You can schedule series links without a hitch. Can't do WishLists though, or a second Series Link for a show that has one already on a different channel. It's a good basic app though and I quite like it... last night I set up about ten series links with it, using the search function in a few cases.
My favourite things are going right into My Shows to see what is recording without bringing up the Info menu, or playing a show from My Shows without going into those menus, which even with the F11 SD menu can be slower.
Still need the VM TV Guide app for EPG. It's a workaround using both but hey, still better than just rudimentary Peanut app iOS has.

Are you talking about seeing a movie clocking in at 23GB on the VM TiVo itself?! If so how did you do that?

Easier indeed, but I find using a proper router as a wireless bridge gives you much better range than a smaller dongle. If reliability is an issue it's something to consider when devising a solution.
