I'm not too sure, I don't use it too often, and normally via the app. If I search on google and select the normal YouTube it automatically goes to the mobile version which has the square button to go to the TV option. Sorry I can't be more help. If I could work out how to attach a photo of the screen I could post what I get.

New YouTube app for iPhone launched http://youtube-global.blogspot.co.uk...-for-your.html so wondering if this included the right bits for the YouTube app paring?

Not as far as I can see, the usual Google not pulling products in the same direction.

The YouTube app on TiVo pairs very well with my iPhone / iPad I rarely ever used the YouTube app on my TiVo prior to pairing. The remote made it at best very painful, let's face it it was ****. Now it's a brand new channel with extraordiry amounts of content.

How to connect:

1. Open YouTube app on TiVo and scroll down to MY YOUTUBE and then Pair (you will be given a nine digit code).

2. I then open on my iphone / ipad
http://m.youtube.com/#/menugrid
(I have bookmarked this URL as it takes me where I need to be directly) then open Add TV put in the code and you're up and running.

YouTube will never be the same again!

Another URL for YouTube that I like =
http://www.youtube.com/movies?fl=f&pt=fm
(gained that URL from an OP can't remember where but I'm grateful all the same).

Looking at the first post the OP has stated that on Android there is a separate remote app so I guess the native app doesn't have it built in.

Actually, it does - but only if you are on Android 4 or above (or have the table specific Honeycomb). For those versions below you have to use the remote app (or the website as those on iOS do)

Hi, sorry to be a numbnut, but does the tivo box need to be connected through router first to do this?

That's the cool thing about it - no it doesn't.

Just thought I'd add that YouTube have now added this option to the website - so you can now do it from a computer

Just go here http://www.youtube.com/pair

I love the VM anywhere app on my iphone to set programmes. When I was in Crete this year I wanted to set up a series link for Under the Dome the realised VM don't support Apple very well in this department and my phone has limited use abroad if any.
