That's understandable especially as the Tivo is a mass market product, it is a pity that they don't have enough gumption to switch it on with out any advertising for those that want to fiddle and as content providers come on just add the streaming allowed flag that is already there.
Such a pity that doing this would inundate them with support calls from people trying to do things that the read about on some forum that is either completely out of their depth or they are to lazy to investigate for them selves.

I do look forward to seeing what solution they come up with considering that I have to implement networking to my second Tivo when streaming is finally switched on any way.

Who needs multiroom or more than 1 TiVo ? Get an AV sender and save yourself some money.

The human race will be extinct by the time VM come up with anything.

Always nice to read your optimistic posts Mr K.:D

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

Let's just put it this way. I've been 'updated' today. I've had to look in the dictionary as my understanding of updating is not the same as VM's.....

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

As well as optimistic your posts are becoming very humorous as well.:D

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

I've got 2 Tivos, and both of them feed a second TV through a scart modulator, so have VM TV on 4 TV's in the house.

Problem is 2 of the TV's can ONLY watch what is one 1 box, and 2 of the TV's can ONLY watch what is on the other - THATS why we need MRS :)

Once in place I can watch anything, from any of the boxes, on any of the 4 TV's! :p:

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

Sorry for bumping an old thread. I had to remove TIVO Commander from my old phone after I ran out of space. With a shiny new phone I thought I'd have a go at installing it again as it was an excellent app. I noticed it is back in the Play Store now, renamed as DVR Commander, though I couldn't get it to connect using the IP and MAK. Is it still blocked by the firmware update, or was that ever resolved?

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

Yes it is still blocked, but have a look at RCX for tivo which works quite well and Zeebox is a tv guide that will change channel on the tivo. If you are still short of memory, try Network Remote for Tivo which also works but isn't very pretty!

Many thanks :)

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

I was wondering when VM are going (or if ever) to make an andriod app for watching your package tv? Seems BT and Sky have it all up and running. Would be nice to watch my programs on my tablet while the boss watches her rubbish.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

That would be 'Coming Soon'.

Translation from Virgin speak = Doubt that we will ever see it.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

The official VM android TiVo app won't be too far away.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

They had it, and it worked, last year, and it was slated to arrive in the first quarter of this. So, any day now...

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

Well Virgin Smartcall (http://customer.virginmedia.com/smartcall) was 'just around the corner' last November and that is still coming soon!

What is it with VM and the apps? :shrug:

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
 

working and being ready for public rollout are two totally different things. Its probably going through a lot of testing as we speak.
