Time Warner Cable Inc. is launching an iPad application that will bring live television to the iPad, although don’t plan on going farther than your frontyard as viewing will be restricted to the home.

The app, available for free download Tuesday, provides Time Warner Cable customers who pay for video and Internet to watch 30 cable channels on their Apple tablet, including Comedy Central, MTV and Fox News.

“We are tremendously excited about this app, which is the first of many that will allow our customers to harness the power of their tablet-type devices,” Time Warner Cable President Rob Marcus said in a statement.

Over time, Time Warner Cable envisions adding more features, such as the ability to use the tablet as a remote control, to set home recording or watch on-demand video.
