As the apps will integrate with the web streaming videos these will be totally different from any existing Red button services and there for not be affected if they are stopped in the future.

Hello jamesnoe,

At present media sharing from the Tivo box is not available. This is something that may happen in the near future.

Thanks.

I hope this does happen in the near future. It would make Tivo even better. It already works on the US Tivo

The BBC News app will be before the end of March with the sports apps to follow according to this

Yes it is the non VM one, I've tried it a couple of times and so far it's come back with an error. Wil keep testing it. Using the Tv guide on the iPad on IOS5.01

I guess this is old news so to speak,but a quick search showed nothing.

Had a call from Virgin last night. How did I like the Tivo Etc.

Only have a couple of moans - well known here.

Was told that yes Virgin had made a mistake in not adding reminders & that most of the people spoken too, listed it as the number one want.

Was told that it & full red button on BBC would be in the next up grade due between Jan & March 2012.

However he had not heard any one complain about having to reset favorites as the main option any and again ( yes I know) . Also hinted at a new style of box being looked at. More in line with the V+ LED display ( Now I would like one of them !!!

)

I don't think it was a mistake as such, especially as TiVo has never had reminders and when working on things to add/change reminders probably weren't high on the agenda as its a legacy feature from before VM had a PVR.

The apps won't need an update to get added. Apps can be downloaded to the stb when they are released, seperate from any updates.

I hope the Sky Sports red button app is also released in Q1 2012 just like the 2 BBC apps are getting released in Q1 2012.

Well DF has said there will be a full red button/interactive service by the end of Q1 2012. So i hope that is still correct.

Does anyone else think ITV needs red button live streams for the french open tennis next year ?

Maybe a ITV Sport app on TiVo ?

DF always knows what he is talking about.
