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.
