What's a grand Android app for watching live telly on my phone when I'm bouncing around different countries and don't want to miss the football?

Honestly, Sling is a proper useful app for that! You can watch live TV and even record stuff. Absolute godsend when the Wi-Fi's dodgy.

Sling's been an absolute lifesaver for me, especially when I'm trying to catch a match in some far-flung corner of the world. It's brilliant for watching live telly on your phone, and the fact that you can record stuff is just *chef's kiss*. I remember being stuck in a tiny cafe in rural Vietnam with terrible Wi-Fi, and Sling still worked a treat! You can record your favourite shows and watch them later when you have a better connection. It's a proper solution for a nomad like me. Plus, it's sorted my sports fix while I'm away from home. Just make sure you're on Wi-Fi when you can, so you don't eat up all your roaming data, yeah? It's also super inexpensive, which is always a bonus when you're on a budget!
