one of original free remote customers
 

Was wondering if anyone else who had the free remote for tivo and registered their unique number. Got email back to say I would be contacted with installation date.
Still waiting any one else still waiting?

No, received the remote on the Saturday Morning, got the phone call on, I think, the following Tuesday and had it installed on the 17th.
I think you may need to chase them up, although that could be easier said than done!

I think VM should stock these, for sale,along with the wifi dongles that connect the tivo boxes to your local network.

Of course the ipad app will blow those qwerty remotes out of the water

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

Yeah, a "TiVo Shop" App would be great :) :) :)

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

Is the TiVo Slide confirmed to work with the VM version?

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

The ipad app has it's own thread, please stick with that

I'd love a Tivo slide out qwerty remote. That would make text input far superior. I hope VM have plans to stock these.

Can't be that hard to make, just change the ir frequency and put a virgin sticker at the bottom!

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

It won't work, but there may be a VM version introduced at some point.

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

I hope so, I'd certainly pay for it :)

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

It won't work as the Slide remote is bluetooth and not IR.

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

I would definitely pay for it! Hopefully there aren't any technical limitations which would prevent them from introducing this.

Re: one of original free remote customers
 

I'm sure I've read elsewhere that VM are looking at introducing the slide remote later this year, also read on the USA Tivo site that it requires a dongle in the USB port for the box used in the USA, but we have the new Cisco box in the UK, so expect some development work required?

See link and comment below on the need for a USB dongle:

Since TiVo doesn't have Bluetooth radios built in, the remote comes with a USB dongle that is plugged into an available USB port on TiVo Series3, TiVo HD, or TiVo Premiere boxes.

Unless Cisco/VM have snuck a Bluetooth reciever inside the VM TiVo and not advertised it?

Don't suppose we would ever know unless someone cracks the thing open.
