How do I watch TV live on my IPAD 1. Is it also possible to watch US shows live in Canada. I tried the ABC site and it gave me:
You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories. Thanks for any info.

Rogers has a live app for iPad called Rogers Live TV (http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/rogers-live-tv/id482996471?mt=8), you must have a Rogers user account.]

You could look in to Unblock Us (http://unblock-us.com/), a service that makes servers think you are in the US for the purpose of US television viewing, etc...

FWIW, I've been watching the olympics live on my iPad 2 (using the CTV olympics app).

Global TV also has an app to access a great many of their shows.

Why does it need to be live? There are many apps for good on demand shows.

Live is good for sports though and though this tends to require payment, it is very much available.

The reviews for the Rogers and the CTV apps say they both crash. Yay or nay?

Rogers, Global, CBC, CTV, TSN and Bell all have apps. The live material available varies.
CTV also has the Olympic app which is supremely frustrating. The non-live content cannot be fast forwarded through or rewound. The only option is to start it from the beginning. And they are not chunking it well - 2 and 3 hour segments, preceded by 10s of minutes of useless footage. Last night - a static shot of gymnastic high bar for minutes on end while an unintelligible stadium announcer says things and the crowd cheers things happening off screen. The US networks block the content to Canada, as does the BBC.

You can now watch live sport on your iPhone, iPad or Android device including Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Snooker, Darts, Cricket and Squash.

is this free or do you have to pay?

That is a spammer link to a pay service for Live TV.

I got some nice apps to watch TV&videos on the iPad from a list of "Top 10 Best Video/TV Apps for iPad" in ifunia blog, the most I used are Crackle and IMDb App, let me watch TV shows and Movies free, though sometimes with ads.
