Yes, that means while you're "working" you can catch that soccer game or FOX drama on your discreet, puny iPhone screen, or the iPad sitting in your lap where your nosy bosses shouldn't be looking.Īside from enabling you to veg out anytime and anywhere, being able to watch TV on your iPad in any room is also very liberating. The kicker is you can watch live or recorded programs on your iPhone or iPad with a complementary app available in the App Store. On your Mac, you can schedule programs for recording straight onto your hard drive, or you can just watch live TV.
