Time Warner Cable who serves Millions of customers in 28 different states, announced their new iPhone app which allows customers to watch live TV and even manage, control, and program their DVR.
The app also allows the ability to search the TV guide and search for shows. A while back, the company released an iPad app which offered much of the same functionality. An Android app was released about a month ago.
This new app for iPhone users is more of a universal app and will work on the smartphone (3G and up), the iPad, and users with an iPod Touch (3G and up). Customers shouldn’t get too excited however. In order to watch live TV through the app, you have to be connected through your home wifi network so no live TV say during your break at work.
Time Warner Cable has a list of the various features :
- Interactive program guide (IPG) – up to 7 days of listings. View detailed show descriptions including box art. Option to display “HD only” or “favorites only” by creating a favorite channel list.
- Search – search for programming by title or episode name and filter results by genre
- Set-top box tuning – tap on a network logo or “watch on TV” button within the program description to tune compatible set-top boxes directly to the channel
- DVR management – schedule one-time and series recordings on compatible DVRs directly from the IPG. Tap on the “DVR” button to see a list of all upcoming recordings and make changes or cancel recordings
