The Bell Canada has created an app for the iPhone—Mobile TV—which, as the name implies, allows you to watch live TV on your phone. The channels available on Mobile TV include, but are not limited to, MTV, the Comedy Network, Treehouse, YTV, CBC News Network, the Weather Network and TSN. This app will only work over the Bell 3G Networks; thus, users must be Bell customers.
A number of applications are being developed to allow iPhone users to watch live TV on their phones.
