Cox flareWatch beta brings IPTV with 60 HD channels, cloud DVR for $35 monthly
While everyone tries to figure out what the future of TV looks like,
Variety reports Cox Cable has crossed over to offering internet TV
service to customers in Orange County. flareWatch beta testers can buy a
Fanhattan Fan TV
set-top box for $99 (up to three per household) and sign up for a TV package
that features 90 live TV channels (60 in HD) and includes the usual favorites
like ESPN / ESPN2, AMC, CNN, Nickelodeon and TNT, with video on-demand coming
soon. DVR recordings take place in the cloud, with 30 hours of storage available
for each subscriber.
There is one notable limitation however, as with cable
company provided TiVo DVRs, streaming services like Hulu and Netflix are not
available. Cox already offers cloud-based storage under the MyFlare brand name,
and Variety also mentions the company plans to expand it with music and
game services. Other providers have hinted at offering IPTV options and Comcast
launched an IPTV
test at MIT, but this is the first one publicly available from a major
company. If you live in the area, demonstrations are available at several
locations, check out the site at the link below and a preview video after the
break.
