it's not one of those apps in beta that crashed my Tour in the past, so definitely check it out and hopefully this will be the Hulu of Blackberry.

 
 
Posted by AQucsaiJr Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

Soo... This app is not supported on the BB with the largest screen... I hate to say this but as soon as something better comes out I am ditching this Storm and BB. I was a huge fan but obviously this phone will never be supported Like I assumed it was meant to be.

 
 
Posted by mkurz12 Thursday, May 27, 2010 725 days ago

I was about to try it but as soon as I got the part where they asked for my phione # I bailed. I never give out my phone number to DL anything, no matter what the user agreement says.
Know too many people that do this and all of a sudden they're getting solicitation calls on their cell, which I have yet to happen to me.

 
 
Posted by JasW Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

"So sorry, Bitbop is not available." This is what I get after registering for an account, letting them know what BB I use, giving them my mobile # so I can d/l OTA, and then going to the link they sent in a text.

I call FAIL.

 
 
Posted by bushwashere Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I'll pay attention to a TV app when they start streaming live sports.

 
 
Posted by deedee2020 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

The website says that the tour 9630 is compatible, but I went to the link on my phone and it says its not supported. What gives?

 
 
Posted by sf18443 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Get it here for the 9630 http://mojito.bitbop.com/download/bitbop/RIM_9630/1.0.0/raptor-545904.ja...

 
 
Posted by jsox78 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

No Storm support again. Sometimes I wonder why RIM even made the 95xx series because developers certainly don't want to create for it.

 
 
Posted by aslandholm Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

For those of you getting not supported even though the app has your phone on the list - Make sure in your Browser Configuration you have your Browser Identification set to Blackberry.

 
 
Posted by deedee2020 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Thank you very much! I am now downloading the app!!

 
 
Posted by JasW Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Yes, thank you.

 
 
Posted by qwerty987 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Downloaded episodes no problem, but when trying to play it's just Buffering.

 
 
Posted by grreyes24 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

It works great on my 9700. I love the app and have been waiting for something like this. Still though, I dont think I would pay $10 a month for it. It would be awesome if they had a ad supported / commercial version that was free.

 
 
Posted by mychlan Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

But can not interact with anything...O well...guess I will have to wait...

 
 
Posted by 1magine Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

and stream through ORB. Orb is free and works fine most of the time. You can record the shows you want from your PC or remotely and watch themn whenever you want. Not to mention access to your video, music, pictures and document libraries.

$10 per month - ppplllleeeeease. For$10 a month you better be bringing me a bear and rubbing my shoulderswhile I watch.

 
 
Posted by DarthHomer Saturday, May 29, 2010 722 days ago

What exactly is the bear for? Do you mean a real bear or a big hairy guy wearing leather pants w/leather suspenders?

 
 
Posted by HockeyBerry21 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I am getting Error Code:P12 when trying to watch it now. It passes the license check and then the buffering starts and ends up with the error message before any video starts.

Anyone else?

I contacted support over Chat and they are about clueless... First they said that i wasn't registered...(joke) Then they told me to uninstall and reinstall... give me a break...

Any ideas?

 
 
Posted by Rello Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I know this is beta software, but i havent gotten one video to play yet over wifi on my 8900

 
 
Posted by jSkiLLzZz Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

it really is embarassing that the slingbox/slingmedia doesnt support the storm/storm 2. what a let down. i could go on a whole rant but its not worth the energy, after waiting and searching for well over a year i am now exhausted with this topic. blackberry should have stepped in on this one, slingbox works great on the iphone, aside from bbm why would anyone want a blackberry, they get no support

 
 
Posted by AQucsaiJr Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I have been waiting for a while now to see a slingmedia app and it does not seem like it will ever happen! I don't really see a need for the slingbox otherwise, IMHO.

 
 
Posted by BuddaBelly Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

How about a free ad based version. I am so sick of getting nickled and dimed to death by Blackberry apps when my wife gets most of the same apps on andriod for free or 99 cents. With that said I do like the app a lot. It worked well on my 9700 on tmobile via wifi. I live in the sticks so I haven't yet tested it on 3G but will soon see how it works there as well.

 
 
Posted by sf18443 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I know other have expressed disappointment that there is not yet support for the Storm. I am also saddened :( but isn't the screenshot for bitbop in this article from a Storm!?

 
 
Posted by Rhoq Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Can't get this running on my Tour. After the "BitBop" splash screen it goes to blank white screen. If I bring up the app switcher and choose BitBop, the white screen then shows an error message which basically says I don't have strong enough network coverage. Full 1XEV and full signal strength. Unistalled/Reinstalled 3 times. Did a live chat with someone from BitBop and they were zero help.

 
 
Posted by totalwackjob Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

My friends have iphone's and droids I'm always coming up with excuses and trying to protect BlackBerry and my storm, but I'm done, no more. I think this is the straw that broke the camels back. Been waiting and waiting and waiting for an app like this,I got so excited, for what? No support for storm. Just venting, frustrated.

 
 
Posted by Vinnyjr Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Works great on the 9700. Very sharp and crisp. If you have a lousy connection you can download to memory card for playback later. Great app.

 
 
Posted by MrTruckincowboy Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I'd really like to see this app on the storm it check your device and wont allow a download if you try with a storm.
oh well hopefully they come out with one soon

 
 
Posted by jpro757 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I have the 9000 it has been working smooth all day. I have watched plenty of shows from my phone. You can even download to watch later. Sports need to be included and 10.00 a month is very expensive. They to charge advertisers and include some ads. I definitely will not pay any money for this. But it does work pretty well on the 9000

 
 
Posted by lovelydama Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

What OS are you running? I just keep getting a white screen or an error message... :(

 
 
Posted by KMB4 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

I wonder if they don't have support for the Storm series because of Verizon's VCast? Everyone knows the Storm is exclusive to Verizon and Verizon already offers some of this programming through the VCast app. The Tour is on both Sprint and Verizon so they can't leave that out necessarily but I notice that there is no support for the newer Curve series either. There may be licensing issues that make it impossible. Either way it IS disappointing to see this.

 
 
Posted by mom24 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Downloaded nicely to my 8900, however when i try to stream or download a show it keeps going to no coverage or buffering. when tried to download it spent 15 min on 6% than i stopped it, dont think i will keep this app right now. maybe its because to amnypeople are trying to DL right now dont know.

 
 
Posted by capt skinboat Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

And I've got full signal (3G coverage). Always gives me an error and says try again when I get better network coverage, didn't know it got any better than full bars.

 
 
Posted by Rhoq Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Sounds like the same issue I'm having. I wonder if it's an OS related issue. Which OS are you running? I'm on .643 (OS 5)

 
 
Posted by Rhoq Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Funny - right after I wrote this, it FINALLY started to work!

 
 
Posted by SkySoldier Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Downloaded on my Bold 9000 and used it while waiting at the doctors office today. Worked well and I'm very happy with it. I'm not sure about paying $10 per month in the future though.

 
 
Posted by google123 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

i like that i can download shows and watch them later. i don't like that it will eventually cost me 10 bucks/month though. i don't think i'll use it then.....

 
 
Posted by fsj80 Thursday, May 27, 2010 724 days ago

Does not work on 8530

 
 
Posted by salim587 Friday, May 28, 2010 724 days ago

i downloaded this app last night and it works great. Video was an 8. had some problems creating an account though but very nice app.

 
 
Posted by lostnvegas Friday, May 28, 2010 724 days ago

Can anyone point me to a link that will let me download this so I can try it on my 8530? I know it isn't on the supported list and their sote says not supported when I have them text me the link. Btw I already have my browser set as blackberry :) the only reason I want this is so I can stream shows and so far the only site I can useis youtube since no flash support. I do not have access to a computer to download movies/shows so I nedd sites to stream or ota.

If there are other free sites like these please let me know-thanks in advance!

 
 
Posted by legobricke Saturday, May 29, 2010 722 days ago

Demo they have running on a STORM 1...

Of course they don't support it... nor the Storm 2...

Tired of the lack of support that the STORMS are getting...

Looks like it time to DROID!

 
 
Posted by rudecat Saturday, May 29, 2010 722 days ago

I have a Blackberry 9700 on T Mobile. This app does NOT work on my phone. Wi-Fi, 3G, nothing! I get the white screen of death and when it doesn't blow up my phone I get the error message telling me to get better coverage. Nice try but..............Crap......................

 
 
Posted by m.e. Sunday, May 30, 2010 721 days ago

I was so excited to see this little fun item to add to my Tour. Imagine my complete consternation to have it installed and it doesn't work. Haven't heard anything back from their technical support either. Oh woe is me.

 
 
Posted by nicbkuvs Tuesday, Jun 01, 2010 720 days ago

I installed this on my Tour 9630. The install was a little tedious. You have to register first then download the app. I have gotten one or two shows to work, but mostly it locks up the phone and I have to do a battery pull. The concept is good. Other than the video streaming is not reliable, I like it. I will probably uninstall it since it is so buggy, but I'll definitely check back later.
