- Major TV networks, like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc. all provide single-source apps for their content, which is typically free, but includes commercials.

- Cable and satellite networks, such as Xfinity and DirecTV, have apps specifically for their customers.

- Premium movie channels, like HBO, Showtime, and Starz provide custom apps and special packages that don't require a cable subscription.
