AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Features:

SPB Software ported their amazing mobile television software to Android! Now you can watch TV on the go without a subscription, only one time fee. There are many channels to choose from, though you may not find your cities local channels. The app features Picture in Picture (PIP), TV Guide for the day and week (where available), easily exports show reminders into your Google Calendar with reminders, and adjust volume and brightness.

In the free version by default there are only 5 channels available, which is not enough to entice buying the full version (hopefully SPB Software can make some improvements there). Once you have the full version to expand the channel list, it will justify the cost (provided you like the channels offered). You can suggest channels to SPB Software which could be included in future releases.
