Watch free pay channels on the Internet with these mobile apps

Every year, the communications market is saturated with mobile devices of various brands, models and features, seeking to position themselves among the tastes of the most demanding buyers. The times when cell phones were only used to receive and/or make calls are long gone.

Now, there are requirements and needs in relation to the use of Smartphones that go beyond the basics, which is why they are now considered smart phones. From interaction on social networks, GPS, cameras, to the almost infinite possibilities offered by the various applications. Regarding the latter, what about watching television from the smartphone? Is it possible?

It certainly represents a very attractive option, especially when you are in the middle of a long and boring trip, enjoying a dream vacation, but you do not want to disconnect from the rest of the world. Keeping up to date with the news, programs, favorite series and why not? The occasional movie, like the ones you watch if you have a Netflix account.

You're probably excited about the idea, but you think that considering the cost of data connection, as well as the membership to a TV company, it's not very profitable. But what if I told you that it's possible to watch TV for free from your smartphone?

Since I brought this to your attention, I would like to invite you to continue reading the following post, as I will show you the best ways (because there are several) for you to watch television from your mobile device. Including, of course, the best free TV Apps.

The best ways to watch free TV from a Smartphone

As I mentioned in previous paragraphs, it is possible to watch good TV channels from your device in many different ways, and on this occasion I want to show you only those that enjoy trust and reputation among a large number of users. So I assure you a pleasant experience. Well, you can watch TV from a mobile phone using:

Chinese terminals

Chinese phone manufacturers and developers are always at the forefront of adding features to their devices, one of which is the ability to watch TV on the phone. Obviously, for those of us outside their borders, this is not so common.

This is why it is possible to have DTT (Digital Terrestrial Technology) on Chinese terminals. However, and to be honest, it is a difficult option and, if you like, the most complicated of all. Given that Chinese terminals are not so popular in our regions, and also, as we all know, there is no guarantee that we can use them effectively, at least in Europe.

In any case, since my mission is to show you the alternatives available to you, I want to recommend the newest Chinese terminal that comes integrated with DTT. It is the Asus Zenfone Go TV Smartphone, which has been on the market for just over a year.

This device offers full connectivity to free TV, and its basic configuration is simple. It is therefore one of the best in the category of free TV Apps.

Hire online TV services

Another possibility, before moving on to mention the free TV apps, is to watch television thanks to the extension of contracted services.

These may be offered by our telephone operators, or even by the company that provides digital television services.

The latter, in addition to the development of new technologies and applications, increasingly offer the possibility of accessing their TV channels from a Smartphone.

All of this through an account associated with them, or through an exclusive application for their users. You could ask your service providers about this possibility, which is very interesting, especially when we are looking for a specific channel or series, and which we may have already enjoyed on TV.

DTT adapter for use on Smartphone

In this case, it is a device that connects via the USB port of the Smartphone, and allows you to watch television without having to install free TV apps.

As its name suggests, this is an adapter that allows the DTT signal to be replicated to our terminals, similar to the decoders of domestic digital television companies. This small device, which is not very popular, can be purchased in almost all electronics stores for a price of around 40 euros.

Its main advantages are that it does not require a data connection to enjoy TV; and that the terminal with which you will use the adapter does not need to be a mega machine in power, since it only requires a minimum of 512 MB RAM and a 1 GHz Dual Core processor.

Free TV Apps

As a last resort, there is the possibility of downloading from the PlayStore some applications that stand out for their popularity and wide range of channel offerings. The ones I will mention below are those that have been proven to be effective so far.

Well, you should know that most free TV apps work for a while and then stop working or their quality deteriorates. Therefore, if you have decided to download a free TV app, then consider one of the following:

Mobdro

This is an application that enjoys a certain reputation for having hundreds of national and international channels to enjoy.

Its interface is as simple as selecting the link of the preferred channel and starting to watch it live.

However, as disadvantages, it should be mentioned that it is not found within the Playstore, but is downloaded from its own external page (click here to download), which does not request additional permissions, but does contain some advertising.

In addition, more and more people are saying that only English-language channels are available since they launched their Premium version. But you have nothing to lose by trying it.

RapiFutbol

This is not a free TV app, but rather a website (http://www.rapifutbol.tv/), which offers many free channels that can be enjoyed from your Smartphone.

SPB TV

In the case of this free TV app, although it can be downloaded from its website, it is also available on the Google PlayStore.

YouTvPlayer

It is perhaps, if you analyze the best free TV apps of the moment, the best of all.

It is creating a buzz, given that in addition to offering multiple options for television channels to view, it is presented as a social player with additional features (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).

So there you have it. Each method and each of the free TV apps has its own way of acting. It will all be up to you, weighing up the lightness of the execution on the smartphone, the quality of the image offered, and the consumption of additional resources (data, battery).

Do you know any other?
