Now you can watch live TV on your iPad anywhere in your house, if you're a Time Warner Cable TV and Internet subscriber. The cable provider rolled out a new iPad app today called TWCable TV, which lets you stream live channels over wi-fi.
Time Warner Cable, which last year unveiled its first iPad app, has just launched a beta version of the software for computer streaming.
The new app lets cable (and data) subscribers stream live TV to their Mac or Windows PC while in the home.
The app's features include 'Live TV' of a limited number of channels, a seven-day program guide, control of the set-top box (to watch on the TV screen) and the PC (to watch on the computer screen), DVR management, and a search function.
'Ever since launching the TWC TV app for the iPad, we've been expanding the platforms that our customers can use to get value from their video subscription, and this represents the latest star in that particular constellation', Jeff Simmermon, director of digital communication at Time Warner Cable, said in a TWC blog post.
The app is now compatible with the Windows and Mac versions of the following browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0+, Microsoft Firefox 4+, Apple Safari 5+, and Google Chrome. Users will also need to install Microsoft's Silverlight plug-in.

Take your Spectrum TV experience with you! With the Spectrum TV App, you can enjoy up to 250 live TV channels and up to 30,000 On Demand TV shows and movies when you're connected to your Spectrum Internet WiFi network at home. Plus, when you're on the go, enjoy up to 150 live channels and up to 20,000 On Demand titles anywhere you have an internet connection. (See note on availability below.)
TURN ANY ROOM INTO A TV ROOM
Your subscription to Spectrum TV turns your device into another TV screen and lets you watch live TV and On Demand programming anywhere in your home when connected to your Spectrum Internet WiFi network. Watch movies from your bedroom, take cooking shows with you to the kitchen or catch up with the news from your breakfast table.
FIND YOUR FAVORITE PROGRAMS
• Filter live TV by category, sort by channel number, network names or program titles and quickly recall recently watched channels.
• Create a personalized guide by setting favorite channels.
• Search by title, person or sports team anywhere in the app.
CONTROL YOUR TV and DVR
• Depending on your service area and equipment, you can use your phone or tablet to:
• Change TV channels on your Spectrum receiver.
• Record your favorite TV shows and movies.
• Delete and modify DVR recordings individually or by series.
