I got some news yesterday from my “best friends at Rogers” about watching TV on something other than your TV:
We’ve had some great TV viewing news launch this morning that I thought you and your readers would be interested in knowing about.
Rogers has launched the Rogers Live TV app, currently in beta, that lets you stream live TV on your iPad. The first in Canada, this app will let you stream 20 channels through your iPad. We anticipate a full launch of the app in early 2012. Also, an Android tablet version will be available soon.
The full details are on Redboard as usual, but I’ll hit the highlights. To make this work you have to:
- Live in Ontario.
- Subscribe to Rogers Digital TV and Rogers High Speed Internet.
- Have one of the following cable boxes: 8642, 8300HD, 4250, or 4642
- Have a MyRogers Account.
- Download the app to your iPad.
- Watch TV via WiFi
I for one don’t have an iPad and if I did I don’t have Rogers High Speed Internet, so I couldn’t take advantage of this. But if I did, I’m not sure that I would. A lot of the things I watch are streamed via the Web so my TV watching has dropped to such a degree that I’m having second thoughts about even having cable at all. But that’s just me. I’m sure others out there will jump on this.
What are your thoughts? Comments below please.
