Watching College Football on 4G

[harpstar]

Hey All,

I have a HTC Hero and am about to upgrade to a 4g phone. I'm curious how good the picture quality is watching football through the Sprint Football app comparing 3G versus 4G.

3G is pretty choppy and pixelated. I'm hoping 4G is more watchable.

Thanks.

U can only watch it through 3G so it can authenticate the phone. I don't know why it can't through WiFi or 4G. Maybe someone else knows.

Get a Slingbox, and you can watch anything on your cable/DVR box.
Slingbox Rules!!

Sprint has been advertising how watching sports over 4G is so much better than 3G. That's weird that you're not even able to use it.

The following is a link to a Sprint News Release regarding 4G and their Football app.

"With Sprint?s 4G network, fans will experience live game viewing similar to what they see on a TV ? without the lag. "

Are we talking about the football app? I tried in 3G and it worked then I switched back to 4G and it worked, so my app might not have been authorized.

Did you notice much of a difference in picture quality with 3G vs 4G?
