watch live tv news - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there an app that will let you watch CNN? MSNBC? I mean it would be nice if there was an app that let you pick any available live news channel, but I will be happy with just one of the big news channels live news feeds. I dont care about stories, or video clips, I want to see what is showing live on CNN or one of the big new channels

You can get this app called xbmc and then just install a plugin called navi-x or maybe google a cnn plugin. You can find xbmc on xda.

I have a dish network receiver with sling built in, so I just use the dish app to watch mine. Works for live or recorded tv and its no extra cost.

Any good 3rd party YouTube apps out there?

Going from iOS to android is an amazing chsnge. Everything is better. Especially the Google apps. Unfortunately there's one problem with the YouTube app. Where's the deticated subscription only videos tab. Only a channel feed which is just filled with videos my subscriptions liked commented etc. Am I missing something or what but I can't find the subscription only view mode.
Youtube app version: latest 4.0.23

For you xbox users "xbox smartglass"

From The Verge:
"We've been excited about Microsoft SmartGlass since we first got a look at it during E3, and now it's time for Android users to get in on the fun: the app has officially been released for Google's mobile platform. The app requires Android 4.0 or higher, and will allow users to interact with their Xbox 360 to control video playback, navigate the interface, and search content. The real magic happens with it comes to interactive content, however: as we saw back in June, game developers and content creators can use the SmartGlass platform to offer additional information, second-screen gameplay, and even let users browse the actors in the scene of a given movie to see what else the peformers have been in.
It's not yet clear how much content has been equipped with SmartGlass functionality just yet — and there's no sign of the iOS app for that matter, either. Still, this release is an important step towards Microsoft making its new vision for the living room come to fruition."

I love the smartglass app on this phone. It's taking some getting use to, really like using the Internet browser on the tv and typing with my phone as well as being able to scroll.

I read about this app the other day. Did a search for it and couldn't find it. Guess it's actually out now. Def interested in trying it since I've already found out it plays nice with my xbox for watching my movies and pics and listening to music from my S3. Almost effortlessly in fact. So this smartglass app should work pretty good since the chinese remote I bought don't work all that well, haha.
Love this app since comes really in handy if your not able to connect from your xbox

Sky Sports TV streaming using HTC Media Link

Is there any way of making the quality of this better ? The app opens up its own player so it doesnt stream as good as if it opened up in the HTC Video app. Still pretty great for a fiva a month!
Are you referring to the sky go app? If you're rooted you can stream from sky go by hiding root and then using the 3-finger swipe to stream.
The quality in sky go will take a moment to settle but you'll end up with a 720p picture which is isn't so bad.

It's not sky go theres a sky sports tv app. I am streaming that way... But the stream quality is not as good when it also plays on your phone, its better when it opens up in the HTC media player but sky force there own player

Nobody in here that can actually provide a copy of the Youtube apk for FireTV? I'm having the same problem here. When I try and buy any of the free apps on the Fire TV, I get the good old geo-restriction errors. Also cant get them using a web-browser. The APK's that are available from the Play Store and the one for the Google TV are not ideal.
Could somebody please try and see if they have the apk they could upload somewhere so we can adb it to our devices? Great many thanks to someone willing to help out here!
???
What about the YouTube HD MOD also found here on XDA as a direct apk download?
Then again I want one with unrestricted access that doesn't block certain videos because of Android.
Some of Pewdiepie's videos (BattleBlock Theater Part #3) don't appear on his channel through the app,but I can find them by directly searching for them in the app.
Hey, guys, try this, just pulled from my device for you.

This one was installed using Play store, it's a google tv version. I like it.
Have you tried YouTube for XBMC?
Not sure if the Youtube XBMC add-on will solve your problems but it's worth a shot for sure.
