Just installed the app and wow, it is fantastic. It has all my favorite channels - SyFy, NatGeo, Discovery, TLC, History and CNN. Now I can watch what I want why wife watches what she wants on the TV. Thank you TWC.
Got a tip for us?

love, love, love this app!
Already used it in my office this morning to stream CNN to watch the Japan crisis. This is going to be perfect for rooms with no cable hookups.

This is so true... Both of those techs would probably be just as shocked if you showed them your multi-button mouse, plugged into your mac. Ignorance about macs in general is rampant in the tech world. Less so than it used to be, but it's still a huge issue.
Oh yah, and, if you can stream this to your iPad, then all you'd have to do is use mirrored HDMI output and you should be able to put it up on any monitor...

Whoa, no way?? An expensive device does more than a software service offered for FREE?! You know what though, for us, this is way better than Slingbox. We have 1 cable tv box in the house. Now we suddenly have a second tv for no additional cost.
Looks like you responded to somebody who does not understand men's bathroom culture.
Why sit around idly when one can read, play chess or watch something now?
While not recommended by doctors, it's very relaxing to get away from it all AND since the family knows what you are supposedly doing. They won't bother you.
Just make sure you have two bathrooms, so you don't get chased or hurried
I understand why they are making it for people who have the cable service.. but seriously? I would love to have live tv on my iPad.. but we have satellite at my house. So this does no good for me =/
With Slingbox you can watch that anywhere i.e office, park, airport and not just confined to our house, that is the only advantage to Slingbox.
This app has so much potential and I hope TWC doesn't stop. What about live sports like ESPN3? Watching recorded shows from my DVR? I have the signature home package (Love it) from TWC, so i already have whole-house-dvr I wanted this app to work along side that package. Plus I do want to control my dvr from my ipad, TWc's website is garbage and the load time is to long to utilize that service.
Good app so far, fun to watch TV from my iPad, but please don't stop enhancing something that could be great.
Oh yeah by the way TWC, this is the first time you have a leg up on a competitor so don't blow it.
I know - the app is relatively basic at the moment, but I was floored that Time Warner, who has been relatively non-innovative in the TV sector, launched this at all.
Of course it needs a pause button, a channel guide, and eventually the ability to control other cable boxes in the home. I suppose asking for AppleTV output would be asking too much.
How many channels are you getting? I installed the app with no problems, however, I'm only seeing about 5 channels. No CNN.
Edit: Never mind, I rebooted my iPad and everything seems to be working fine.
Is there any way of using MyWi on an iPhon and setting it up to fool the application that you are on your home network?

Can you watch two different channels with slingbox and your TV? Didn't think so.
Man I hope Bright House Networks has something like this! I wish apple TV could stream things back to iPads iPhones and ipod touches, I would make apple tv the greatest compliment to a HDTV ever!
Glad Top Gear is also getting some page time on this one, greatest TV show ever!

Just tried this morning.
Works perfectly.
Good job TWC.
Now if they could figure out a way to get the same service away from home maybe over wifi that would be fantastic!

I understand the limits likely placed by the content creators of controlling where the content is viewed, but if I had TW I would want to watch TV outside my home on my mobile device. If I'm in the house, I'll watch it on my TV set more often than not.

Why doesn't this app work with a new iPod touch? What is the difference or is it TW's decision?

Sounds great! All I'm getting on the channel guide is Hallmark HD. The video looks fantastic, just wish I could access more channels. Called TWC, escalated to tier 3, awaiting a call back since the rep was not able to resolve the issue.
Doesn't work with ios 4.3
After logging in it says it only provides content to Time Warner Video Subscribers. I spend almost $150 a month with TW between Cable and Internet.
Figuring this was a bug, I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to explain this problem with TW tech support.
Was just informed by tech support this only works on ios 4.2.1 not 4.3.
oh well.
