TVU Networks has exceeded the milestone of one million downloads for TVUPlayer on the iPhone and the iPod touch. The PC-based TVUPlayer has been downloaded by over 50 million viewers in 220 countries to date. Now, the same great channels that viewers watch with TVUPlayer on the PC and Mac, are available on the iPhone over WiFi connections. TVU's 400 live television channels from around the world, including top tier channels such as Deutsche Welle and Telemundo, international sports such as cricket, and alternative niche programming are now live on the iPhone.

The one million downloads include TVULite, which has been available on the iPhone since February as a free application, and TVUPlayer, a paid app available for US$4.99 as a one-time download fee. Upon its release in August 2009, TVUPlayer for the iPhone immediately took place amongst the top 100 iPhone Entertainment applications in the iTunes store, and holds a 31st ranking today.

TVULite and TVUPlayer for iPhone feature many of the features available on the original TVUPlayer for PC and Mac, such as selecting from Channel Lists and Channel Categories, adding to Favorites and conducting a channel Search. TVU has added iPhone-specific features as well, enabling viewing in Portrait mode, which gives the user information on the channel name and number, channel description, channel quality indicator, and volume control, or watching in Landscape mode, which allows for full screen viewing.

Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks states, "To be ranked 31st in the top iPhone Entertainment apps - considering there are 93,000 apps available from 125,000 registered developers being sold in the iTunes App Store today - demonstrates the tremendous value users see in TVU. Our cross-platform live TV service gives viewers instant access to vast amounts of live TV from around the world anytime, anywhere."
