Best way to watch all your favourite streaming tv/movie sites on ios

_Whimsical_

The answer : XBMC
Installing and using it has recently got a LOT easier.
You need to be jailbroken. XBMC is so good it's actually well worth jailbreaking for though.

A few years ago this was a complicated little program and required scouring the net looking for addons for all your favourite sites. However a new utility will set the program up for you with no need to do any manual configuration yourself, no looking for addons or trying to add them etc.No nerdy input required at all,its now easy. Run XBMC Hub Wizard app and it then presents you with all your favourite sites like Project Free TV and more within the app.

I am amazed at how well it runs, no jittering or stuttering or loading. There is also an enormous catalogue of stuff to watch from live TV channels to all the online streaming sites everyone uses. It makes the ipad/iphone/ipod pretty much perfect.

You still have to jailbreak your ios device for that too though.

Or without jailbreak, the answer is Sky Go, Horizon TV app, RTE Player, BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4OD, Netflix, Blinkbox, AVPlayerHD and Plex (esp. with PlexSync service now live). (The apps sitting in my entertainment home screen folder.)

Without Jailbreak, I use Photon browser which plays flash.
Works perfectly with Plus1HD & Noobroom.

I have to agree with XBMC. Since installing it, it's pretty much all I use my ipad for. I have two HDDs plugged into my asus router acting as a NAS which is pretty amazing through smb in xbmc. Love the way all my movies and TV shows are catalogued. I also have all the streaming addons such as rte, 4od, notfilmontv, usanow, veetle, navi-x, etc. which are pretty amazing. Get a real debrid account and add your credentials to the resolver settings, it makes a huge different in speeds and number of links.

All this combined with YouTube and Netflix, you don't need any tv at all. Can't remember the last time I watched TV actually.

I only use XBMC for online streaming of sports. I use Netflix mostly for online streaming of TV shows and movies.

Anything not available on Netflix that may be streamed from sites, I prefer to download the tv show or movie and stream locally. For that I use Plex both on ATV2 and ipad. XBMC doesn't run anywhere near as smoothly as Plex for me and just isn't as nice to use.

Can horizon tv app be added to XBMC?
