The scope for practicality that smartphones have introduced since their burst onto the market is huge. Email pushing, instant messaging and application usage have revolutionized the way mobile phones have been used, and this has gone further to allow users to watch TV on their phones.

Live and recorded viewing is available to anybody with a good smartphone that has a 3G or Wi-Fi connection, and is very easy to set up. Whilst Apple initiated the original smartphone revolution, Google’s Android has made huge ground in creation competition, and watching TV on their smartphones is no exception, offering the opportunity for users to watch hundreds of TV channels on their portable devices.

In order to watch TV through a mobile phone, there are several requirements necessary. Firstly, as has been mentioned, an Internet connection of a good quality such as a 3G network or Wi-Fi is necessary. Low connectivity can cause problems with the stream of the TV channels. Secondly, a smartphone good enough to handle high volumes of data is required. Any Android smartphone from the past two years should be sufficient for such a task, but the more recently released and faster phones are more likely to yield better results. Thirdly, other software may be required on the phone in order to provide the viewing of the stream. Often, this is in the form of the latest Flash Player software, which is free for download from maker Adobe’s website. Finally, the crucial element required in order to watch TV on your Android phone is the application that will enable you to do it. Watching TV through the web browser on your phone can be clumsy, possibly slower and time consuming due to the fact that the website offering the TV channels may not be designed for mobile browsing. As such, a mobile phone application can speed this process up. There are a number of applications available that allow you to watch TV on your smartphone, which we will now go into.

Both paid and free applications are available to download from Google Play [Android Market] , all of which offer good service. Due to the good quality of the free applications, you can use them in order to save money.
