Time Warner Cable's TV app comes to Xbox One

4.7

Good news: the TWC TV app is available for the cable company's customers (at least until/unless Comcast swallows it up) to watch TV on their Xbox One. Bad news: For now at least, it's limited to video on-demand only and not live TV -- weird, since it's there for the Xbox 360 version -- so it's not quite ready for you to ditch the cable box entirely. There is of course, always the option of using the HDMI passthrough, but it'd be nice to see full features, and according to Multichannel News Time Warner Cable is working on that. It does support stuff like Kinect voice controls and Snap multitasking, and promises both free and paid options among its content, so if you have the cable company's service plus one of Microsoft's current gen consoles

There probably is not live TV because Comcast IS going through a deal with Time Warner to buy them out lol

TH9 "Apps" on consoles are pointless no matter what. I mean, if you'd consider Netflix an "app" but that's the only one of real use. Everything else is irrelevant. For example, who uses Facebook on an Xbox? I know they had that on the 360 anyway...

It's something to fill the voided space, they're running out of ideas to become the best.

I run my cable box through my Xbox but, I rarely even watch it, the app looks a little dumb if you ask me.
