EXCLUSIVE: Virgin Media to launch new app for TiVo from tomorrow
Virgin Media sources has told Media Boy HQ that Virgin Media have developed a cloud based mobile app for TiVo set to launch starting tomorrow (April 23rd).

As it stands this app will allow you to from April 23rd-

Stream to a TV that has a Chromecast dongle connected.
Capture clips from TV and upload to social media.

To launch later in 2015:

Watch your recorded programmes from your TiVo box.
Watch and rewind/restart every live channel you are subscribed to, even ones without a catch up service.

The app does not allow you to do any of these things, so I'm I missing something

Its just the cloud app like a Dropbox, google drive alternative, that has been out for months on pc, iOS and android.

Which only allows you to upload files i.e pictures, music, video (not TiVo recorded content)

So nothing new here, its just TiVo has been added were you can view it on TiVo nothing more a bit like the other app were you logged on to various social media sites to view on the TV.

So the question is, in that quote were is the other features of this app.
