TWC's iPad app sees high consumer demand

Time Warner Cable's TWCableTV application for the iPad experienced high consumer demand on the first day of release, ranking as the most frequently downloaded free application in the App Store. The application's demand was so strong that it overwhelmed the system, causing an inability for some customers to download it on 15 March. TWC has temporarily reduced the number of channels available via the iPad application to fifteen, which eases the strain on the authentication process. Time Warner said that the full complement of 30 channels will be restored and more channels will be added in future iterations.
