Android app for catch up tv

I have just been given a Nook HD 7. I have installed the BBC iplayer app which works very well, but would like to watch other channels on catch up such as ITV, Four, Nick etc. I would rather download one app rather than several if that is possible. Any suggestions? Sky Go apparently will not work, which is a shame.

    Theres TV catchup, might be a few others but have either not come across them or not downloaded them yet. Im not sure but I think Sky Go will only work if you have a sky subscription.

    I think TV Catchup is somewhat of a misnomer ... it actually shows live TV not recorded TV. :)

    Yes, I do have Sky, but when I went to the Sky Go app, it said it wouldn't work on my tablet.

    Most of the apps I have looked at are very ambiguous as to whether they do catch up or only live, so I was hoping that someone who had tried/was using a catch up app would be able to recommend one. I am happy to pay for an app if it does what I want.

    there is an app called XBMC, it is a media player, however you get various plugins for this player. Configuration of some of the plugins can be found on youtube

    I know there was a version about a year ago for the samsung N7000 phone that worked very well
