According to the author it was pulled because he used the Tivo logo and other TM artwork. He said that when he had time and resources he would update the app and remove these.
Its a pretty crappy move, this is something that would have put it over sky and it would have been big with techies now we have to wait for Virgin to remove all the good features on their Buddy app and may be getting it released sometime "later in the year"

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
This is laughable. One of the few functions of TiVo that works very well and VM are going to disable it. What a joke of a company, completely out of touch with their customers.

Maybe not VM but TiVo themselves.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
Nope, VM are a joke. If they had an official app fair enough, but they don't. No reason for this downgrade, they could tell 'TiVo inc' where to go if they are the ones demanding this, they couldn't afford to lose VM.

As has been pointed out Tivo have documentation that shows you how to use their networking features to create network apps. This is a VM decision, Tivo in the US is quite a open platform and lets you do a lot more with the network side of things.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
Don't suppose there is anyway to stop this 'downgrade' from happening? Mine works ok at the moment and want to keep it that way.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App
Just had a good whinge on the support forum about this. No doubt it'll be ignored but its made me feel better anyway !
To have something that works well and deliberately knacker it seems bonkers. TiVo needs all it can get it the battle with Sky, and remote control was a major advantage which they've taken away.
We'll be waiting months/years for a VM app which I'm betting won't be as good or restricted to Apple or some such nonsense.

I'd of thought it was almost ready if they've done that... understand the frustration though.

Doesn't mean anything with Virgin, 'almost' means any time between now and Christmas for Virgin

He's probably still waiting for 'digital text', which my old PACE box told me was 'coming' for years (!)
What sort of app are they doing ? Will it be android and will it have the same functionality as TiVo Commander ?
