IMPORTANT NOTE: Use of the Cordless Cable App requires an existing account with a Cable, Telco, Video, or Hospitality Service Provider in your area, which already offers Cordless Cable. Whether you are leaning back watching your Big Screen TV or bent over watching TV on your phone, experience TV without sacrifice. Cordless Cable is a fully functioning Cable Box (and more) in an App, for use with your local available Cable and/or Video Service Company in your area. With a reinvented way of checking what's on TV, a zippy channel browser, and the ability to change channels directly with your remote using the Up/Down buttons, this App has it all. From stunning video, to our unique GoBack experience letting you watch programs 6 or more hours in the past (when supported), to full DVR and VOD functionality (when supported), this is a different way to enjoy TV. Simply install the App and add the Provider ID from a participating Provider in your area. No service in your area? Call your Cable or Telco Operator now and tell them you want Cordless Cable!!! Cordless Cable is the perfect solution for Cord Cutters, or as an upgrade to your existing Cable or TV Service. Cordless Cable is your chance to experience TV in a new way, without sacrificing a thing. Do you enjoy TV on the big screen...remote in hand. We got that. Do you want to watch all your channels on the go. We got that. Cordless cable reinvents the TV experience: - A completely new way of checking out the latest Program listings. We throw away the old "Grid Guide" Experience for something far easier to use. - Cordless Cable comes exclusively with the Patent-Pending GoBack experience, which lets you go back in time 6 or more hours and watch any previous program on any channel (when supported). - Whether using Channel Up/Down on a remote or tapping any channel from the easy to swipe Channel Banner on mobile devices, channel changes are faster than many Digital Cable Boxes, despite being streamed over the Internet. - All of the expected features are in the App including Live TV, DVR Recording (when supported), VOD (when supported), program searches and more. Cordless Cable was designed to replace your Cable Box at home, but also follow you anywhere you go. Therefore, the Cordless Cable App is available as both lean forward experience (Mobile devices and tablets) and an optimized lean back experience (Streaming Sticks, Media Players and Smart TVs with remotes). NOTE: A participating Cable Company or Video Service Provider must be available in your area. Your provider will give you a Provider ID to use with Cordless Cable. Not one in your area? Call your Cable Company, Telco Operator or other Video Provider and insist they launch Cordless Cable now!!! We'll be waiting for you.
