Watch cable TV on your iPad

[audio:ycm-ipadtv.mp3]

Finally, watch live cable TV, right on your iPad! Just go to iTunes and search for “TWcable” and you’ll up and running in no time. Use your Oceanic Cable and Road Runner with wifi in the house. Your Ipad can watch live TV, search through the program guide, program the DVR and even change the channels. Go to iTunes and search for TWcable.

I’ve gotten some questions from friends on some details so here’s how to get installed.

Requirements: you need to be an  Oceanic Time Warner customer with both a cable and RoadRunner subscription.  You also need wifi running in the house.

1. Go to myservices.timewarnercable.com and set yourself up with an account.  Of course this is for Oceanic Time Warner customers only.

2. Go to the Appstore and search for Twcable or just click on this TWcable App Store link to go direct.

3. Install the app in your iPad and enjoy!

 

Special thanks to Ed Sugimoto of Oceanic who wrote up additional information on his experience on the DVR functions.

Uploading photos to Facebook will show them to whole world unless you say otherwise. Click on the settings next to the post button and decide which groups of friends should see your pictures (or maybe who shouldn’t see them as well) .

The next time you’re sending attachments in gmail, save time by selecting multiple documents from your computer folders and then drag and drop them on the gmail subject line. Google then uploads the documents automatically.

Got Sprint Smartphone? Big Brother might be watching.

This does not make me feel good about using Sprint. I was one of the first EVO 4G customers and 1.5 years later, though my phone is nearly obsolete, it’s still a workhorse and I really love the 4G coverage in Honolulu.

However, to think that Sprint might be logging nearly everything I do on my phone does not leave me with a very “warm and fuzzy” feeling inside. Will be interesting to see how this story develops. Could a class-action lawsuit come of this?
