I've got a bone to pick with CBS! They seem to be the only network that does not allow watching their TV shows after they air on a mobile device. (Fox too)I was very pleased that ABC and NBC had apps for iPads to view shows I missed. I haven't seen NBC's lately, but I did see Castle on the ABC app a few weeks ago and I noticed they are now timed to only be available for a fix time before being removed. When I found the CBS app and that CBS finally made an app for the iPad last week, I was so disappointed that its only showing clips and not whole episodes. I could be wrong, but I wanted to catch an episode of Big Bang Theory I missed but it wasn't there, just clips from the episode. They may have whole episodes for other shows, but I didn't check because I was so disappointed. Perhaps its a different story for Android devices, maybe they get more content. But I doubt it.And on the heels of this news, it looks like ABC will be the first network to start streaming TV shows live as they air at the same time to iPads with a new app. I read that its only avaiable in New York and Philadelphia this week. That's a cool new development and nice to see ABC staying ahead a little with embracing the whole Internet TV future.
