NEW YORK: Time Warner Cable Inc in the United States is launching an iPadapplication that plays live TV. The app will be free to download in a few hours, but will only work for people who subscribe to both video and Internet service from the cable TV company.
And even then, it only works in the home, when the iPad is connected to the company's cable modem via a WiFi router.
Rob Marcus, the company's chief operating officer and president, said the app will play 30 basic cable channels in high definition to start with, but that number should expand soon.
