Time Warner Cable launches app for Apple iPad

Time Warner Cable has launched the TWCable TV application for the Apple iPad, allowing video customers to stream live linear television to the device at no additional charge. This free feature gives standard (Expanded Basic) and higher video customers with Roadrunner or Earthlink Cable Internet service the ability to watch many national channels to which they already subscribe, in HD on their iPads anywhere within their own home. Customers can navigate on their iPads with the aid of a mini- guide within their wireless home network. Additional services, including remote control functionality, video on demand viewing capacity and the ability to programme their DVR will be added on a continuing basis. To use this feature, customers can download the application from the iTunes App Store, launch it, log in and scroll through the channel lineup to select preferred programming.
