Theres an app on TiVo now that allows you to sign in and view your files on the cloud!

Is that it? Or will the functionality work the other way and allow you to view recordings on the TiVo on a PC/Mobile Device?

At the moment its just TiVo app that does the same thing as drop box, its been out months nothing new, apart from TiVo platform now had it.

I thought we would see something new like when hitting record option to record to cloud so you have it in the mlove as with picture etc, #not

If Virgin had something that let you watch recorded programs from your TIVO on your mobile and laptop they would be shouting about the fact. This is the kind of function that people would subscribe to Virgin for.

As MB posted
EXCLUSIVE: Virgin Media to launch new app for TiVo from tomorrow
Virgin Media sources has told Media Boy HQ that Virgin Media have developed a cloud based mobile app for TiVo set to launch starting tomorrow (April 23rd).

As it stands this app will allow you to from April 23rd-

Stream to a TV that has a Chromecast dongle connected.
Capture clips from TV and upload to social media.

To launch later in 2015:

Watch your recorded programmes from your TiVo box.
Watch and rewind/restart every live channel you are subscribed to, even ones without a catch up service.

The app does not allow you to do any of these things, so I'm I missing something

Its just the cloud app like a Dropbox, google drive alternative, that has been out for months on pc, iOS and android.

Which only allows you to upload files i.e pictures, music, video (not TiVo recorded content)

So nothing new here, its just TiVo has been added were you can view it on TiVo nothing more a bit like the other app were you logged on to various social media sites to view on the TV.

So the question is, in that quote were is the other features of this app.

---------- Post added at 08:04 ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 ----------

Where can you capture clips?, I have re read saying other features late 2015, but neither stream to Chromecast.

Agree there is nothing new apart from now on TIVO so you can view your virtual storage on there as far as I understand it, the app has not changed

You are missing the fact that VM didn't announce any of these things.

Are these features on the roadmap SP or can't you say?

I appreciate the point your making that VM hasn't actually announced anything so we could be getting hopes up false information and wrongly blaming VM

I don't know what is planned. I'm not involved in the apps. (Of course, if I was involved, I still couldn't tell you :))

The last Viacom deal was signed in June 2013.

Before that the deal was signed in August 2010.

So base on that I say the Viacom is up in Summer 2016.

So is this info wrong MB or just delayed?

BTW, I have no problem with you posting info such as this, even if it does end up being bad info; that's just the nature of these things.
