  1. well Cos subscribers can’t watch all channels on their iPad. They can watch 35 channels on their iPad within the confines of their own house if they meet all the requirements set down by Cox in order to use the service. Which is amazing, they have the most requirements of any provider in the industry to use their streaming service. Working at DISH I watched all these apps come out from across the industry, and I was a little shocked when they all had the same limitation. Limited channels and limited stream, two very big road blocks when it comes to streaming to a mobile device. Of course they envision merging it with their mobile app, but that could be years before they let it out of the house. I am impatient, so I think I will keep using my sling adapter hooked up to my DISH receiver, it allows me to stream all my live channels and recorded shows to my mobile device no matter where I am giving me a true TV everywhere experience.
