Free Tv on your Computer and iPod Touch/iPhone
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Ok, here is another one I discovered, and am giving to you. I wanted to watch Live TV on my iPod Touch, but everything I found requires a TV tuner and I don’t have one.
The magical part of this is the TVUPlayer (choir singing “ahhhhhhh”) it lets you watch Live TV Shows Channels on your Computer. The first part of this how-to demonstrates how to install TVUPlayer.
Note: must have a Jailbroken iP(od Touch)one. (It is getting annoying to type in iPhone/iPod Touch, so iPhone includes both now.
“Read More” for Instructions
TVUPlayer:
- Download TVUPlayer
- Install and Lanuch TVUPlayer
- Click “English”

Easy? Ok, now for Watching on your iPod Touch/iPhone:
Using iP(od Touch)hone:
