Not an app.. but if you have flash then this site:

TVCatchup - Never Miss A Show Again

Freeview on your phone

DroidTV may be worth taking a butchers at

Yep, I'd vote for iPlayer too - not the app, but the website. I use Miren browser and if I set the UA to mimic the Chrome desktop browser, the iPlayer website thinks it's connecting to a desktop computer (rather than a mobile device) and I can sign in to the full-fat iPlayer, see my favourites and do everything that I can on my main computer.

I'm gonna put a one on the board for TVshows stream

Can you explain exactly how you do this? I hate that you can only access iPlayer via wi-fi.

It's OK. I've worked it out. Thanks

Please share how!

If I switch to Chrome UA everything goes Chinese and iPlayer site only has Radio 1 content

You can do it with the stock browser too - menu > more > settings > untick mobile view.
Restart browser, done.

You should have the full web version of every site now.
You should also be able to stream over the cell network now too. But bear in mind that a 1 hour long programme from iplayer comes to approx 500MB.
I think cell streaming depends on how busy the network is, & only on 3G/H.

There is an iplayer app, or you can just use the website.
Tvcatchup's good (website, no app)
There are loads more, have a rummage in the market.



For video stored on your phone, rockplayer app or vplayer app

TVCatchup Mobile (m.tvcatchup.com) is great on the HTC Desire HD

But play it using RealPlayer from the market (Free), as it is great quality. With any other video player (inc. stock) it is crap quality

This is better than bbc iplayer as it does not require you to use your wifi.

beebplayer.apk - 4shared.com download free

Quality ain't great though on live.

For live TV streaming m.tvcatchup.com (or the iPhone version if getting Dolphin HD to mimic the iPhone UI) is way better.

Get a torrent app.
Vplayer &/or rockplayer are good for playback.
