Cox ends its Internet TV trial in Southern California

Cox has ended, just three months after its launch, the trial of its Flarewatch service, which gave customers of the Internet service provider access to an Internet-based TV subscription.

Flarewatch was available to a limited number of Cox customers in Orange County (CA) and offered 90 TV channels as well as a cloud DVR service for $40 a month. Flarewatch was an interesting experiment, because it marked the first time that one of the major cable providers offered an Internet-based TV service.
