Cabler Cox Communications joined in on the live TV streaming to iPad craze by releasing its own Cox TV Connect app late last year, and recently updated it to version 1.1.0. With the upgrade comes the new look shown above, so while it originally featured a more... unique look for TV listings (as seen after the break) this version has programming sorted in the traditional grid-style guide shown above. Also mentioned is the ability for users to view and sort TV listings for all channels, although they'll still need the separate Cox Mobile Connect apps for things like DVR scheduling. Grab the new version at the iTunes link below, assuming you get your TV and internet service at the right place.

Well I can see why Cox would need a new user interface on their iPad app, those 35 channels must have hard to find on the old one. I mean you are in your house though, so you could look at the guide on your television and see what is on or coming on. That is the big problem that I have with the iPad apps cable providers has released. Every one of them limits streaming on your mobile device to your house. I have always thought of streaming as a mobile solution to maximizing the money I spend on television monthly. That is why I went with the Sling Adapter from Dish, along with the Remote Access app, I have access to all of my live channels and stored programming on my mobile device no matter where I am. This has always come in handy because I work the late shift at Dish and take the bus home, my 45-minute wait for the bus doesn’t seem that long when I van watch my favorite shows that I recorded, or any of live program I want.
