Turn Your iPhone Into a Portable TV With These Apps
31. Sprint TV
iPhone users who have Sprint as their phone carrier are in luck: they get access to Sprint TV free as part of their monthly service plan. This app offers 15+ channels of live news and sports, and on-demand access to popular shows from networks like CBS, NBC, USA, MTV, and more. Upgrade packages are available that add more channels for $4.99-$9.99/month. Shows are available over 3G/4G and Wi-Fi.

32. Starz Play
Gain access to Starz programming on your iPhone through this app, including original series like Black Sails and The Missing, along with hit Hollywood movies. Subscribers can watch on up to 4 devices at once, and the app now supports Google's Chromecast device.

33. TBS
If you like to laugh, you may watch TBS' original shows like Conan and Tyler Perry's House of Payne. With this app, you can watch them--and more--out and about with your iPhone. As with many other TV network apps, this one requires that you sign in with your cable account username and password and checks to see if your cable company has a deal with TBS. If it doesn't, you're left with the clips, photos, and social features.

36. TNT
If you're a fan of the drama provided by original programming on TNT like Leverage, Rizzoli & Isles, and Falling Skies, this app will help you enjoy those shows on the go on your iPhone or iPod touch. However, this app is subject to the same restrictions as its sister app from TBS: you have to have a cable subscription and if your cable company doesn't have a deal with TNT, you won't get full episodes.

37. TWC TV (Time Warner Cable)
Remember when I mentioned that U-verse being open to anyone was a little unusual among cable-company apps? This app, and XFINITY TV below, prove it. TWC TV, from Time Warner Cable, lets users watch TV on the iPhone--as long as they're Time Warner Cable customers. If you've got Time Warner's Standard (Expanded Basic) service or higher, you've got access to the app, but the full set of channels you get depends on your cable plan. Live TV is available over Wi-Fi only (no 3G/4G).
Free app (requires Time Warner Cable subscription)More »
38. TV.com
TV.com lets you watch TV on your iPhone from an array of networks owned or co-owned by CBS, including CBS, the CW, and Showtime (you'll also find TV episodes from classic series from the past). Both 3G/4G and Wi-Fi are supported and there's no need to log into a cable or other company user account to watch shows.
