Time Warner Cable users who prefer Android to iOS can finally enjoy live TV streaming on their Ice Cream Sandwich-enabled tablets and phones. As we learned when it debuted, DRM requirements are making live TV streaming an Android 4.0-only (devices that have been rooted however, are not invited) affair, but at least it's here. Subscribers can snag TWC TV 2.0 from Google Play at the link below, although they are encouraged to try uninstalling if they experience any glitches after upgrading. There's a blog post linked below with more details, but we're pretty sure a TV screen you can take to the can with you explains itself.

Live streaming is a great option for subscribers, unless it is only allowed in the house like Time Warner’s app. It might be a good thing that this app will only be allowed to those few percent of Android phones that have the Ice Cream Sandwich software installed. I just don’t see why a person would watch television on their phone when they have televisions in their house that they can watch from. At Least with my sling adapter I can stream live channels and recorded shows to my Android, that isn’t brand new with no problems, and I don’t have to stay in the house. It comes in really handy when I waiting for the train after my shift at DISH, I can watch my favorite shows when I want to.
