TV / Movies

[Eng5Lt]

I got the 16gb TF101 a few days ago.
One of the things I really hoped to use the tablet for was watching TV and movies on Demand. I typically use Xfinity (Comcast) On Demand, HBO Go or NBC.com on the laptop.
I was very disappointed to find out that the Transformer won't play video from any of these sources. Unless I'm missing something.
Is there any chance ICS will resolve this? Or is there something on the horizon that will resolve it?
I'm seriously considering returning it for a refund. :-\

I've never tried any of them, but I use Netflix and Movies from Android Market on it frequently.

I think its mostly DRM issues. I'm still waiting for Hulu.
If you're wanting to use it to watch in proximity of your laptop, you can try PlayOn - they have a free trial and I think they're doing a half-off sale this weekend. PlayOn gets you into Hulu and few other things the Transformer won't.

If you happen to have Dish Satellite at home, and a VIP 722 receiver with a Sling Adapter, you can use the Dish Remote Access app on the Transformer to play anything from your Dish channels or DVR recordings anywhere.

Not looking to lay out extra cash for adapters or subscriptions.
Looks like the CBS app and Crackle will serve the purpose for now. Hopefully more options will become available soon. Seems kinda silly that HBO Go is available on PC and Android phones, but not on a tablet.
