TW Cable Fails With iPad App To Watch Live TV →
Only works for people who subscribe to both video and Internet service… and only if you have an iPad… and if you’re at home and connected to the company’s cable modem via a Wi-Fi router… You know what, TREAT THIS BASICALLY LIKE A REALLY SMALL TV. Way to take everything cool about watching live streaming media on a mobile device and kill it. FAIL!

You can even use query parameters like: @name Pioneer One @content avi
