TWC TV™ App Now Available for iPhone

Minutes after we launched the TWC TV™ for iPad® app last March, people began asking for it on Android and on the iPhone. It’s only natural – the universe of handheld devices is expanding fast, and we’re working hard to keep up. We announced that we had a version of the popular app for Android phones and tablets last month and today – we are thrilled to announce that you can now watch live TV, manage your DVR and change channels on your set-top box on your iPhone.

This feature is available at no additional cost to Time Warner Cable video customers that have a broadband connection.

Features on TWC TV™ include:

  • Interactive program guide (IPG) – up to 7 days of listings. View detailed show descriptions including box art. Option to display “HD only” or “favorites only” by creating a favorite channel list.
  • Search – search for programming by title or episode name and filter results by genre
  • Set-top box tuning – tap on a network logo or “watch on TV” button within the program description to tune compatible set-top boxes directly to the channel
  • DVR management – schedule one-time and series recordings on compatible DVRs directly from the IPG. Tap on the “DVR” button to see a list of all upcoming recordings and make changes or cancel recordings

Customers can download TWC TV™ from the App StoreSM, launch it, log in and scroll through the channel lineup to select preferred programming. Interactive program guide, channel tuning and DVR management features require a set-top box or DVR running the “Navigator” interactive program guide.

You can see a complete channel lineup after the jump.

Please note that while all of these channels are available on the TWC TV™ app, channels are only available if they are also distributed at the local system and subscribed to by a given customer.

  1. @Peggy- If there could be an issue with provisioning if you could please email some account information to twcable.help@twcable.com I would be happy to take a look?

  2. Ok, so I got the app working only to relize even more FAIL! What’s the point of a mobile app if I HAVE TO BE ON MY HOME NETWORK!!! If I’m at home, I’ll watch on my TV. Ugh, does anyone think these things through?

  3. Can you use this while traveling abroad?

  4. No – you have to be at home, on your own wireless gateway/network.

  5. Jim,
    You said someone would call me.
    No one has called.

    Peggy

  6. Peggy- I apologize, have you received a call as of yet?

  7. NOPE!

  8. Is HBO HD on demand not available?

  9. I have this app working for the most part. Live TV works with the exception of the Travel Channel. It is part of my Variety Tier that I subscribe to, but is not available in my channel list for Live TV. I e-mailed TW support and a representative left a message saying that I needed a compatible set top box to get that channel. To be clear, I’m not referring to the Guide part of the app, just being able to see the Travel Channel in the Live TV part of the app. Can you confirm that a compatible STB is required for this? If so, why does every other channel appear to work?

  10. I am unable to watch live TV using this app without switching my internet provider to TWC. Is this correct – that is what I was told by a not very knowledgeable service representative at the 23rd street location? I have heard of “video-only” modems being provided to TWC subscribers who have a different ISP. I have all the other elements (login, standard+ service etc). Please confirm if one is required o switch to TWC internet.

  11. Few days ago, maybe a week, the app stopped showing my scheduled recordings. I have many things scheduled, and my DVRs record everything. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app — no luck. I reset my two DVRs — no luck. Anyone had this problem? Anyone know of a fix?

  12. Emailed several times at TWC for help on this app and still no help. It always stalls or replays a scence a few times. Not continous streaming. Have excellent wifi signal, as several other wireless devices are working at the same time. Tech seems to believe that uninstalling and reinstalling app helps. Duh…tried that several times, along with hard boot, back up to computer, or even installing it straight from computer. Nope. Your app doesn’t work.

  13. To top it off, all the good channels are gone now. No more food network, Disney, USA, etc.

  14. The app has worked flawlessly for me since I downloaded a month ago. Its nice to have a small portable TV (iPhone) to carry with me into other rooms without the hassles of wires. Makes washing dishes go by faster..:-) and its fun to change the channel on the kids when your in another room.
    The question I have, is the cable box required to use the app? Will the app work if I have just basic TWC cable?

  15. App does not even ‘see’ either one of my two hd dvr’s and hence will not allow programming of said dvr(s), nor will it allow to even view guide. And, yes, this is when connected via wifi to the home nework. Utter garbage. How this passed dev is beyond me.

  16. Won’t work on my new iphone4s. I log in and it tells me I must be connected to my home network. I’m connected properly. Please fix it. I love this app when it’s working right

  17. y wont my dvr connect to the app. Streaming live tv works but it will not connect to my dvr. How do i connect it.

  18. I thought this would be really cool but there are only limited channels you can watch live and you must be connected to your wifi at home. This would have been perfect yesterday when I was watching the baseball game on YES and had to leave my house for a few minutes. But YES isn’t a channel you can watch live and you can’t leave your house. So I don’t have much use for this app.

  19. For more than one year we have been able to use the Feee TWC TV on our
    iPad, and then, using the Apple Digital Dongle and an HDMI Cable, send
    that video to a TV in my wife’s craft room.  Now, that is no longer
    working and we get an error message saying “TWC TV does not currently
    support HDMI video out from this device.”. Has TWC blocked the ability
    of the signal to be sent from the iPad to a TV?

  20. From what I’m gathering, I can’t even record a show from work – right. I understand not watching live TV – but through my account name and password, I SHOULD be able to record to my DVR. If this is something I have to be in my network to do, it makes no sense at all. What good is the app. I should be able to send a signal through time warner to record a show….shouldn’t I?

  21. App is not a value add. Ok, so I now have an extra small screen TV for which I can only watch select programming. TWC is to big of a company not to make their app competitive with other tv channel provider? I expect more from TWC.

    To many draw backs stopping this app from being decent. Come on TWC fix this.

    Maybe ya need to look at DISH’s app. Not perfect either but so much closer what customer’s need/want?

  22. U should b able to use it anywhere unless u make twc on-the-go wheru can use any wireless connection because if u look at it u have twc at home y not on the go its not rite that u have to have twc internet wat if u already have a internet service at home that u like. I think yall should make a twc on-the-go for people that travel like soldiers and business people. lets make it happen

  23. My TWC I-phone app is no longer working. I get a request has timed out. I tried calling TWC today and was put on hold for 30 minutes. They had transferred me to their national help desk, where I a was on hold and no one came back.
