Re: Optimum App for LaptopWhat is really annoying is that this landing page is available with a simple search.
Did I miss the part where they say it won't work for you unless you are invited or until the go live date?
I went through the tests and install, and everything is fine until you log into the app. Really Stupid.
BTW, I called support, and they said this is going to be active on Feb 9.

Did they stop trying to make an Android App with streaming? |

I must admit, watching the pregame show using the Optimum App for Laptop is pretty neat. |

"We're sorry, but your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to run the Optimum App for Laptop."
yeah ok I have a quad core 2011 dell XPS |

It also works on my older 32-bit MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo). I should try it on my almost 8 year old Dell XPS laptop to see if it works, just to see if it works on the Ballmer Operating System. |

I live in central NJ and it works like charm on 27" iMac. It is as good as having another STB for a 27" TV. Not bad. |

Maybe I missed this in this thread, but do you have to be at home to use this service, once it is released and working?

You have to be behind a Cablevision modem for this to work like the rest of the Optimum Apps. |

must be on home network to work. I AM on the home network. :/ I guess you have to be directly connected to the modem? |

In the 3+ weeks since the start of this thread, I see users from a lot of locations besides just Long Island, that have been able to get this to work, albeit with differing issues. So I tried yet again, only to have the response come back that my account is not activated for the app. I wonder how long they'll be playing this game, before the poor step-children in Dutchess get a shot at it. |

I got a voicemail from them today saying they are updating the Internet in the area.
Did you get that VM too?
And yes I was never able to get the app to work either. |

It should be a pretty straightforward process. It's certainly a lot easier than complain here about your account not being activated. Be a little proactive! |

Well, I guess everyone else is SOL for now. I guess that's why it is no longer on the optimum.net home page. |

I called and asked for an activation a week ago, but they said no - they also said that it was going live on the 9th. The dope must have misheard that the trial was closing on the 9th.... not that it was going live.
I think there is no option but to wait.

Does anyone know when this is going public? I have been trying for weeks to log in hoping something would change. But, I still get the message about my account not being enabled for use with the optimum app for laptop. I even called a couple of weeks ago to try to get added. I was told that there was nothing he can do. He said that it goes by area and they would be working there way east(long Island) but he couldn't tell me when. He said they were in Nassau county and to keep checking. |
