The Internet revolution that we are currently experiencing is rapidly, and almost imperceptibly, changing our daily habits and routines. Advanced Internet technologies are progressively redefining the way we purchase goods, pay our bills, read the news, share our experiences, and explore the world. 

As a result, multimedia content distribution is evolving at an increasingly fast pace, providing users with groundbreaking ways of consuming entertainment products. Recently, a group of prestigious cable operators have very proudly announced that their customers can now watch live TV on their iPads, at no additional cost. 
Namely, DirecTV, TWC, Bright House, and Dish have published fabulous user-friendly apps on the App Store that allow cable subscribers to immediately access dozens of cable networks directly on their iPads. Since there’s no need to use a remote control, the experience of watching live TV on an iPad is remarkably different yet delightful and gratifying. Having to use your fingers to scroll up and down, tap, select and perform “gestures” on the screen, represents an ingenious new way of turning an iPad into a state-of-the-art portable TV.
Surprisingly, iPad users were not able to watch live TV before. To enjoy TV shows, documentaries, TV series, and movies, iPad users had to rely exclusively on downloads or video-on-demand services, such as Hulu, Netflix, HBO GO, and Crackle.

Video-on-demand technologies are attaining a great level of success and gradually becoming people’s favorite method of watching TV. However, it is important to understand that allowing users to receive a live broadcast HD signal over the Internet opens a whole new world of possibilities.
As this technology continues to grow and the world evolves toward online delivery of multimedia content, users will be able to choose from a new array of entertainment alternatives. Imagine yourself using a tablet, mobile device or Internet TV to watch a performance of the Vienna Philharmonic live from Tokyo, a West End musical live from the Palladium in London, or an Aerosmith concert live from Johannesburg. 
The possibilities are endless. The technology that allows to live stream content with pristine image quality over the Internet is here to stay and will most definitely change the way we experience TV. 
If you’re a DirecTV, TWC, Bright House, or Dish customer, you’re welcome to download their Live TV Apps for free.

Let me know if you enjoyed the experience of watching live TV on your iPad and if you would like cable companies to introduce apps for other mobile devices.

Feel free to share any other app that allows you to watch live TV.
