To be fair, when we heard that Time Warner Cable's
TWC TV app for Android tablets might add live TV streaming by the end of March it was described as a "very loose" projection, so it's not much of a surprise we're still waiting for it now, in April. It is still coming however, and a new post is up on the blog teasing the above image of the app in action and promising to make the feature available in the next few weeks, certainly by Memorial day. we should also note,
it's for Ice Cream Sandwich loaded tablets only -- they have the required "security and stability" (read: DRM) necessary. Also noted is that developing a
live video streaming app for iOS was easier simply because of the limited number of manufacturer, OS and hardware combinations, which mirrors
what we heard previously from Netflix. Still, it's on the way, so if you're looking to use your slate as an extra TV screen in the home, you should look next to your manufacturer to make sure it's been updated with ICS.
Time Warner Cable app for Android tablets with live streaming is (still) right around the corner originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 05 Apr 2012 18:39:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Time Warner just keeps dragging the Android users along, first it was March now it could be the end of May before they release an update to the app. At least they are keeping them well informed that nothing is happening. This has been the way most of the industry has looked at Android devices for the last year, almost none of them making a live streaming app for it. This is one of the things I like about my DISH Remote Access app. I can manage my DVR, add and remove timers as well as delete old recordings. I can also stream all my recorded shows and my live channels to my Android using my sling adapter. This comes in handy since I work the night shift at DISH because I can stay caught up on all my shows while I wait for my bus.
