N900 handset UK vodafone (although flashed to PR1.2). Hi all i'm hoping someone can help or advise? I've tried TVCatchup and looks good BUT even on wifi it's very sluggish. Sound is good just video does not stream to allow good viewing. I've tried it through firefox and web widget. This is also the same for other video streaming on firefox. The best i've found is Youtude on the web browser. What could i need or be doing wrong. Any help appreciated.

Is there an alternative to this for the US users? what if i had a friend in UK register me an account, and then i use that information from the US, will it let me login and watch the world cup on the fly? or can flashing a UK firmware be an alternate route to make it work for US users?
DUMB question, I KNOW, but keeping my fingers crossed...justintv and all the other flash websites are horrible to view on n900.

But if it is for the football that you are after then I'm sure you will find a stream that will work for you somewhere.
As for UK tv in general goodluck! lol

if your having trouble with stuttering streams try mobile version of site. m.tvcatchup.com will stream using your media player on n900 instead of browser.

YES!!!! I managed to beat vodafone..
I have managed to get the stream to open in VLC by tunnelling rtsp over http.
I compared the address used by the iphone stream, saw that it is an HTTP connection using port 1935. I also read up on the vlc documentation and found that it could tunnel rtsp connections over http - therefore sidestepping the blanket ban imposed by vodafone.
So.. Using the port and the tunnelling i tried the following command in dbus-switchboard:
This tells vlc to quit if it cannot connect, otherwise it stays running in the background doing nothing, tells it to use the Q key to quit (same as mplayer), and tells it to tunnel rtsp over http port 1935
I can say for certain this plays back even better than before.
Edit: Also, the connection to the stream is much faster - about 10 seconds or less on 3G
