DIRECTV Supercast for BlackBerry - Now Available

[Greg Alsobrook]

According to DIRECTV's Twitter page, the app should be available soon. They also posted a couple things you can do to make sure you're ready...

The app is now available for download!

Supported models:

BlackBerry Storm
BlackBerry Bold, Tour, Curve 8900

Blackberry users: The NFL Sunday Ticket Mobile app is near. Make sure MDS Connection Service & Collaboration Service are enabled.

Download the app here... http://m.directv.com/supercast

[DRod]

Should be up sometime after 11:00pm PT.

[tpayne105]

How do you make sure those two things are enabled???

[MIAMI1683]

Got to love it. Finally Blackberry gets some love. Now how about an regular app too ;).

[DRod]

How do you make sure those two things are enabled???
Here's a start...I'll keep looking for an easier answer.

[tpayne105]

Ok I am stupid...is this something you can do from your phone or on a computer....i really dont get how this works....and I am actually quite good with technology!

[zuf]

The settings mentioned in the document that DRod linked to are done on a company's BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

[davemayo]

From the link above, it looks like you have to do it from the BES if you are on an enterprise server. Not sure what to do if you are on BIS.

[tiger2005]

Sweet! I've been waiting for this.

[davemayo]

This link (http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/8857/BB_MDS-CS_438253_11.jsp) also refers to MDS as a setting in the BES.

[jimmyt]

if you are an enterprise user - you need to get your admin to turn on those rights.. if you are an enterprise user on blackberry professional software - right click on the user in bb manager and look at the text 9 from the bottom in the long list of things that show up - if it says "disable connection services" then mds IS ACTIVE.

Not sure about those on BIS however..

[davemayo]

I may have to bribe my IT guys to go in and change this setting on my BES account. :D

[tpayne105]

I appreciate all of you help. My blackberry is my own...not a corporate account. Is my phone ok to get this? It is a Blackberry 8330....

Thanks again

Todd

i hope this works for new nextal black berry if not i will be so mad for getting this phone

[Hoosier205]

The download isn't working. I'm getting a "907 invalid COD - File not found" error.

It doesn't look like it will work on your phone - the only Curve listed is the 8900.

[MIAMI1683]

I installed this app. and tested it.It is working on the Storm this morning. Very nice indeed.

[jimmyt]

miami - when you say "working" do you mean you were able to log in and then got the file is not available message and then clicked ok and it came up and said "Thanks for installing - see you on the 13th" ? or did you see the promo video?

[Mikemok1981]

The download for the BlackBerry Bold, Tour, Curve 8900 doesnt seem to be working for me. It says the page cannot be opened and then asks if I want to save the page. If I save I cannot open the file. Now the app for the Storm downloads and installs but of course wont run because I dont have the virtual keyboard. Anyone else having problems downloading and installing the app for the Bold, Tour, or Curve? I have the Curve 8900.

[philly33flyers]

Same problem here. Storm download downloads fine but the Tour download link asks to save it instead of just installing and then I get an error message. I assume they forgot something. Probably forgot to upload the cod files for that link.

[bluemoon737]

i hope this works for new nextal black berry if not i will be so mad for getting this phone

No luck for my 8820...I figured as much.

[DWisnoski]

When I downloaded onto the storm is made me save to my SD card and upon installation it gave the COD error.

4.7.148
BIS

[Bajanjack]

Do we have to pay extra for this now, or a trial period? Also, will this work on blackberry "flip"?

[MIAMI1683]

miami - when you say "working" do you mean you were able to log in and then got the file is not available message and then clicked ok and it came up and said "Thanks for installing - see you on the 13th" ? or did you see the promo video?

I saw both. Had to "sign in". Saw the video. Then it said see you on the 13th. Very cool indeed. Now all the BB users need is the DVR app too. Then we'll be good to go :D

[jimmyt]

huh - I got an error on the video .. werid.. oh well we shall see what sunday brings!

[Hoosier205]

This is not making me very happy. This app is not working for everyone. They released the blackberry app last and now we have less time to fix these problems.

[ljnskywalker]

I went to try to download the BB Superfan App to my storm, and the following error message appeared when I said, no to saving it to my SD Card. "Unsupported media type: test/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor" -- Might still be in testing?!?

[hdtvfan0001]

Despite these units having much the same OS - the World Edition, Curve 83xx, 85xx, and others make up the majority of BB users - and no support appears for them.

Approximately 75% of the Blackberries out in the field ARE NOT the models supported here...so this is indeed disappointing.

[belogical]

bizarre, sounds like they have the files switched or something.

i have a storm and can't download the storm version. it just asks me to save it, then when I open it it gives an error when trying to install it.

it will let me install the bold version fine on my storm though.

[Steveknj]

Is this only for Sunday Ticket Subs?

[jimmyt]

sunday ticket and superfan.. need both.. right now directv is dealing - you can get both for $150 :)

[tsduke]

Look like no love once again for the majority of us bb users.:mad: The curve 83XX is the biggest portion of BB's out there.

I just got it to work, here's how. When I tried to download it I received the msg. again asking if I wanted to save the file. I selected yes this time. Although it appeared that the file downloaded into the "downloads" folder, there was nothing there. I went back to the site, selected it app again for the Storm and this time, it asked if I wanted to download. I selected "YES" and it installed. After that, I was able to log in and watch the introductory video.

Thanks, you saved me the time of downloading and installing. I have no interest in ST, but if I could have a free BB app, I might look at it from time to time.

[snobrdridaho]

hey guys. i had 191 on my blackberry storm verizon. the error i got was can not "connect to server" i downgraded back to 148 works fine now. (for you crackberry fans)

[nbaez16]

ok it looks like the only one that work right now is the BlackBerry Storm but because that blackberry use a virtualkeyboard it downloads no problem ..... but it try and find a Virtualkeyboard ....... when you try and use the other app. it not working it comes up {907 invalid cod file not found } is any one else coming up with this plz give phone your use also .

Are you saying the keyboard doesn't come up when you open the app?

There are numerous other applications that work with the Curve, et al, that support the same capabilities....with or without a virtual keyboard....so that's not a viable reason.

So the fact that there is such a severe limitation towards only the small % of Blackberry users is truly disappointing. Furthermore, since the largest % of smartphone users in the market fall into the BB Curve, World Edition, and other such BB device groups ...its even more of a surprise that they would launch to such a resstricted number of users.

[DWisnoski]

I have a storm and still can't download this properly. I am very technologically advanced and it keeps asking me to "save" teh file and then I get an error. For you Storm folks are you BES or BIS?

[bfncbs1]

I am a Storm BIS sub and I was able to download it a few minutes ago with no problems.This was my second attempt. The first time it asked to save to my media card.

Logged in and watch the intro video. All is well.

[MIAMI1683]

For those Storm customers that it's not working on. What OS are you on. Are you on BIS or BES? Post details here for me/them i'm running a hybrid with a .151 base

[Hoosier205]

Still asking me to save it...

[morbid_fun]

I figured no love for the 83xx Curve. That sucks, but I can live through it.

I agree with you. There is no reason the Curve and World editions shouldn't be supported. It's all a JAVA language. We all know how difficult JAVA can be but still there are alot of Curves out there. More new versions coming soon too

Just got a Tour the other day and I did just what you said above and it behaved just as you describe.

[Grydlok]

wth lol I see only the newer phones.

[Bugg77]

I can't get this sucker to download onto my Storm. Keeps saying it can't open so I have to save it, then I try to open the saved file and download but the download fails with the COD error.

I'm on BIS with OS 4.7.0.151

Kake sure you are clicking the OTA and not the zip file. Zip will have to be extracted and installed on the DM. Also 5.0.191 this app won't work at all. It's super buggy anyways. Going back to .148 or .151 will allow this app to work.

I'm not sure what you're talking about as there isn't an option to d/l a zip file. when going to http://m.directv.com/supercast. It is a .jad for the BBs and a .cab for the WinMo devices.

Also, as I already stated, I'm running OS 4.7.0.151 (not on OS 5 yet because I use the Facebook app).

Oddly enough, I tried one more time and the sucker went right to downloading and installing. Login and video seems to work great!

Woohoo!

[sacalait]

I posted about an hour ago that this app was available on a BB forum. A couple of people reported that they were having problems like everyone here and just kept trying and suddenly it worked.

[jimmyt]

thanks.. I am on 191 as well.. looks like I will go back to 148 - or maybe 167 - too bad because 5.0 makes it a completely different phone.

hey guys. i had 191 on my blackberry storm verizon. the error i got was can not "connect to server" i downgraded back to 148 works fine now. (for you crackberry fans)

[DWisnoski]

is .151 and official release? I am still on .148 I wonder if that is the issue? I have have tried 30 times today

[Stuart Sweet]

I heard this from our sources at DIRECTV:

DIRECTV has identified the download issue and will be resolving it soon.

They know precisely the root cause of it, so I'm sure soon really does mean soon.

[jrocsworld]

Yeah I finally got mine to work...was starting to get a little worried!.. But I got the video to play and the "See you on the 13th" .. For those of you trying to save and run the file, it actually shouldnt prompt you to save and should go straight to the download screen. Also my introduction vid was freezing during playback. Who knows if the connection will be fast enough to broadcast a live feed....

[Bugg77]

Like I posted on Crackberry... if you're running a Storm with 4.7 OS you should be fine. I can't say anything about the folks running 5.0.

Just keep trying. It magically worked on mine after 15 or so tries.

Stuart,

Crackberry.com and Blackberryos.com (more like DBSTalk) are the two alot of people use. Oddly enough there was a thread posted there (bbos.com) about the coming app. Seems like this is going to be a popular app. I know i'll use it eveyweek :D

[ronkuba]

Any chance Directv will release 83xx version?

[sacalait]

What forum is that? I'm sure our friends at DIRECTV would like to know.

Bugg and I are referring to crackberry.com.

That is my Blackberry equivalent of DBSTalk for Directv.

[jimmyt]

4.7.x.148 is official for verizon - there have been leaks of 4.7.x.151 and .167 as well as 5.0.0.191. A lot does not work on 191 - but what works is awesome.. like a brand new phone!

is .151 and official release? I am still on .148 I wonder if that is the issue? I have have tried 30 times today

[sarhaynes]

is .151 and official release? I am still on .148 I wonder if that is the issue? I have have tried 30 times today

.151 is not an official release. It was recommended to me after several e-mails about performance issues on the blackberry support forum site. Here is the thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9500&thread.id=38822

This will tell you how to upgrade. Now to get :backtotop

I cannot get the application to download and install on my Storm with .151. I get the save to media card. If I say "No", I get "Unsupported media type: test/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor" If I say "Yes" it will save the file, but when I open the file I get the typical download screen for NFLSuperFan 1.0.21. When I hit "Download", the download fails with "907 Invalid COD" File not found (8).

Hope this helps.

[hdtvfan0001]

Good question....a couple million users would like to know....:D

Great app - thrilled. I would not be surprised if it doesn't run on any version of OS 5.

Another forum is http://www.blackberryforums.com

[Kash76]

I would be thrilled if I could run it on my Tour. The link still does not work!!

[MrLANlord]

STORM Experience...

Same download issue, but saved to media card. Second attempt then launched the OTA installer and it worked great afterwards.

So....Download and save the .JAD file then clink the link again and the normal download/installer will pop up and install over the air (OTA).

Or Blackberries get hoist by their own lack of common OS.

At least all the Winmobile 6/6.1 phones are on a common OS. And ALL the iPhones are pretty much on one platform. Lets see how they function when there are 10-15 models out there as there are with the Blackberry family... :)

Yes, java runs--but how similar are the calls to the network(s), OS, video, storage, etc. on each of the different devices?

Lets put it one other way? Why in the world would DIRECTV "want" to short shrift any major platform? If they could, they'd support every phone that has a screen capable of running even bad video. :)

When I run the jad after saving I get the following

907 Invalid COD

After you save the .JAD file, go back to the site and try to download again, don't try to run the file. At that point it might work. That is how many including myself were able to download it today.

I have a bunch of blackberry's....

9000 (Working)
8900 (Working)
8310 (Not Working)
9500 (Working)


The issue is with the .jad file...whomever created it did not link the 9 .cod files to the .jad installation file, thus the problem... Don't know how some users are reporting success as the installation file was not generated correctly...


----------

HERE'S THE FIX

Download the attached .cod files (for 8900, Tour and Bold only)......load all to your blackberry.....then the application will be loaded...Done.... Should show up in the download folder (default)


If you don't know how to load .cod files then you shouldn't be attempting this, nor asking...

[Tom Robertson]

True. I'm not one. In fact, while I had high hopes, I found I didn't like them. (Just a personal preference, I really have no particular bias. I'm happy many people do find them very useful.)

Alls I'm saying is that, just like the different Winmobile versions are quite different, all the different Blackberry models are different at the software and OS level. Some versions of Winmobile don't have the stuff to support Supercast, and some versions of the Blackberry OS don't either.

At least DIRECTV has tackled several Blackberry models. :)

Download and login works fine but I get a "loading video..." screen with a "file not available" message error bubble. When I click OK on the error bubble I get the " Thanks for installiong SUPRECAST.......See you then!" message. Guess we'll see if it's worling tomorrow.

It's not the phone....it the choice that was made as to which BB units to support....nothing prohibits the 83xx units from getting the same service, except the availability of the same kind of software.

the version installed last nite through the .cod files was *.21....so I checked the mobile download links again this morning and it worked and upgraded me to the newer version *.23 for the BOLD 9000. video looked beautiful in its preview and everything is working...it told me cya on sept 13!! bwahhahah

Tried the Curve install with an 8330..downloaded and passed the install fine...but when running...gives a RIM device type error message.

Looks like those of us with any Curve 83xx are out of luck.

I just downloaded the new version .23 from the site. Now when you go to the site, there is a msg that states:

"Requires an official OS release from you service provider"

After downloading .23 there was no more intro video, it goes right to the channel guide for tomorrows games.

I was able to get it downloaded and installed after a couple tries on Friday. However, every time I launch the app on my Blackberry Tour I get an "unable to connect to Directv server" error. I'm on a corporate-issued BES device. Does anybody know if this is an indication that I do not have blackberry MDS connection and collaboration service enabled?

[dtv757]

yea i was using SUPERCAST on my 8900 via wifi (VZ DSL ) and it was working great!!!

[cmrjm1019]

I just downloaded the app on my bold, is there anyway to test to see if it is working? Right now, obviously, since there is no game on now, it says the file is not available.

Thanks!

When I try to download with my BB Bold I get:

HTTP Error 504: Gateway Timeout

The gateway timed-out while waiting for a response from the servers. Please try loading a different page. Contact your service provider if this problem persists.

I suspect this is a brower-configuration issue, so my question is whether there are specific settings/modes the BB browser must be in to all this download?

EDIT: Had to set the browser to BLACKBERRY BROWSER instead of INTERNET BROWSER under OPTIONS | GENERAL PROPERTIES | DEFAULT BROWSER. Once done, download happened without error.

Any word on BB 8330?

[hdtvfan0001]

Any word on BB 8330?
Like you....I'd love to see that too....but suspect we won't see it this year.

For some bizzare reason, they omitted the largest smartphone install user group.

[jcookpb]

It is bizzare, all D* print ads for this service has had a BB 8330 pictured in the ad. No worries, I still got HD and online if needed.

[pyro383]

I was able to view the games on sunday with my nextel BB 8350i but in the afternoon at my friends house (connected to his wifi) I kept getting the DTV server issue and couldn't connect.

[MIAMI1683]

this app works on the Storm with 5.0.230 as an OS. So others with 5.0 may want to try it. I can verify it's working here

[hdtvfan0001]

For those who have one of the limited Blackberry devices that will work with SuperCast...you should try it and report on your findings.

This feedback is always useful for DirecTV to improve and solidify the product.

Unfortunately...I use the 8330, so I can't test....but others still should.

I wonder if D8 will support all the platforms now that 5.0 is VERY close to offical release for most/all of these devices. Once 5.0 is released it "should" make it easier for the developers

I received a msg. saying to upgrade to new version of SC 1.0.26 a couple of days ago. After upgrading I can no longer open SC. I receive the following msg:

Error starting NFLSuperFan: Module 'NFLSuperFan' does not match codfile timestamp of sibling module 'NFLSuperFan-6'

I tried deleting and re-downloading 2 more times with no luck. I am now seeing posts on crackberry.com from others with the same issue.

Anybody know of a fix coming or a workaround?

Thanks

Got this from DirecTV:

We just posted an update to the BlackBerry app for the Supercast.
Those that upgraded over the last few days need to upgrade again.

Are there any change logs available :nono2:?

OK...I downloaded and was able to use the app on Verizon BB Tour (9630 v4.7.1.40). The app worked very well. I was wondering if there is a way to use the "speaker phone" version of the audio instead of the standard phone audio (via headset). I tried pressing alt+$ (speaker phone key). This did nothing. I could turn up the volume to max, but still had trouble hearing it without a headset.

Is there a solution?

Thanks.

I'm with a lot of others, waiting on 8330 support. Switching to a HTC TouchPro 2 come January, so next year won't be a problem.

Just a heads up for anyone that got a Storm 2 this week..I played with Supercast today on my Storm 2 and it seems to work fine using the Storm app.

I just purchased my first blackberry, Storm 2, and subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket and want to add supercast to my phone. What address do I type in on phone in order to download this? Thanks.

:welcome_s to DBSTalk!

The address you need is in the first post of this thread. Here is is again: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/mobile/supercast/

Enjoy! :)

[RELLENBOGEN]

thank you very much. I will try.

I just got a Storm2 and after I download the app and tried to run it I get an error message saying "Unable to connect to DirecTV server." Any thoughts?

I'm on a BES but am technologically challenged when it comes to its settings.

[photostudent]

RIM (Blackberry) servers have been on the fritz. I have not had email for two days even though reports say the problem was solved this morning. This could relate to your problem.

[jimmyt]

When it says "lost connection" and you click "ok" it should continue on and work. If it does not, you need to talk to your iT department (or BES admin) to make sure you have MDS active.

However, it also depends on your OS - supercast does not work on the latest storm 2 leak .428 - it does work on the latest official.. .320. But it sounds to me like you are on .320 as you can login and see the games listed.

I don't actually see any games listed. I click on OK and the program closes. I am running on .320 fwiw. I will check with my IT department, although I don't have much faith in them. The last time I had a similar problem with my old Blackberry they assured me that their security settings shouldn't prevent me from running any programs on my phone. :rolleyes:
