This isn't an app, but it loads quite happily on my smartphone (HTC Desire) - http://tv.virginmedia.com/vtvapp/epg.do

I think 'the masses' would like it; it's a case of how well the functionality is explained to them so that they understand how usefull it is.
I'm not sure how well that will be done though.

Maybe, I think they need to more than like features like that and rather find them desirable as of course you have to pay for them.
I must admit I am finding a lot of the discussion on it's features confusing though. I would consider myself one of the masses so hopefully it will be explained in a simple and concise way, if that's possible.

In the mean time can I recommend TV Guide for the iPad, really great. All it needs is to show the channel numbers too and it would be perfect.

For eaxample, does it list channels like Watch or Universal?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I think that's the problem, I don't know anyone called Dean so they obviously skipped me.

Sky has to be careful as TiVo has Patents for a lot of it's features.
