With Viacom demanding higher fees for their channels to be run on Time Warner Cable, it looks like you might have to turn to the Internet for your Colbert Report and Dora the Explorer. That time might come as soon as tonight, with a blackout on Time Warner Cable and Brighthouse Network customers threatened for tonight at midnight.
Fear not. With TVUPlayer you can watch most of the 19 channels that might be removed if an agreement can’t be reached. At least you can watch the key ones: Comedy Central, Spike TV, Nickelodeon and MTV are all available to stream. The quality’s not great, but it’s better than nothing isn’t it?

This player sucks. Nothing connected except some obscure channel and the interface is hilariously crappy. I keep getting “connect errors” for most of the popular channels that most anyone would want to use this far. I’m sure you can get away with this crap interface with Windows users, but we Mac users are spoiled with better UI’s that actually make sense.
After closing this monstrosity it forgot the last window settings I left it at when I opened it again.
Search? HA.. Ha… apparently that’s not needed…
My Gawd this app is a big barrel of suck even for a rough beta (which I hope to gawd this is).
TRASHED. This should still be in alpha. Go back to the drawing board.
