Time Warner Cable adds 20 new channels TWCable TV for iPad app

15 years ago

On March 15, 2011, Time Warner Cable introduced a new innovation, the free TWCable TV app. Over 300,000 users have downloaded the app, turning their revolutionary Apple iPads into a TV screen and watching selected live cable TV channels in your home using a Wi-Fi connection with no new wires, no new TVs, and no new set-top boxes.

“We believe we have every right to deliver programming to the iPad app. Unfortunately, some TV networks disagree, and we decided to not carry their channels on the iPad lineup as of March 31. Instead, for the time being, we have decided to focus our iPad efforts on other enlightened programmers who understand the benefit and importance of allowing our subscribers – and their viewers – to watch their programming on any screen in their homes.” – Time Warner Cable

We will continue to fight to ensure that you have access to the content you pay for, no matter which screen in your home you choose to view it on.” – Time Warner Cable
