Control TiVo YouTube using a smartphone or tablet

Came across this tonight and thought it was rather cool - apologies if it's been pointed out before

You can control the YouTube app on TiVo using an Android device without any major networking hassles, and it works now.

All you need to do is make sure you've authorised the TiVo app with your YouTube account and then follow the instructions under the 'Pair' option (all the way to the right under 'My YouTube' on TiVo)

If you have Android 3 or 4 then it's all built into the main YouTube app, or you can download 'YouTube Remote' from Google Play

You then have full control over what appears on the YouTube TiVo app from the YouTube app on your device - and it's very responsive. It also allows for much better playlist building - because you can do search and add all on the device without interrupting what is playing on the TV
