TiMote
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
TiMote allows you to control your TiVo® Series 3 DVR with your iPhone or iPod Touch.
As it uses short, raw commands over the local WiFi network, it is very fast — it allows for the benefits of a long-range RF remote with the speed of a standard point-and-aim IR remote. Furthermore, it costs less than either of those and adds features that are only possible on a device like the iPhone, along with an obsessively-thought-out, easy-to-use user interface.
FEATURES:
✓ A polished, usable user interface designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch
✓ All the standard features of a remote control (fast-forwarding/rewinding, channel-surfing, etc. — everything you’d expect that controls a TiVo®)
✓ Automatic detection of DVRs (no IP entry required)
✓ Gestures for up/down/left/right (as well as buttons, but this can be faster if you prefer)
✓ Fast text entry (that is, you can input text on your TiVo® with your iPhone’s keyboard instead of painstakingly navigating up/down/left/right across the screen)
✓ View status information (current channel being watched and whether it’s being recorded)
✓ Favorites list for frequently viewed channels
✓ View “Now Playing” information from your iPhone or iPod Touch
REQUIREMENTS:
- TiVo® Series 3, TiVo® HD, TiVo® HD XL, or TiVo® Premiere DVR connected to a WiFi network.
- iPhone or iPod Touch running OS 3.0 or higher.
LEGAL:
- TiMote is not endorsed or in any way associated with TiVo®, Inc.
