TORONTO – Rogers Communications has introduced an app that lets customers stream live TV channels on their iPads, offering the freedom to watch shows from anywhere in the home.
The Rogers Live TV app is available via WiFi to Rogers digital television customers in Ontario who subscribe to Rogers Hi-Speed Internet with a ‘MyRogers’ account. At launch, customers will be able to stream 20 channels through their iPad, with more channels, and a version for Android tablets, coming soon.
"Rogers Live TV app is a key component of our TV Anywhere vision and lets customers experience live TV on their tablets seamlessly and as part of their current entertainment package", said David Purdy, VP video products, in a statement on Thursday. "With the adoption of tablets, the mindset that TV shows are watched only on a television set is fading."
Available for download now on iTunes Canada in beta, the app will officially launch in early 2012.
