MK802: TNT Streaming App

I got excited when I saw this article on GeekSugar about TV apps for your iPhone and Android devices.  I thought to myself, I have an MK802!  I went through the slides.  The apps can be put into two categories: TV Providers and Channels.  A lot of TV Providers, like Comcat and Time Warner have started to provide apps to stream TV.  You have to be a subscriber to take advantage of those services.  I have Verizon FiOS, which is NOT on the list of TV Providers that have a streaming app.  The next category are the channels that provide their content to a streaming app.  Most are premium channels, like HBO and Showtime, but TNT was on the list.  There are a few TNT shows that my wife and I watch.  I fired up the Play store on my MK802 and discovered that it wasn't available.  I decided to install the app onto my Nexus 7 and used Bluetooth App Sender to upload the APK file to my Dropbox account.  On the MK802, I installed the APK file off of Dropbox.  After starting the app, two things happened: 1) the screen rotated so all the content was sideways and 2) the app crashed.  O well.
