Once aired, the full Oscars telecast and pre-show will be available on demand via WATCH ABC for verified viewers for three days, through Wednesday, March 5. WATCH ABC can be accessed from Oscar.com, ABC.com, WATCHABC.com or via the WATCH ABC app, which is free on select Android devices and iOS and can be downloaded at Google Play, the Amazon Appstore, and the App Store.

I don't like having the home button on the left. I am right handed and got used to it on the right. This all won't let me play it the right way so I deleted it. Also because I have great wi fi and netflix and Amazon prime and a great free antenna one tv which gets more than enough channels so I don't pay for cable and they oh do that if you pay a cable tv service.

Live works only if they verify you pay cable. I don't need it since with my wi if I have other great services. I hope apple really does provide special paid packages to get only the channels and programming that we want to watch and reduce the cost.
