You can now watch live TV streams for free on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

FimOn is a free, high-quality TV streaming service that is broadcasting live streams from 25 popular channels including CNN, Bloomberg, NBC, BBC and ITV. Some channels are available in HD.

The best thing about FilmOn is that it does not need an app, you can watch the live TV streams on your iPhone’s mobile Safari browser.

As one would expect, the TV networks are not happy about this free streaming service and has filed a lawsuit against FilmOn.

But BTIG Research notes that:

FilmOn is backed by billionaire Alki David, who believes he is legally operating within existing US copyright law and plans to spend heavily to win his legal battle with the networks.
