Actually there is an official android TiVo app available in the US with similar functionality to TiVo Commander. Probably take less than 10 mins of development time to make it available to VM UK customers, but that would be too easy.

There was probably a commercial reason behind it which we'll never know (perhaps a deal with Apple to give them a monopoly, or them introducing a charge if they ever do launch an official app). Either that and/or incompetence, both are believable reasons with VM.
