Anyone know how to watch race replays with the iPad? Every attempt is met with some proprietary issue. Thanks

Install the Skyfire browser. Your problem most likely is that you are trying to play Flash streaming media...

Skyfire has a workaround for that...a little clunky, but it works...

I hit (mail link to this page), typed in video@skyfire.com. iPad made the swooshing sound like it was being sent,but nothing in the que. Figured this topic would go away quickly. Wonder if it would work on one of the others like the galaxytablet? Thanks.

Mike & Dave,

Are you guys familiar w/ the "Photon" app? It seems to have better reviews than Skyfire.

where are you getting the replays from ?If this question was directed at me...I'm not...I have never watched replays on my iPad. I was assuming that most replay sites utilize Flash, and if that is the problem, one of these browsers that attempts to work around the Flash restrictions on an iPad might do the trick.

I was questioning the thread starter

kind of hard to answer the question until you know where the replays are coming from and what they are streaming them with..........

I am trying to get replays from Twinspires. Also,
streaming with Wild Blue satellite. I realize this is a longshot. Thanks

Ipad also tells me I need Adobe Flash. No kidding. Can't do that either - ON THE IPAD. Wonder if all this works on Galaxy Tab or any of the others?

I have an android tablet, it's riding around in the wife's purse right now.....when she gets home I will try it out

No flash is the Twinspires problem. I tried sky fire a while back and didn't like it

Stay tuned

Twin spires mobile is ok for live, but not replays.

I think I'm gonna spring for $5 and try the Photon flash browser. I'll report back.

Just saying thanks for all the help. I figured I would be stuck because of the o.s.
Got the iPad as a gift, so I'm kind of stuck. Thanks

Bought the Photon flash browser for IPAD and tried it out on a few stock charting programs that use Flash.

The bolded part of Mike's Skyfire review applies to Photon as well.
