We need a new TiVo
Unfortunately, although it is called TiVo for iPad, with all TiVos doesn’t work. While the olderTiVo Series 3 TiVo Series 3 and TiVo HD boxes foreign network support remote controls, will work with the TiVo app. I understand though, that the premiere and premiere XL have new functions and hardwarethat lacks the S3/HD TiVo I have like to seen have the olde boxes, working with at least the basic search and remote features.

User interface
The interface  is pure TiVo. All Bloops and bongs exist on your iPad, so it looks and feels the UI on your TiVo premiere touch. The same symbols are available, so it very little learning curve. You can scroll up through a channel’s day page guide check out schedule your recorded shows my page shows and manage your season passes from the iPad app. The remote control is one of the better features: you have basically a TiVo slide remote iPad app incorporated. All the TiVo functions are available, including thumbs up / down, pause, FF / REW, forward/back to skip and pause. The iPad app allows you to gestures mode, to switch to sections on the screen cursor movements and TiVo functionsunion california compton perform swipe.

There are some drawbacks of  the TiVo interface, however: If you are Guide pages display, explore another layer to actors need to dig deeper and similar shows. The app should actor search  pages, link because you are highlighted to guide info pages. The guide will also show that if a program “like”, but it can be to change this page up/down the thumb. You have again influence this setting to dig a little deeper. Maybe you will to fix in a future release. The guide is only in the TiVo’s default format: If you want to format the old “grid” EPG, are out of luck. To get a more nit: suggestions for videos give up TiVo search on the iPad app you tube, but can you look at on TiVo on your HDTV. It would make more sense the ability to view which you tube vids on your iPad and automation scripts pet show you save you. Also who hoped recorded footage on your iPad preview is pitch: this is a remote app only, no playback app. You need to convert your recorded videos iPad format if you want to see you on the go.

Relationship saver
That is the ability to search for programming the iPad, while your companions show something else a media-centric relationship rescue can help. DVR-power-user know that the search show up while someone else is just fighting can cause. The TiVo app can let the power user search and to his heart’s content to manage, interrupt without a currently playing  program. What is great is that it also uses the online content. You want to find something on Netflix and then to see on the big screen? Done. You want to show your companions the latest viral video on you tube? Done. Want to create while simultaneously watching the latest COP drama a season pass? Done.

Already have the necessary hardware, an iPad and then by all means download a TiVo premiere, the TiVo iPad app here. After all, it of free and gives you additional functionality in a handheld remote. There are a number of shortcomings, which hopefully will can in future updates solved but for TiVo Premiere users, it is easy.
