Great news for you if you're an iPhone and iPad owner, keen to watch TV on the go!
Now Kiwis can watch their favourite TV shows on their terms as TVNZ announces a video on demand app for iPad and iPhone, the first of its kind in New Zealand.
Whether its at the beach, on the bus, or the mall, the app is quick and easy to use and with a few clicks, New Zealanders can watch the hottest new shows of 2013 including Revenge, Shortland Street, Masterchef, Once Upon A Time and many more - whenever and wherever they are.
Tom Cotter, General Manager of Digital Media says TVNZ is committed to ensuring New Zealanders have the choice to access their favourite shows on whichever screen they want, when they want.
