Reviews:
Some of the reviewers seem to misunderstand this app.

This app is an aggregator—meaning all of the content available already exists out on the web for free, however, it does it in a very smart way. This is by far the easiest and fastest way to watch content from major networks. The content is recent, like news bulletins throughout the day. It plays instantly, no need to download first. And you have it all in one place, so you don't have to use multiple apps or visit multiple sites to get what you want. So if you're looking for an easy to use app that gets you the news quickly, this is for you. If you're looking for unique content which can not be found elsewhere, go look further. For me, it works perfectly.
Excellent on 3G!

Wonderful program for $3 bucks. People are way too critical and this works as described with no issues. People want to drive a mercedes and pay for a kia. If you want live tv on the iphone, go get a slingbox and buy a $29 mobile license from sling media. To get this program to work on 3G (yes, 3G) jailbreak the phone and through Cydia buy a $2 license to 3G Unrestrictor. This is exactly the quick shot of commercial free news or media was looking for. Tried other internet tv apps and they were not as good as this. Instead of throwing away $3 bucks on a hamburger, this app is a great addition to the iphone. The negative reviews were from people who were inexperienced users or expected something this program could not deliver. Making requests to add channels may be unrealistic. The author can't possibly respond to everybody lol. This app is excellent and exactly as described. Hope this review was helpful and informative. Enjoy!
Short and good

Is just what I wanted short news because of I have no time to wacth tv.
What do you want guys ? Live tv? For 2.99 come on !! You guys demand too much paying little. Not even the ultimates cellmobiles are capable to wacth live. AS FOR ME I'm quite satisfied , I'm up to date whit news that all. If you want live tv, be prepare to pay more than the few bucks you just paid for this. The quality picture is great
Better than keep on picking a good video quality in you tube it's a waste of time very often . I can wait for the improvements.
Good application.

Despite the bad reviews I did buy this application. I am satisfied with it. I have absolutely no technical problems, it does not crash for example. The selection of the channels is decent. Some have right now no content but I hope that this will change. It is true that most of the contents is some where free available on the Internet and on iTunes, but this application bundles a lot of different content in one easy to manage program.

Enfin une appli pour accéder aux vidéos qui ne laggue pas. Ici les contenus sont fluides. Trop agréable de pouvoir voir iTélé, puis d'un doigt, switcher sur CNN pour finir par se délasser devant MTV US.
Awesome!!

Read review before you complain. It's a lot of fun and it's easier than searching YouTube. Great picture quality and it's worth 10 bucks in my mind.

Super app! All my vodcasts together in a single click. I love the ease of watching the latest from CNN and SKY NEWS this way.
Worth the money for sure.
Content is better than YouTube and app is easier to use than iTunes
By: Ben77_O - Dec 17, 2008
Version: 1.0
It's not live TV but it’s prerecorded content from NBC, CNN, CBS, Comedy Central and lots of others, but some video is better than no video, right? In any case it's one click and you're watching the news, so much more user friendly than iTunes and better organised than YouTube.
Easiest way to watch TV
By: Daisy_W98 - Dec 17, 2008
Version: 1.0
This is what I've been waiting for. An easy to use app to watch all those channels that are out there. You can find most of these on the web or as podcast, but there was no easy way of watching those in the iPhone, until I found this one. The app is simple and straightforward, loads fast and the video quality is excellent. I'd like to see more local channels added in the future.
