For a cheap solution, you can try a rooted $249 Barnes and Noble Nook Color. Here's how to stream Hulu on one: How to stream Hulu on a hacked Nook Color | Android Central And, yes, Netflix works well on it as well: Netflix on a rooted Nook Color [how-to] | Android Central For...

Don't expect the front-facing camera to work unless the device runs Android 2.3 or later, it isn't implementing the Android front-facing camera API. Devices that run older versions of Android have vendor specific libraries that must be worked with independently to get the front-facing camera to...

What you appear to be asking for is a way to place P2P video calls from your web browser using Adobe Flash and no other video client software installed on your computer. The VRS world has always been dependent on H.323 to place video calls with H.263 encoded video. The Adobe Flash player...

I hate to say it, but "this is what Sorenson tech support is for." Give them a ring, I'm sure they'll more than glad to help you configure your new home network. If not, give another VRS provider a call, as they will undoubtedly be more than willing to help you setup a competing videophone...

Too many VRS providers? You realize that you can "dial around" to those other VRS providers and use their interpreters regardless of which VRS provider your videophone uses, right? Different providers have different staffing levels, with different caliber interpreters. If a VRS provider has...

With the ZVRS Z4 Mobile or Sprint VRS Mobile App, yes, you can use a Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G on Sprint Wireless, or Samsung Galaxy S Tab on virtually any carrier. You _can_ run those mobile apps on a Google Nexus One, or an HTC Desire/Incredible (and other Android phones), but there will be...

As stated in another thread on alldeaf before, ZVRS would love to, but cannot release an EVO version at this time due to exclusivity reasons between Mirial and MainstreamVRS. I have no doubts that the exclusivity was not cheap for MainstreamVRS, but anything I have to say toward that end would...

videophones for hearies The FCC has mandated that VRS providers cannot put a hearing phone number in the iTRS database, and that VRS providers cannot use NECA funds to pay for hearing videophone service. So long as the hearing person _pays_ for a service account on a reoccurring basis with a...

Your problem there is your 384kbps upload. You need more bandwidth. Even with 256kbps video (which isn't as good as 384kbps), there is still an audio channel and other signalling overhead. If you were to do _anything_ else while on a borderline bandwidth saturated call, you would see it lag...

Use a wifi bridge Most wifi access points allow for "bridging" mode where they simply pass layer 2 ethernet traffic back and forth. If you configure a wifi access point this way, you should be able to connect it to whatever router you are using today that is already working for you. The...

More than one VP200 behind the same IP Yes, you can have more than one VP200 behind the same IP. The way Sorenson handles this is by port-mapping the H.225 call-setup port (typically 1720) to different port numbers for each phone. They then publish those differently in the iTRS database...

H.323 vs SIP The iTRS database only contains H.323 IP addresses for videophones. All deaf videophones must have an IP address in the iTRS database if they wish to receive inbound video calls. Only VRS providers can access the iTRS database hosted by Neustar. To access it, VRS providers must...

VRS in the United States is funded by the Universal Service Fee that every US citizen pays as part of their telephone bill. Directed by the FCC, NECA disperses payment to a handful of VRS providers that are legally allowed to bill the NECA fund. This is why Canadian citizens cannot be...

Ekiga (previously GnomeMeeting) _could_ conceivably place calls, but it has serious interop bugs. You can use "ohphone" but that's a bit of a commandline tool, though there are some Tk wrappers for it if you need a GUI. The XMeeting (previously ohphoneX) stuff that runs on OS/X is just a...

There are no VRS providers that work with Skype at this time. Skype uses a rather cludged and obfuscated/"encrypted" jabber variant for signalling, as well as a P2P mesh for media proxying (you might be relaying your neighbor's video conversation through your internet connection). The call...

Single and dual-line VCO There are a number of VRS providers out there. What you want to do is "single-line VCO". With this, your voice channel is setup at the same time as your video call and runs as a parallel RTP stream. What i711.com (Purple) is asking you to do is "dual-line VCO"...
