Nothing wrong really, they don't want 3rd party companies connecting with the box, like most companies. Only problem being they haven't bothered to actually release the official version in nearly a year now.

Maybe its for TiVo to iOS/Android device streaming... :hyper:

Thats the nub of the problem 3rd party apps are only out there because VM have not released official ones as yet.

There is an app also from a 3rd party that gives the reminder function to TiVo now if a 3rd party can programme one why not VM.

Tivo themselves have no problem with 3rd party apps - they even document the protocols on their website. This is purely VM being anal about it.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the TiVo Commander app was pulled from the Android Market at TiVo's request.

To be fair, the MindRPC stuff isn't documented.

Oh dear. It's official. Virgin are disabling access and their own app is scheduled for "later in the year". Back to using the remote to key in search terms again.

What a disappointment. Mine is still working at the moment so I guess my area is not part of the pilot. Here's hoping that common sense rules before this software update (sic) is rolled out nationally.

:( :td: :td:

Wow a backwards step indeed. One of the best features of TIVO disabled, and the official app nowhere to be seen. Poor show VM.
