Has anyone tried this yet?

Announced yesterday, Time Warner Cable's iPad app arrived via iTunes as scheduled this morning to meet the rest of the pay-TV provider apps sporting its one key feature: live TV streaming of 32 cable channels.

Kind of sucks that they only support it on the iPad and not my iPod Touch 4th gen (which has almost the same resolution as the iPad - 960x640 pixels)

I installed it about an hour ago and it worked flawlessly.  Picture quality is good, no choppiness in the video.   I stopped using it for about a 1/2 hour, went back to it, and now I can't connect again.   When the app opens, I get the following:

We apologize, but we are unable to fulfill your request at this time.  Please try again later.   I tried moving closer to my AP, didn't matter.....  

I'll follow up on this later, gonna try uninstalling the app and reinstalling to see what happens.

I like the idea, but a little frustrated that it stopped working already.

As of 10:30 last night, it still wasn't working....  The uninstall/reinstall did not work....

Looks like I wasn't the only person....  I tried it yesterday and it worked fine again.

Basically, TW didn't plan for the demand.

I tried it last night and it's pretty cool, although not what I would consider HD quality.
