FLO-TV to iPhone and Android

FLO-TV is not on-demand, it's time-shifted! BIG difference.

Due to the contractual nature between the networks, they do NOT want Prime time shows streaming to the device when aired, generally only Nick/AdultSwim(only at night, it's dead in the day)/MTV and ESPN are currently allowing SOME live.

HULU is working a deal with Android and Verizon now using HTML5 (already working for YouTube on Android using the native browser - no flash needed), so just hold off.

Recall that FLO-TV natively is first streamed over 700MHz to the Verizon Network, soon out for iPhone and on a proprietary device and on another proprietary device separately for FLO-TV only, on 700MHz (Now you know why Google was interested in buying that range taken away from analog TV for the Digital swing-over)
