After expanding its live TV streaming from iPads to
iPhones, Time Warner Cable is going in the other direction and offering the service on PCs. The PC version of TWC TV launched today in beta -- still no word on streaming to
Android devices or
HDTVs yet -- but the
Silverlight player will work on Windows and OS X, in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome. According to the official blog it has more than just streaming, with remote control over compatible set-top boxes and DVR scheduling also included. Of course, the same restrictions still apply here as they have on tablets and phones, with playback only while connected to your home network. If you're a Time Warner customer, hit the link below to sign in and try it out, or hit the blog for more details on what works where.

Many Time Warner customers are happy about being able to stream live TV to their computers but I’m not so sure it’s that great. I guess it is expected that I’m not that impressed since I’ve been able to do this since last year. I use DISH Online on my laptop to stream live TV, my recorded shows and even some on demand movies from time to time. What’s great about it is that with DISH’s TV Everywhere technology, I can stream anywhere I can get a wifi connection such as when I am on lunch at DISH where I work or in the library waiting for class to start. I know I was excited when DISH Online was released, and I know Time Warner customers are excited for this. However when you compare it to DISH Online, you see their service is so limited.
