This is about CDMA mobile phones, not your precious Mac. Do the world a favor and just stop. Just. Stop.

Sqube

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> Yeah, both of what I said since it wouldn't display my first comment when I posted it!

allstarecho

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> No it doesn't and no you're not. Unless you know the workaround, which is highly doubtful.

allstarecho

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> No it doesn't and no you're not. Unless you know the new work around and I find that highly doubtful.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> works for me, just tried it

iluvhatemail

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> Yes, it nolonger works.. at least in this way. There is a new workaround but the person at HowardForums who figured it out isn't telling.. at least not at HowardForums.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> Sprint is going to be gone in 18-22 months, so this dosn't really matter.

Stacky Botrus

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> The links don't work anymore guys. MobiTV has figured out a way to protect it. There may be some sort of work around coming soon... but it doesn't look good.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> Now look, we need to decide which side of the debate we're on.

If we want content to be produced and provided with no DRM, then it is necessary that we respect the rights and requests of the content providers. It is really just that simple.

Put another way, if we want to be treated like adults, we need to act like adults.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> I tried this on my sprint phone and it says "Forbidden you don't have permission to access on this server.
Apache/2.0.46(Red Hat) server at qtv.mobitv.com Port 80"
Anyone know how I could get this to work on my phone?

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> This actually works! I've been watching Fox News since I switched to that "Unlimited everything" plan they just released, but not having to pay for upgrading my subscription is sweet!

Now if it only didn't drain my Moto K1m's battery in less than 30 minutes...

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> Wow! Cool! I just tried it and it works on my Sprint phone!
Free crappy video on a teeny tiny screen!
Ok, it's free so I won't complain!

Careful. That kind of talk got my comments disabled for a week by Mark Wilson.

packetsniffer

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> they might have protected the main url, but all the others are still working just fine. I don't see what the big fuss is, all the video horribly compressed and the audio is almost unintelligible. They want people to pay for this crap, that is unbelievable. I wouldn't even watch it for free!

fuzzylollipop

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> MobiTV Is just trying to get attention to its dwindling sales and limited channels.

--Tito--

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> It seems that the spat is over. MobiTV backed down. Good to hear!

MeNotYou

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> That's nice that they fixed everything... though if HowardForums really went down I have other places to turn to (3Siu and Blueshow are favorites).

jamar0303

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> site does not equal sight

GiltProto

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> not only was the issue resolved before you guys even ran this story, but nowhere was sprint even involved. this was mobitv contacting hofo.

the reporting is not only way late (the initial issue arose yesterday,) but its pretty irresponsible.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> From Howard:
Howard, great catching up today. Again, we're big fans of the sight and our intention was never to bring your entire sight down or to "censor the Internet" like we're being accused. The irony is that is quite the opposite type of company we are and as one of the leaders in new media, we couldn't be more supportive of the rights of sights like yours. Please know that our first priority is always to fix any security issues with our system and we're doing that. Additionally, we also have a responsibility to our content and carrier partners to reduce the impact of any breaches to the system once they occur and that was really the basis for the correspondence you had with our legal team.

I look forward to continuing to find interesting and vibrant insights from HowardForums.

Best regards,
Paul Scanlan
Cofounder, President

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> I've been using this same exact URL for over a year now on my Palm 700P. If you're expecting HD and surround sound, you will be disappointed. Mostly I use it to watch the news, or let my kids watch cartoons if we are waiting in line somewhere. w00t!

JozJonlin

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> I found irony when I clicked on this story and the page on Gizmodo I was brought to with the story had a Sprint ad. :D

Seriously Sprint and MobiTV, just protect your URL in the first place so that way, you would not have this problem. Instead, you make a big fuss over it instead of having your people go ahead and fix the problem and get the URL posted on an even larger number of webpages - nice job smart ones.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> The directions on HowardForums was a "procedure" that allowed you to access the URL in a Browser. I followed them, but it didn't work. I'm on a mac, so it might not work, but i do enjoy a glorious OS experience unfettered by popups, viruses, and an overall shoddy OS UI......

Big Jim Slade

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> @Sloth: only works for CDMA / EVDO. Aka sprint phones and the Verizon Voyager.

lafond66

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> tried it... doesn't work.

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> MobiTV sucks anyway. Slingbox FTW!

scoobydoo

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> MobiTV should get a clue. HowardForums is the most useful, and most popular cellphone site out there. This is like trying to close down eBay for auctions. This is moronic AND bad for their image.

Eugenia

]]> <![CDATA[MobiTV Tries to Shutter Howard Forums Over Posted URL]]> I wonder if I can use this URL on my iPhone...
SPRINT SUCKS!!!!
