How to watch live tv on a iPhone

I use Orb all the time to stream content from Windows Media Center to my various devices, the combination of Orb and Webguide means I have access to all my content and guide data anywhere on the web. Last week Orb launched a native iPhone client so you can watch live and recorded TV on an iPhone or iPod touch, so no need to buy your shows from iTunes :)

Orb have put together a video showing how to get it working on a jailbroke iPhone

doesn't work for me.  the video streams but the audio is just rapic clicking - like static.  i tried changing codecs and it didnt help.  i contacted orb support and they didnt seem to have any good answers.  i posted on howardforums and they also didnt seem to have any real answers.  so until i can get that worked out it is useless for me.  if it actually worked though it woudl be a great app!

Orb is pretty cool. I've been using it with my Archos 605 wifi and it works well both UPNP or over the web.

The one thing that is a bit of a drag is if you have it on your media center machine and the media center starts to record a scheduled program then Orb is interrupted. Unless there is a work around for this that I am unaware of.

Even Orb is free of charge, we need not spend any money on that or buy from itunes.
