Time Warner Cable is preparing for TWC TV IPTV streaming on Roku boxes

[![Time Warner Cable may bring TWC TV IPTV streaming to Roku boxes soon][1] ][2]

Time Warner Cable's [TWC TV][3] streaming TV service has already arrived on [iOS][4] and [Android 4.0][5], so what's next? According to information we've received, the next stop should be connected TV platforms, starting with the popular [Roku][6] media streaming boxes. We already got a glimpse of TWC TV on an HDTV during CES 2012 when it was being demonstrated at the [Panasonic][7] and [Samsung][8] booths, and were told at the time that it could launch on "multiple platforms" later this year. While company personnel are currently being briefed on compatibility with Roku the launch could still be some time off, as previous preparations for rollouts like [streaming to PCs][9] came months ahead. We contacted reps for the company about the plan and received a "no comment" in response, so there's nothing in the way of official word just yet. Either way, if all you want to do is [ditch the bulky cable box][10] for a diminutive hockey puck, it seems like 2012 could finally be the year.
