Cox Communications launches Cox TV Connect app for iPad
Cox Communications Las Vegas on Monday announced the launch of its Cox TV Connect iPad application for subscribers of both its TV and Internet packages.
Cox customers can download TV Connect for free from Apple’s App Store, then authenticate their Cox account from the application. Subscribers will then be able to watch more than 30 channels from their iPads.
“The TV Connect application will continue to evolve and expand, adding even more value to our services while adding convenience through convergence,” Steve Schorr, the company’s vice president of public and government affairs, said in a statement.
TV Connect is not Cox’s first foray into mobile applications. Mobile Connect, released earlier this year on the iPad, iPhone and Google Android platforms, allows subscribers to manage telephone services and their digital video recorder recordings.
The apps are part of Cox’s efforts to expand beyond basic cable telecommunication services. The company earlier this year launched a TV Online website for customers to access content.
