Available on iPads since the end of 2011 (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/05/cox-tv-connect-app-brings-more-live-cable-tv-streaming-to-ipads/) and on iPhone / iPod touch since the end of last year, it's finally made the trek to a "select" group of Android tablets, consisting of the Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy 2 / Galaxy Note slates. A support document also mentions Amazon's Kindle Fire family, however the app isn't in its store as of this posting. For those not familiar, it's a free app for subscribers that lets them watch a selection of live TV channels while connected to their home wireless network, and view listings anywhere. We'll be interested to see if the list of compatible (Android 4.0+) hardware grows quickly, or if users will need to wait for a port of the new app whichadds personalization features (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/09/cox-shows-new-live-streaming-tv-app-ces/) tied into Cox's Trio DVR platform.
