Can anyone tell me what apps are blocked when using the SW WiFi on a flight? Is it possible to stream from Hulu or the ESPN App? I know ESPN is one of the channels on the Free In-Flight Entertainment, but the ESPN app has more content. I'll be flying a total of 8 hours on a Saturday and am wondering what my options are for watching football? Is purchasing the WiFi worth it or a waste in this situation? If it is, then I am relegated to games on Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN, correct?

The reason I ask is the game I'd really like to see is on ABC and will start after the flight begins and likely be over or close to the end when we land in San Jose. Am I out of luck on that game?

Lastly, what is the reliability of watching a game on one of the aforementioned Free channels? Has anyone flown on a Saturday or Sunday since this football season started that can share?

Thanks in advance
Chris

2) I suspect that anything that is a signal "hog" won't work. The amount of bandwidth is limited as it is, so 1 or 2 people streaming would basically shut down the service for everyone on the plane. Thus I suspect that streaming is out.

To answer your question about reliability, when the service is working, which seems to be more often, but is still hit and miss, the free TV is pretty good, especially when cruising. You'll experience some interruptions when taking off or landing, but the time in between is pretty good. If however the system is down or unavailable for your flight then you're just out of luck. And as others have said, streaming other video is not going to work.

I get up to the part of adding myself to the fuse group. but there is no fuse group on my machine. I have installed mtpfs, and libmtp.

I am pretty sure your disk doesn't end up owned by the fuse group, but by the 'disk' group. Did you even try connecting the two devices? It works seamless here, without any commands required? And also, I think you won't need mtpfs or any other libraries?

Let's back up a few steps. What happens on the tablet when you connect it to the computer? Does it give you the option of connecting as a disk drive?
On the computer, after you connect the tablet, execute dmesg and look at the last 20 or so lines of the output. Anything about new disks? My HTC Incredible looks like this:

With the introduction of Honeycomb came the end of "mount USB as mass storage". Since Honey Comb, Android will only use MTP. These settings can be found in ICS in Settings -> Storage -> USB computer Storage. I'm not at my Google TV otherwise I'd look for it within Honeycomb. Like I said I only use ADB but am more then willing to fiddle around with it this evening.

So it turns out that motorola is being a bit difficult (to put it nicely) and trying to force people into using their motocast software. Thats all well and good if you use windows or even OSX cause you can get this motocast software for them. But even the windows users have been complaining saying something about how it is often slow, and can give some difficulty when copying movies over, suggesting that it may have somthing to do with netflix.
