    Talking Stream UK TV on iPhone



    Imagine a TV streaming service completely designed and optimised for iPhone and iPod Touch users. Imagine all the main UK TV channels, BBC 1, BBC2, Channel 4 etc available live in your hand on any wireless network. Well imagine no longer as iPhone TVcatchup.com has released a beta of their dedicated iPhone streaming service.



    The service is simple to use, load up mobile Safari and visit TVCatchup iPhone the bad news for some readers is the service is only available in the UK.

    iPhone users who reside outside of the UK trying to access the site will be informed they are “not authorized” to view the content. This isn’t anything special to this application as Plex users have seen this sort of country specific access on content for a few years now.

    Obviously the service is clearly still in beta so it isn’t fair to be too critical. Initial impressions though are very positive, both the audio and picture quality are stunning.

    The streaming feed appears to be around 15-20 seconds behind the broadcast version which is particularly impressive given we are viewing the TV in a web browser.

    An extremely good web-app, 'apparently' it is in the works for an App Store application to be released in the near future. If you haven't heard of this site before check out:
