Are you a fan of The History Channel, Lifetime, or A&E? If so, you'll want to boogie on over to the iPad App Store and collect three new apps released by the network as you will now be able to watch full episodes for free. There is an app for A&E shows, History shows, and Lifetime shows and movies.

Users can check out all the episodes of the current season for a collection of shows, and the occasional episode from previous seasons. If you are a Comcast Xfinity subscriber, you'll be able to check out all the episodes from previous seasons, not just the ones available for free to everyone.

If you're an iPhone or iPod Touch user, don't fear just yet. A&E is planning on dishing up similar apps in January, and for Android sometime during Q1 of 2013.
