Asking for travelling purpose only. I like What HBO, SKY and some spanish channels have done to cater their viewers. Why don't all of them make streaming easy. Just make an app so that we can watch channels online.

PS: Traveling and streaming are legit partners.
 
Who are you asking? The best people to ask are the TV channels as they will know why they haven't bothered to release an app.
 
I can't think of any UK channels that don't have an app.
BBC iPlayer, All4, My5, Sky Go etc, think Virgin TV also have an app but it's name escapes me.
 
At a guess 'Rights Management' is the biggest barrier to 'global' access.

Assuming you have these services 'at home' have you considered 'place shifting' using Slingbox or similar - Slingbox.com
