Big cable TV and broadband operator Cablevision Systems just announced the launch of a new app for the iPhone and iPod touch, making it the first major TV operator to deliver full cable television
service to those hand-held devices "in the home." The new app is an extension of one it launched in April enabling its cable TV subscribers to access service through iPads.
"For the first
time, customers can use the app on all three devices as a virtual remote control for conventional TVs in the home, maximizing its value as a discovery and navigation tool," the company said in a
statement.
