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.

Time Warner has done it, they have given a small percentage of their Android users access to stream live channels within the walls of their own house and no where else. I guess they are just supposed to ignore the televisions that already occupy the house, even though that could get awkward. I have to give them props though; they are at least trying to cut down on the use fossil fuels by only using electricity to charge the phone instead of run the television. I have been surrounded by streaming for a few years working at DISH, it intrigued me so much that I bought a sling adapter when it was released so I could enjoy streaming all of my live channels and recorded shows to my older Android no matter where I am. I also found out after I upgraded to my Hopper DVR that I can also access the Primetime Anytime feature that records all the primetime shows from the big four networks, and I have access to it for 8 days after airing.
