Orb & iPhone - Anyone having trouble signing in?

[aphex]

Previously, If you just navigated to http://www.orb.com on the iPhone, it would present you with the Mobile/iPhone version of the page and you could log in and use Orb without issue.

Today however, it doesn't seem to autodirect you to the mobile version anymore (even my direct mobile orb link comes up as Page not found), so there is no way to login.

Is this just for me? Or is everyone else having the same problem?

there should be a way to change it... i had my q9c pop up orb as a mobile page for awhile, but ever since i started using opera mini4 it works much better as a desktop page.

Its strange, I don't even see a link to find the mobile version and the 'Sign In' button cant be pressed on the iPhone

No prob, thanks for the update... Looks like someone at orb deleted a page they weren't supposed to

yeah no kidding... its like my phone isnt compatible with orb at all anymore... very strange. maybe theyre finally ready to start raping us with fees?

As with what you previously noted, I can log in via my.orb.com, but it appears the mobile interface is gone

where is everyone else on this? surely more people use orb? i mean everyone talks about slingbox and they act like its the only way...

The problem with Orb is it's piss-poor Windows MCE integration.

And I don't have an iPhone. Haven't used Orb in a couple of years either. It's a nice solution if you don't use your PC as a full-time DVR.

havent used orb in a couple years? do you have any idea how much its been improved over the last year alone?

Does it still require MCE to be stopped before it streams live tv?

 

[zig3695]

yes, it does. but thats a non-issue for me. i do understand why its a pain, especially when you have multiple tuners.

anyone actually try mycast.orb.com on your phone? my q9c pops up the page but when i try to login it says invalid password/login?

this is very strange, orb has been nothing but good for me for as long as ive used it... i havent really noticed though as my entire htpc is down anyway right now...
