Re: TiVo Commander Android App

There would of course be no argument had Virgin released their own version of the app. Since several people have managed to release fully working apps from the comfort of their bedrooms and in their spare time I'm struggling with the idea that so much needs to be changed from the US version to make it compatible with the UK Tivo that Virgin haven't managed it yet. Something else is going on here, there's a reason that two massive companies in Virgin and Tivo haven't been able to achieve what a teenager would probably knock up in an afternoon, but I cannot for the life of me work out what it is.

The reason the full TiVo app is coming for iOS first is that TiVo released their app for iOS first, and the VM version is based off that.

Now that TiVo have released an Android version, then Virgin work towards the Android version for the VM TiVo
Thanks for the answer, and fair enough. Any idea why it's taking so long?

No, that's the reason the app was removed from the android market. Unless you're suggesting that Virgin have withdrawn this functionality at the request of Tivo to safeguard Tivo's copyright?
