Cablevision has released a new iPad app named ‘Optimum for iPad’ that will allow customers to enjoy the Cable Television service from their iPad. With around 300 live channels for live streaming and 2,000 video on demand (VOD) titles, with more VOD titles being added as the cable provider encodes them for IP distribution.
Other features and enhancements include searchable guide information, based on genre, cast members, time of day, and favorite channels. Together with the ability to control the DVR side of the service as well. Allowing users to schedule and erase DVR recordings directly from their mobile device.
Cablevision uses its secure and proprietary Advanced Digital Cable television network to deliver cable programming to customers for viewing on the Optimum App for iPad, and content is not delivered over the Internet.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
The ‘Optimum for iPad’ app is designed to provide an enhanced viewing experience for users. The app’s interface is user-friendly, allowing for easy navigation through the extensive list of channels and VOD titles. The searchable guide information is particularly useful for users who want to quickly find specific content. By filtering based on genre, cast members, time of day, and favorite channels, users can easily discover new shows and movies that match their interests.
Moreover, the app’s integration with the DVR service is a significant advantage. Users can manage their DVR recordings directly from their iPad, making it convenient to schedule new recordings or delete old ones without needing to access their television. This feature ensures that users never miss their favorite shows, even when they are on the go.
Future Expansion Plans
Cablevision plans to deploy additional applications that deliver the same experience to other tablets and display devices, functioning as televisions. This expansion will allow more users to benefit from the convenience and flexibility offered by the ‘Optimum for iPad’ app. By extending the service to other devices, Cablevision aims to cater to a broader audience and provide a seamless viewing experience across multiple platforms.
In addition to expanding device compatibility, Cablevision is also working on increasing the number of VOD titles available on the app. As the cable provider continues to encode more content for IP distribution, users can expect a growing library of on-demand movies and TV shows. This ongoing effort to enhance the app’s content offerings demonstrates Cablevision’s commitment to providing a comprehensive and enjoyable viewing experience for its customers.
The ‘Optimum for iPad’ app represents a significant step forward in the evolution of cable television services. By leveraging the capabilities of modern mobile devices, Cablevision is able to offer a more flexible and convenient viewing experience. Whether users are at home or on the go, they can enjoy their favorite shows and movies with ease.
