I believe someone posted a video about this possibility. Look like it is coming to fruition.

Note that by the article, its like HBO Go ... a feature available to cable subscriber, not an alternative to having a cable subscription.

Can I get TWC thru the Xbox in an area where TWC is normally not available?

I doesn't sound like it. From this quote, it sounds like you must be a TWC subscriber to get this feature.

Quote:Joining the console's existing HBO Go stream, Time Warner Cable subscribers will be able to watch AMC, BBC World News, Bravo, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network and more through their Xbox 360, with Kinect controls to switch channels and more with a wave of your arms.

So it sounds to me like all it is is a fancy remote via Kinect for Xbox users with TWC subscriptions, not something that is available platform-wide.

You can get the same thing from a Roku with no need to pay for a subscription like Xbox Live.

If you don't already have an Xbox and Xbox Live and you want this, get a Roku instead.

Yes, because jumping up and waving my arms around is a far more effective way to change the channel than simply pushing a button on a remote.
