As the size of smartphone screens has increased, these devices have become interesting options for consuming multimedia content, either to watch our favorite series or movies through different streaming video services or to watch TV comfortably wherever we areAlthough this requires a generous data connection if we do not have a Wi-Fi connection at hand.
One of the most comfortable solutions to watch TV on your mobile can be found on Photocall TV, a website that allows us access all free-to-air television channels both in Spain and around the world. If you still did not know about this platform and you are still using the long-suffering IPTV lists, then we will show you everything you need to know about Photocall TV.
What is Photocall TV
Photocall TV is a website that allows us to watch free-to-air television in most countries in both Europe and the American continent. This website is, we could say, a compilation of links to web pages of the different television channels, so it is completely legal.
Obviously, nobody does anything for the love of art and Photocall TV is no exception. When visiting this web page, the number of ads and tabs that open automatically if you do not have an ad blocker can lead to being obscene, but with a little patience, we can see any channel that is broadcast without problems.
How Photocall TV works
The operation of Photocall TV is very simple, each channel has an embedded link to the web page where the content is being broadcast through its respective web page. According to the broadcast qualityThis is the same one that we can find on the website of each channel, which in most cases is in HD.
Television channels have been allowing their broadcast to be accessed through the internet for a few years. However, on many occasions we encountered a limitation, since when movies or series were broadcast, these they did not have the rights to broadcast on the internet, so instead, when accessing live content, programs from the network were shown.
Fortunately, it seems that they have fixed this problem and today, we can access all the programming broadcast by live channels, at least in Spain, without any limitation, so we can finish watching a movie or series on our mobile while we are in bed about to go to sleep, if we go to the bathroom for a moment ...
What channels can I watch on Photocall TV
Photocall TV puts at our disposal the channels of most countries that broadcast free-to-air These include, in addition to the Spanish, channels from Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Panama, Ecuador, Honduras, Paraguay ... as well as channels from the United States and most European countries.
According to this platform, we have access to more than 250 national and regional channels, 390 international channels, 230 radio channels and it also offers us access to a complete television guide.
The channels available through Photocall TV are the same that we can watch in our home through a television connected to an antenna. That is, it does not offer us access to cable channels such as Fox, 13th Street, Sci-Fy. TNT, AXN ...
If you want to access these private channels that are only found if you pay a subscriptionIt is through IPTV lists, lists that in recent times have become the main objective of many media, so that today, it is very difficult to find lists of this type that work and last.
Some channels do not allow you to play the content if it detects that your IP is not from the country, so the only solution is to use a VPN to skip this simple restriction, so if you live outside your country of origin and want to be informed of what is happening in your homeland, you will not have any problem with Photocall TV and a VPN.
How to watch TV with Photocall TV
Photocall TV is not available in application format, so we can only access the content that it offers us through its website. Default, shows us an interface with a black background, background that we can change to white by clicking on the logo of this platform located in the upper right corner.
At the top, the national channels (in the case of Spain) followed by the channel list relations, Others, Radio, Guide with programming of the channels, the section Info with shortcuts to extensions and applications to send the content of an Android smartphone to the television and VPN, from where we can contract VPN services.
It also offers us a search box where we can enter the name of the channel that we want to see, an ideal function so as not to have to go looking for the logo that represents the channel that we want to visualize.
Alternatives to Photocall TV
The best, legal and completely free alternative to Photocall TV is found on the websites and applications of television channels. In Spain, you can watch the live broadcast of all channels without any problems through its website or by making use of the mobile applications that are available in the respective application stores.
Through the website of each channel
The fastest way to watch a channel's live broadcastIf you don't want to use applications, it is by using Google and writing «see channelname live". The first result that is always displayed is the link to the website of the TV channel.
If it is a public station, as is the case with RTVE, no advertisement will be shown before starting playback. However, if it is a private chain (Mediaset or Atresmedia), you will have to wait for a few ads to show, ads that, by the way, we can not jump and sometimes it seems that they are looping.
With the corresponding applications
In Spain, the three major television groups (RTVE, Mediaset and AtresMedia) make available to users, applications for mobile devices and tablets, applications that allow us to access content that is broadcast live, but in addition, they also offer us access to content in series format, which has been previously broadcast.
In the case of the Mediaset and Atresmedia application, it is necessary use a Facebook, Twitter, Google or Apple account In order to use the service, a limitation that we will find in the A la carte application of RTVE Play (previously RTVE a la carte).
These applications are also available on smart TVs, which allows us to enjoy our favorite series regardless of when they are broadcast. In addition, they are compatible with AirPlay, so everything is comfort and advantages.
With the application RTVE Play we can access the content of the channels:
- First
- First
- Teledeporte
- playz
- 24 hour channel

Through Mediaset, We can see:

IPTV lists
Another possibility to access the live broadcast of TV channels is through IPTV lists. The problem that we find with these lists is that they generally include access to paid channels, so quickly they stop working and we can't consider it a real option.
An IPTV list that offers us access toRctically the same content that we have at our disposal through Photocall TV is the one that offers us DTT Channels. If you choose this option, the best application to access this type of content, both from a computer and a mobile device is VLC.
VLC is a video and audio player compatible with all codecs available and for having. But also, in its version for computers, it also allows us to access these types of lists.
If you want to access these types of lists from your iPhone or iPad, one of the best applications available is IPTV List Player, an application that does not contain any type of ads and that if we like it, it gives us the opportunity to collaborate with the development by giving it our own for 1,09 euros.
Playback starts but cuts out
It works perfectly for me on all channels.
Does it happen to you in all the channels or in some in particular?
