Today Time Warner released an iPad App that allows customers to watch certain cable TV channels at no extra charge if they are customers for both Cable TV and Internet access. Since I meet those requirements I grabbed this free app as soon as I heard about it. Once I provided my user name and password for their online billing system I was surprised and very pleased to see that it just works immediately.
Many of the channels I prefer to watch are included, among these the Comedy Channel, CNN and MSNBC. Local channels are not offered at this time, but I can watch those using EyeTV via an IP tuner and my Mac Pro anyway.
It seems to me that my DirecTV account is in jeopardy of being cancelled now that Time Warner has this very welcome new FREE feature for their customers.
I’m giving the Time Warner Cable TV iPad App a very enthusiastic five star rating!

I love all of these mobile apps being released from paid TV providers, and couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. I don’t see much value in this particular app because you can’t stream live TV outside of your home. I am a DISH Network subscriber/employee, and I have been using their Remote Access app to stream DVR recordings and live TV remotely to my Android.

This is great for anyone who spends a lot of time at the computer or if you want to take your mac to a room that doesn’t have a tv in.
I have no cable in my bedroom, so this is ideal.
