Time Warner Cable has updated its iOS app to allow iPhone users to watch live TV through their smartphones.
The new iPhone-compatible app joins the iPad edition which was launched last year and also the Android version (which only offers DVR control rather than live TV streaming).
Now TWC customers who also have a broadband connection can stream live TV from almost 200 channels directly to their iPhone.
Control your TV world
The app also features an Interactive Programme Guide, which allows users to view TV listings up to 7 days in advance and even set them to record on their home DVR.
You can also manage your DVR recordings and use the app as a remote control for your set-top box.
The app comes at no extra cost to TWC customers, but you will need to be on your local Wi-Fi network.
The full list of channels available is available here.

If I had this choice, it wouldn’t be hard to make. I have my choice of streaming to a 10-inch ipad or 4-inch iPhone in my house. Well if I can only do it in my house I think I would much rather watch the 42-inch television. I am not going to sit there and say that TWC isn’t trying to give subscribers options, but keeping streaming locked in the house isn’t much of an option when you have televisions in the house. TWC was however the first of the cable providers to offer a streaming app to their subscribers, so naturally the other providers followed them in suit. Working at DISH I watched as all these providers including Directv launched these so called great options for their customers, and I am sure there might be a niche use for the app somewhere. Personally, I will stick with being able to stream my TV everywhere with my sling adapter. Not just some of my subscription channels, but all of my live channels and recorded shows available to me no matter where I am is the way it should be.
