Re: WOO! Update your iPad FIOS APP...live streaming TV If youre home, can somebody please explain why you would rather watch TV on an IPAD opposed to your hi-def TV? Not my cup-o-tea I guess, I think its pretty ridiculous actually.
Strap your Ipad to your face, and viola! a 200" HDTV.

In the nicer weather, I like to bring my iPad outside and (when I was on Cable) watch baseball games on my iPad sitting on my deck outside where there is no TV. Otherwise, I rarely used the live TV app.

depends on how many people want to watch something. Consider it an extra HD TV set. Will come in handy when 2 programs are already recording. Also use with headphones so one can stay in the same room as others who may be using the "real TV"

It's not ridiculous. I can give you several reasons:
1) Mobility - if I want to watch something in a room that currently doesn't have a TV, I would be able to do that. For example, my wife is big on not having a TV in the bedroom. Or, as someone mentioned, being able to watch something outside.
2) Number of screens - we have 7 peole in our house, and three TVs. Screen space is a premium. If I can get a good number of channels without the need for another TV or another STB... I think that's a very good thing.
3) Content - I have 5 kids - 3 of whom are 7 and younger. There are shows/movies that we don't want them watching, but I would like to be able to watch. I could wait until they all go to bed... or I could just fire up a tablet, and stream that movie. I use my phone for that purpose alot, actually.
In fact, I was thinking of getting my wife a tablet for Christmas. I was torn between a number of Android tablets, and the ipad mini. This is one big reason to with the mini. |
