Congratulations
Bright House Networks customers, your off-brand Time Warner Cable experience now includes live TV streaming on your iPad. The Bright House TV tablet app has hit iTunes and is, unsurprisingly, a direct clone of the
TWCable TV app, although it's not the latest version as it doesn't have
parental controls yet. Otherwise it's basically the same experience, complete with the restriction to using it at home on your own WiFi network and its initial
unfriendliness towards jailbroken iPads. there's no word on which channels are available, but we wouldn't be surprised if they also mirror the Time Warner list. If you're jailbroken, check the
MacRumors link below for a workaround, otherwise you can just head to iTunes and download the app directly.
[Thanks, EvilSpock]

I love these iPad apps that the Pay TV industry came out with for the last year, they all showed that they were willing to take streaming and leave it in your house and no where else. Bright House even got a hand me down app from Time Warner, like big brother handing down his slightly used pants to his younger brother. The part I don’t understand is why would you want to stream to a 10-inch screen on your mobile device in your house only when you have televisions in your house specifically designed to watch television on? Working at DISH I tend to pay close attention to the entire industry because its good to know where everybody stands with their technology, and its good to know none of them can compete with true streaming. I use my Sling Adapter hooked up to my DISH receiver that makes my mobile device into a complete television, and DVR no matter where I am, not just live channels in my house, giving me a true TV everywhere experience.
