I don't see why not, if the customer is already paying to watch why shouldn't they be allowed to watch it on whatever device they choose. It seems it is no different than what Dish Network does with their app and allowing you to stream your DVR to your device using the Sling Player. What are your thoughts?</p>

I just started using the Time Warner app and really like it (and would love to see more channels made available). As far as I'm concerned, since I'm paying for the channels, I should be allowed to view them on whichever device I like.
