Unlike other applications presented in this review, the developers of Crystal TV made the program absolutely free, but for this they added to it paid subscriptions, thereby recouping development costs.
It is noteworthy that "out of the box", as they say, we have several free Russian channels: First, Peretz, RBK and STS. Yes, the list is, of course, small, but if you buy a three-month subscription, which costs about $ 9, you can get a complete list of channels, from news to sports.
As for the interface of the application, it turned out to be rather inconvenient, and it does not look so beautiful against the background of competitors. Hangs in work are periodically visible.

Quite recently, the service decided to change its name, but apart from the name, the developers have updated the list of available channels for viewing, as well as changed the application interface, which has become more convenient and practical.

Outcomes
Each of the applications presented in the review has its own pros and cons, but you still need to pay attention to all programs. I liked it the most. SPB TV, an old, kind application that has delighted me since the days of Symbian. The final choice depends only on you.
PeersTV is an online TV for Android. Anyone can download it to their smartphone or tablet and watch their favorite channels, series or programs for free. The program has many features and additional functions which are rarely found in other similar applications.
Program features
PeersTV implements functions that allow you to watch not only the broadcast, but also the recordings of the desired programs.

- pause the broadcast and, having finished the case, continue watching exactly from the place where you left off.
The only negative among the masses positive aspects the absence of some channels in the list of available ones becomes. For example, such as STS or TNT. Unfortunately, the copyright holders of the content of these channels do not grant the rights to broadcast them, but the issue is being resolved and, possibly, the situation will change in the near future.
In order to start using the application, you just need to download and enable it; it does not require special settings. An important prerequisite for viewing is an Internet connection.
Interface
Do not be afraid that you will not be able to understand the application interface - it is simple and understandable for every user. In addition, after being installed on Android, the application will independently prompt the new user about the main directions of interaction.
When you open PeersTV, you are taken to the main screen, which contains a list of all available channels. Favorites appear in this list first, but for this they need to be marked first. Main screen also contains a settings menu and a section popular channels.
The settings section is necessary in order to connect the ability viewing IPTV if the provider provides one. To do this, you must specify the city and the name of the company providing Internet access.
The "popular" tab contains the broadcasts that you watched most often over a certain period of time. After choosing a channel, we get to its individual menu. It is made in the form of a calendar sheet, where you can watch the current broadcast or select a recording of broadcasts for the past days and easily watch the program that you missed.
Among other things, PeersTV has excellent feedback... You can be sure that by sending a request to the support service, you will definitely receive a response as soon as possible.

Introduction:
Topic online television is now quite popular and every time it appears more and more and more apps... What is the problem with dozens of applications appearing at once? It's just that the video streams through which the channels are broadcast are closed over time and the application simply becomes unusable, and in this case, you just have to look for a new application in which everything is already working. V paid apps there are no such problems, all this applies only to free ones. The app can be a lifesaver for those who have stopped working current application, while the desire to watch TV has not disappeared.
Functional:
There is no need to wait for any achievements in terms of the interface, the main screen immediately displays a list of all TV channels, presented in the form of logos and names. A total of 59 channels are presented, among which there are both Russian and Ukrainian. You don't need a third-party player to view it, everything is immediately built into the application itself, so you just need to click on the channel once and wait for the buffering process to finish. If by clicking on the Back button the application does not close, then you can use the Exit button, which is located in the right upper corner... The quality of the channels is quite acceptable for viewing on a tablet or smartphone, but on TV, most likely, the quality will be severely degraded. There are also sync issues on some channels, so be careful.
Outcomes:
You can forget about the settings, everything is initially configured before you and works great. Let's summarize: - this is another "spare" client for watching TV in online mode with a sufficiently large set of channels for any choice. Enjoy your use!

Free TV channels on Android smart TV boxes or on your smartphone?
The idea to write a large material in which to tell in all details about watching programs from TV on Android devices came after a dispute that we saw in the comments to one of the entries on the site.
The bottom line is this: one user was trying to prove to another that consoles on Android are useless, and why run applications on them that are designed for smartphones. We decided to put an end to the disputes, and TV shows, films and other video content became the key argument.
After all, no one will argue that on big screen your favorite TV show looks much cooler. they are able to make the consumption of content more convenient and in large volumes: at any time, without restrictions, we get access to any show and TV channel. The main thing - good internet.
