Figured I would make a thread so people could tell others what apps they are using for Live TV streaming. My favorites are "World Sports Streams" "Mobdro" and "Live Stream Player". Mobdro basically has all the Filmon streams, plus a few other streams, but the good thing is that all of the UK streams are not geo blocked like they are on most other Filmon streaming apps. World Sports Streams is great for good quality sport streams and it gets updated frequently. Live Stream Player does not list the streams, but instead lets you search for streams. If you wanna watch a channel just search for it and all of the stream that have that name will popup. Feel free to post your favorite apps for live TV streaming. Please do not include XBMC/Kodi, cable or satalite apps, or official channel apps like HBO, cause people already know about those apps. This is just for Live TV streaming apps that people may not know about.

Do you mean "Mediahhh"? Mediahhh is a great app for the UK channels from Filmom, but it never has all the UK channels, but the best feature is that it has a guide for each channel so that you know whats on now and whats coming on. Do not to list apps that have geoblocked content, cause most of your apps can only be watched with UK IPs. Also, only list apps that have free content that do not require a subscription.
Hey Guys,
Eliot here CTO at Mediahhh, I just wanted to come and say that I'm glad to see you talking about Mediahhh, just to let you know were adding more content as soon as we can, as well as loads of cool new features, Chromecast Support for instance is only just around the corner now, and we hope to have that released very soon. And support for even more platforms than the current Windows, OSX and Android.
Anyway if you have any feedback about the app let us know as we're always looking to make it the best it can be.
Best
Eliot

Thanks for noticing. I really like your app. I know I ranked Mobdro ahead of your app, but its not because I do not like your app, its because the Mobdro app has all the Filmon UK channels and your app doesn't. Thats the only reason, but your app is better in every other way. Your app probably has the best UI of any noncommercial live streaming app that I have found. I love how I can watch and still navigate through the app at the same time. Plus the guide is a great feature that not many noncommercial apps have. I also like that all your links work. Its not just a bunch of useless links like a lot of other apps. I only use Filmon for the UK channels. You said you are gonna add more channels, are they going to be more Filmon channels or from a different source? Is it only going to be more UK channels or from other countries too? Maybe you could add Sky Sports and the WWE Network.
Mobdro crypto mines now. Avoid like the plague.

I used Mobdro, this is a great application to watch online. It is compatible with my phone when I use it with the upgraded Mobdro Plus version.At MobdroPlus.com you can install the free Mobdro application to your device. This is the leading supplier for the whole world.

No such thing as Mobdro Plus.
There was a Mobdro Premium but they did away with that for Freemium that is ad revenue based.

A lot of the apps listed are UK Based and require a VPN. Also World Wide Sports looks like it hasn't been updated in 5 years. Anyone else got suggestions ? Even very good Kodi plugins would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear it got rejected. I wrote an article about the app so hopefully it'll get you some attention and donations.
http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-reddit-app-reddtv-rejected-by-amazon-apk-made-available-to-sideload/
If I were you, I'd re-submit the app to Amazon for smartphone Android devices. If it gets approved, it will allow the app to appear on the Fire TV's home screen when sideloaded. See here for more info.

Hopefully amazon reconsiders it because its a very cool app!
I just have 2 criticisms--better remote support, the web pages are sort of difficult to navigate. My keyboard would probably work fine but I'd much rather scroll with remote.
--better video integration, you can't stop, pause or resume the video. I was watching a short documentary that was about 30 minutes. I had to leave the room so I tried to pause it and it didn't work. The only way to stop it is the press back or home, but then there's no option to resume. You need to watch it all over again because you also can't fast forward.
Its a great app IMO. And I think its a bad decision on Amazon's part to not include it. Thanks!
Thanks AFTVnews for the plug! Thank you again on the tip, I'll submit the latest build to amazon this week for phone.
Amazon replied to my inquiry on Saturday with a clearer explanation. Hopefully we can come to a agreement on a version of the app being approved.
Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like the video clip you were watching was not a youtube clip. Can you point me to the reddit post that linked to the video you watched?
Hi All.
the purpose of this thread is to combine all the information we have about watching Live TV on our devices.
I'm purposely avoiding Kodi addons, they seem to come and go due to their questionable legality, and it's a hassle to keep up, there are already multiple webpages discussing them.
here goes nothing.
Proper Live TV
1) Android TV Live channels
it's in my opinion the best way to watch TV on Android TV devices, the necessary framework, but does not seem to be popular at this stage
2) NHK World app.
NHK world is a fantastic app to watch NHK World TV, recently made Android TV compatible, it does not yet integrate to Live Channels, I have sent NHK an email requesting for this, but have not heard back.
If you support this, please send them an email, the more the merrier.
3) Cumulus TV.
This app allows you to manually enter HLS streams into Live channels, it's got great potential (if you have some HLS streams) but it does not work properly at this stage. developer is working on fixing it.
If you have any HLS streams or m3u8 links, please contribute.. if this takes off make we can share json files.
4) Mediahhh
App for UK Live TV channels, works great, not available in the play store, does not integrate with Live channels unfortunately. emailed them but no response.
Semi Live TV
1) Pluto TV.
Great app, makes channels from youtube sources, and integrates to Live channels. try it!
2) Haystack TV
Has a few Live USA channels, doesn't integrate with Live channels.
3) Class6ix news
Has news channels tailored to your location, I believe it works in US, UK and AUS
thats about it from me..
anyone?
Just wanted to point out that the current version of CumulusTV from the play store (1.4.10) as you mentioned doesn't work.
It has been fixed for a week now with the release of version 1.5.1
Two options to get the latest release is either sign up for beta's on the play store by just visiting this link:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.felkertech.n.cumulustv
OR, get the latest compiled APK direct from github and sidelaod it
https://github.com/Fleker/CumulusTV/releases

There are a bunch of apk's floating around here's a link to some http://justnewtech.com/android-apk/
The best way to watch live tv for me is through kodi. There are a bunch of free addons-Castaway,DNA TV etc. They are pretty stable. If you want something that's really stable try DEXTER TV in kodi. The pro version cost about 5 bucks a month and has 390 live channels in HD.

Hi there.
thanks, most of these are for on demand watching.
what I'm looking for is live TV.
some are "live TV" basically just point to an HLS stream from somewhere on the internet, but the selection of streams is very poor.
ccloud is one of these addons that is supposed to be the best atm, but it has gone downhill to the point of being unusable.

Mobdro ( has ads)and Husham ( no ads) live tv apk are live tv apps. Hushams app has 600 channels.
Most people know that kodi addons go up and down however Dexter is the most stable. 5 bucks a month for 390 channels ( most in HD) is cheap. The "donation" is for the equipment to keep the channels going. Other IPTV services charge alot more. I don't know of any other live TV apps that are free!!! apert from the first two apps I mentioned, but they only stream in SD. I'm not affiliated with Dexter but so far that's the most stable source I've found. BTW there are way better addons than cCloud.
Cheers.

Do they integrate with the Google Live Channels app? After testing some of the ones listed in the earlier directory I can say most of the ones I tried not only did not integrate, they did not work half of the time or required the use of a touchpad or airmouse simply to navigate around. Disappointing.

Yeah, I agree with you, very dissapointing.
Although, we can sort of expect this of some dodgy app, but for mainstream apps, this should not happen. It's not that difficult to change the app for proper Android TV controls, and Live channels. they probably can't be bothered due to the low user base.

You should bring that up in the FB group or email them. Are you using DEXTER PRO? The regular Dexter(non pro) will be down for a awhile. Like any other addon there is sometimes a server overload however the Dexter team is good at getting it( pro version) up an running quickly. Clean your cache in kodi that may help.
LWS, UK turks, Channel Pear, Ares streams, Khaoz live tv and Navi X have live TV channels. Not every channel works but you can save the ones that do to your favorites.

Dang that sucks. I remember i had some issues in the beginning.I think i had to register through their webpage (not the FB) then it worked after that.
Anyway there is a custom kodi build called the Gears of War and Gears of War TV. It has live tv channels that are exclusive to the build. it's free this offers some good stuff. The build is being released later tonight. Oh it gets updated at least once a week sometimes twice so the channels are pretty stable.

for live channels
seems it will only sync with haystack and pluto
anymore that yall know of that will work with Live Channels?
There's a few apps for the HDHomeRun devices. I forget the names since I quit using them when I sold my old HDHomeRun. The cool part with the HDHomeRun is that it would let you watch any cable channel (You could also use an antenna) you have including DRM ones playback in Live Channels. There's also PuppetMaster.TV which has news from around the world and some live streams from the International Space Station. The Weather Network which gives you nationwide weather reports but shows your local weather on screen overlaid on top of it. Bloomberg and Haystack TV both support Live Channels now as well.

Also has anyone had any luck with configuring Cumulus TV? I can't get it to work with any IPTV streams.
Apparently this game is Fire Tv only: http://www.amazon.com/Shantae-and-the-Pirates-Curse/dp/B015QGY98G
Sadly I do not have a Fire TV and they are not available in my country, could someone with a Fire TV download the game and extract the apk using es file manager? I could send you the money or maybe I can buy it from the amazon website with a dummy account and send you the account information so you could download the game, extract the apk and send it to me? Any advice guys on how I could download this game without a fire tv? That Game is a great metroidvania platformer and apparently works for most android tablets I may even have find a way to play it using touchscreen controls, (the method worked with the android Shovel Knight). Please help.
I try some chrome browser add-ons in the past to get the apk, but I thin non of them work really good.
Didyou try to get in contact with the developer?
Really strange that they did not support other devices. Perhaps they work on that at the moment.
You are not alone...
I can buy it for you and provide you the apk but you should create a german amazon account for this a it seems you need to buy it for 18€.
Just write me a pm if this your choise of way to try to play that game.
Greetings by Idijt
Yeah the devs sadly have no plans to release the game outside the firetv, it is a firetv exclusive like Shovel Knight, a shame because this game works on a lot of other devices at least according to the comments on the game reviews. Thanks a lot for the offer I will send you a pm if I find no other way to get the game.
Anyone from the USA willing to buy the game and extract the apk for me? I will give you the money of course.
