It is said that Movie and TV fans will no longer have to rely on their PC's or mobile devices to catch up with their favorite shows and cable TV programs. The viewers will now have the ability to directly stream their favorite programs and even movies on their BIG TV screen at home. You can now watch TV series and movies via cloud with the use of this. This is the company's answer to the long time need to catch up with the shows you missed and even pause, play and rewind them with the use of Sky On Demand via iWantTV. Sky On-Demand is made possible by the impressive and rapidly growing video-on-demand library of iWant TV and allows us to watch both local and foreign cable TV shows using their TV at home.
