Video in Browser

Shouldn't MS have similar browser experience on both RT and WP8? I can login to cable provider's website and watch tv on my RT device but can't using my windows phone. Why? It would be awesome on 1520.

Have you tried changing your browser to desktop mode and not mobile.

If your cable provider's website use Flash if so then that is why.

RT can use Flash

No Flash for WP Device

Thanks for the reply.. That's the reason, flash issue. Will Microsoft workaround this? I use xfinity and I've wrote to them about getting a official wp8 app but they basically aren't interested enough yet.

I plan on getting the 1520 and would love to use the screen to watch tv programming on it.

Microsoft can't use Flash without the permission of Adobe and Adobe has killed off the mobile version of Flash so we won't see Flash support on Windows Phone.

Not really true considering BB has it natively. MS could use it but decided against it. I'm sure Adobe wouldn't mind having their product on more devices.

From my understanding it's a battery hog.

That's because at the time Flash Mobile was still in development so they added it, Blackberry still had to get permission from Adobe to use it though. Flash Mobile development has ceased, Adobe even confirmed it months ago.

It still works well on BB and Android. I really do wish we had the option.
