Install the right app directly on the media player
Today, you no longer need to sit in front of your TV to watch a live show. With the app, this can also be done on a smartphone or tablet. To do this, sometimes you have to be in your home WLAN, but there are also applications that allow streaming over the mobile Internet.
Please note that you usually only have free access to TV apps for a limited area. This means that public channels can be received for free; private channels usually have to be activated with a monthly paid subscription. In addition, advertisements are usually displayed in a free version. Below we show you the best TV apps for Android and iOS that you can use to quickly and easily transfer your TV to your smartphone and tablet via the Internet.

Live TV and video streaming services
In this article, we introduce you to applications that can watch regular TV shows in real time. However, streaming services are also on the rise. Netflix, Amazon Video and Co. are very popular.
In contrast to TV apps, they usually do not offer live TV, but instead represent a media library where you can watch movies and TV shows for a fixed monthly fee [usually 8 to 16 Euros]. Quotes are updated regularly, and providers rely on proprietary content that they produce themselves. An exception is services such as DAZN or Eurosport Player, which show live sports events.
