I'm using the TiVo app from the TiVo corporation. I'm in the US so I got
it from the US store. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm
not sure there isn't anything I can't do with it. It seems completely
accessible.
You can connect directly to your TiVo over your wifi or access it
remotely if you're not at home. You don't have access to as much
functions if you're connecting remotely.
If I'm watching TV, and I bring up the app, the info tab will give me
information about the show I'm watching.
The guide tab gives me a list of everything that's playing on the TiVo,
and it lets me move backwards and forwards in time. If I click on a show
in the guide, I'll get info about the show, and I'll be able to either
record it or watch it live.
There's a my shows tab, which shows me what's been recorded and what
TiVo recommends. I can watch a recorded show or delete a show from my
TiVo. There's also a way to get recorded shows over to my iPhone, but I
haven't looked into this myself yet.
You can also manage your season passes through the app. If all else
fails, you can bring up a remote on the app and then just hit the thumbs
up button or numeric channel numbers directly, just as you would on the
remote. Again, it all seems accessible.
I'm going partly by memory since I'm traveling internationally at the
moment. I'm also sure I haven't tried everything on the app.
Ah, I just realized I could have gone in remotely and had it record the
Dolphins game on Sunday! Now I'll just have to rely on NFL's Audio Pass.

I was interested to know there's an app to control your Tivo since our Cable
company use this box, or one with that name anyway.
Can you please tell me the name of the app you use and then tell me what you
can and cannot do with the app?
This is quite important because we've been discussing access to Tivo quite a
lot over here in the UK and I don't think anyone else has found an app to be
successful here so far, so I want to be sure to get my facts straight before
I say anything.
Thanks for any help you can give, on or off list.

I agree. I like controlling my TiVo with my iPhone app, and I'm looking
forward to getting one of those radio controlled thermostats.
Fortunately, I've been able to find a washer and a dryer that have rotating
knobs that either have a known starting point, or an arrow on the dial, so I
can where it's pointing. I kind of like the idea of a washer and/or dryer
that would also notify me when the load is done! I may not pay a lot for it,
but I could see where it would be nice to sit upstairs and know whether the
load is done without having to run downstairs to check.

Hi Marianne,
Whether it is VO friendly or not is anybody's guess. Maybe Apple
Stores will have one of these sets set up as a demo, then you could go
there and ask them to let you try it with Voiceover.
I agree it's a gadget although as Ben pointed out just as any home
automation this can have it's uses.
I am much more looking forward to seeing smart appliances like
washers, dryers, stoves, dish washers etc. LG, Samsung and a few
others have been talking about this and showing off units at CES for a
couple of years now, but I don't think anything has really made it's
way into the mass market yet. I want to replace my old clunker of a
Matec top loading washer at some point with a modern front loader, but
so many of them nowadays have touch sensitive controls or endlessly
turning dials which make it hard to mark them properly. I'd much
rather put my laundry in, pull up an app and set the program, water levels
etc.

Sieghard
