Want to control your TiVo from your office?
05.13.08 - 02:20pm
Now you can, from your iPhone or iPod Touch thanks to the new application called TiVoRemote. A user named Duckfin has compiled a program that gives the iPod touch and iPhone a TiVo Remote. The TiVoRemote, makes a practical use of TiVo’s Telnet control feature. With most other apps, it does require a jail broken iPhone or iPod.
Installation is quite simple and will allow for TiVoRemote to be installed, once a new source has been added. When you launch this program and enter the settings menu, the next requirement is the TiVo’s IP address. Your iPod or iPhone is now ready to control your Series 3 or HD TiVo. Hit the TiVoRemote link in order to complete the instructions.
For installation, you can simply add http://tivoremote.googlecode.com/svn/www/repo.xml to your installer app sources and click on the TiVoRemote in the “toys” category. Now you’re ready to finish that project at work while your TiVoRemote does the work for your TiVo at home.
