Twenty years ago, no one could have imagined that you would be able to walk around with a device small enough to fit in your coat pocket – watching your favorite TV shows at your leisure. I mean, a TV used to be that big box sitting in your living room that doesn’t move. Okay, it still is, but thanks to the good folks at Apple computer, you can transport TV content to a portable gadget and bring it with you – now that’s progress.

When you think about it, the iPhone is the closest we’ve come to having a truly sophisticated communications device that is something straight out of a Star Trek episode. Back in the 1960s, when Star Trek first aired, people could only imagine using some of the cool looking devices that traveled through the galaxy with the Star Trek crew.

Every time you watch TV from the iPhone, you are actually experiencing how it feels to hold and use a futuristic device that allows you to communicate via phone or email with other people, makes it easy for you to listen to your favorite music, lets you play cool games, and makes it easy for you to watch your favorite TV shows and movies on the go.

Wow, we’ve come a long way in forty years.

So, how can you watch TV on the iPhone?

That’s a great question, and you’ll be pleased to know that you can quickly learn how to access your favorite TV shows via a high quality download service. Now, before you go rushing off to research downloading services, you should know that there are only a few trustworthy companies online where you can get good quality content for your iPhone. Of course, you can start with the iTunes site as an obvious choice.

However, there are other good services that don’t charge a fee per download. One of these downloading services has consistently ranked as the best, because they offer fast downloads of TV shows, easy-to-read tutorials for how to use their tools, and good customer service, in case you do have questions.

Please be aware that there are many free download sites that are very dangerous for you to use, because they allow adware and spyware to be downloaded to your iPhone. I suggest you avoid using these types of free services for your own protection.

While you will have to pay an upfront fee to use the higher quality services, they will pay for themselves quickly, because they are safe from spyware and you only have to pay once to access an unlimited amount of TV entertainment.

Just like the people portrayed in Star Trek, you too can have instant access to all kinds of media right at your fingertips. The one thing that you won’t be able to do through your iPhone is to physically transport from one place to another.

But who knows?

Maybe one day you’ll be able to press a button and create a 3D holographic image of your favorite TV show and play one of the characters. Your iPhone could be just the beginning of a whole new way to experience television.
