FilmOn.TV Networks was founded by media entrepreneur Alki David in 2006, and it has previously launched Web-based TV service FilmOn.com which offers subscription packages covering more than 120 TV channels (mostly in English), as well as additional premium services.

The new ‘FilmOn Live TV’ Facebook app lets you watch live TV and invite friends to join in and discuss or comment on programmes in real-time.

If nothing else, FilmOn TV’s Facebook app provides a slightly-more-social alternative to the likes of TVCatchup in the UK.
