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.

Having an ICS device would be a huge problem with me if I did in fact still subscribe with TWC. The type of device I have is a bit older and doesn’t have an update scheduled for ICS ever, so waiting around for this app to release wouldn’t be very beneficial to me. Thankfully, I decided to switch to DISH from TWC a few years ago to enjoy the DISH Remote Access app. With that app and my Sling Adapter, I’m able to bring and watch all of my subscribed programming, live or recorded, on my device anywhere I am in the world on 3G/4G or Wi-Fi. I am sent away on business a lot working with DISH, so it’s definitely become quite the time killer and my favorite entertainment app around.
