Quick update on
DirecTV app: With the latest upgrade, you can actually watch live TV on your iPad, as long as you are on your WiFi network. Now all channels, but around 30 different channels.
DirecTV app is a free app. Caveat: you need to be a DirecTV customer to use this app.
TuneIN Radio... This is an app that will allow you to listen to radio stations all over the world. I have SiriusXM in my car, but will not renew. I use this app on my phone, plugged into the car stereo system to listen to music, comedy, news, etc. from whatever worldwide location I like...hundreds and hundreds of radio sources. You can try out the service [free] on your computer at
