Looking to free movie an tv app for iPad?

[geekchic]

So until I get Netflix, I am in need of a good app that team free tv and movies, preferably in Canada. Any suggestions?

Crackle is ok. Gotta sit through ads but it's free.

Will check it out, thanks! Heard it isn't so great for Canada?

For TV, CBC, CTV, Global & CityTv offer free
streaming apps for iPad and iPhone.
They offer a good selection of their over the air content. Most programs are available 24 hours after they air.

Sorry I'm a complete noob but I typed in global & city tv and nothing came up?

Are you in Canada?

Australia

That's why. Most TV networks do not stream (at least for free) outside their domestic markets. The other reason is distribution rights.
CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) may have a global app.

Have you checked out the BBCiplayet? It's not free ($8.99 per month) but you're not locked in. If you don't like it, cancel.

Ok cool ill have a look. Im finding most free apps offer movies and tv shows I've never even heard of, I'm looking for more recent shows and movies, same with free music downloaders, I've never heard of majority of the songs on offer!

As a courtesy, I'll just say that "free" content is not free. It is paid for or subsidized via commercials inserted in the programming.

This discussion is drifting into piracy territory, a theme not permitted on iPF.

Check your Australia based TV networks / stations for legal (sponsored) free or pay apps in the App store.

Good luck.

I am looking for something to be able to catch up on smash, etc. I am going to get Netflix soon, so I can watch it after my wisdom teeth are out while recovering.
