About SquidTV
-
SquidTV is developed by SQUID TELECOM (as per AppBrain listing) for Android devices.

It works as an IPTV / streaming app: you use your internet connection to access TV content.
-
It also has a version for STB (Set-Top Boxes) or smart TVs that run Android or Android TV OS.

On Apple devices, a version called "SquidTV" is listed on the App Store as a TV-IP app for family entertainment.
