From what I heard, the app that will allow live streaming on android (handhelds) has a tentative launch date of 10/31.

Any idea if this will be via an 'update' to the now Optimum DVR Manager app, or will it be a whole other app?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27709624 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:42:06 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27689255 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27689255 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 01:22:56 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27689238 said by cabletecht:

Obviously it was tentative and obviously there are bigger problems right now in the Cablevision footprint (godspeed hurricane victims), but the date has come and gone.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27689238 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 01:06:43 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27649293 with online play, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 coming out for XBox without online play. Now the big difference is that this app is free, so what can you do. When you have something called the "Optimum App" and it does certain things on iOS/PC/Mac/Kindle it's fair to expect that it'll do pretty much the same on Android. Moreover, considering how long it's been on iOS, it's understandable how many people with Android phones and tablets are fed up. I use the iOS version, so this technically doesn't affect me, but I still think it's ridiculous how long it has taken. (The same thing that happened with Netflix).

I agree, though, that now that it is actually called the "Optimum DVR Manager", there's no viable reason to rate it 1* for not having official "Optimum App" features.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27649293 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:54:03 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27649093 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27649093 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:03:18 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27648781
Not to say the Android version of the iOS, Kindle Fire, and PC/Mac isn't long overdue (it is - and I'm an Android user), but the app has always been a web DVR manager and that's what it should be rated as. If an app has a missing feature that is in the vein of what it does, I'd say it's fair game. Another example of what I mean is that I wouldn't vote down the iOS app, for example, for not allowing you to watch DVR+ content you recorded even though it's not on a physical box.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27648781 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:39:58 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27647730 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27647730 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:23:41 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27647676 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27647676 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:10:20 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27642228 said by JohnILM:

They didn't give up, they renamed the current app to match what it does.

Was hoping it was that. My only worry was that why would they bother to rename it if the fully functioning app was 'just around the corner'. Made me think they decided to scrap the project and didn't want to confuse people any more.

Thanks for the info!

They probably got sick of people giving 1* ratings because they were too stupid to read the description.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27642228 Sat, 20 Oct 2012 00:32:34 EDT Re: "Optimum App for Android" gone http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-quotOptimum-App-for-Androidquot-gone-27641772 said by cabletecht:

What used to be the "Optimum" app for the Android OS no longer appears in Google Play. It's been replaced with the "Optimum DVR Manager" app. Did CV just give up on Android for live tv and remote control functionality?
