« on: June 21, 2012, 07:28:54 pm »


If you're a fan of TIVO you've probably been waiting for the company to come out with a tablet optimized version of their TIVO App.  Well guess what...it's here!   With the new TIVO Android App you can turn your Android tablet or phone into a command center for your DVR.  You can search, browse, discover and share all your favorite programs without even interrupting the program you're currently watching.  You can quickly browse new content, view guides, schedule and manage your recordings, get recommendations...and so much more...all from the easy to use touch-optimized interface on your tablet.   Here's a short video that runs down even more of the features that are available on both your tablet and phone with the TIVO App for Android.

This video shows many of the features on the Android Phone...it is similar on your tablet.
