The brand new Cablevision iPad app is out, taking up broadcasters ( Fox, Discovery, Viacom ) attacking Time Warner’s live TV streaming TWCable TV app by offering subscribers the identical channels as their iO TV package and video on demand. The Optimum for iPad app also includes the facility to establish DVR recordings, delete recorded shows and read TV listings, even though it doesn’t act as an instantaneous remote for the cable box. The last time Fox and Cablevision squared off subscribers couldn’t watch their shows on Hulu or two games of the World Series which, together with a protracted battle over network DVRs , suggests the cable company is ready to dig its heels in deep in this issue. Multichannel News points out subscribers need at the least one cable box and internet service from Cablevision to utilize the brand new app and the TOS states it could only be used in the customer’s residence. Subscribers suitably equipped can grab the app on the iTunes link below, or simply investigate cross-check screens within the gallery.
