It would be like asking Liverpool FC to wear blue

Interesting news on the official Android app, anyone know if this will work with the VM TIVO?

Dunno. It's in the market as 'incompatible with your country' so someone would have to find get the .apk to test it

Well, the app you can download for your computer from tivo.com doesn't work with the VM TiVo so I doubt it.

No I don't think it will. If its like the iPad app then we will need to wait for VM to modify the app and officially release it to the UK marketplace.

Although it's possible that the hack to get the US version of the iOS app working could also work for the Android app - if you can hold of it

How dare you.

PHONE CALLS
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

Why on earth does the TiVo app need that kind of access?

Found it here: http://www.filecrop.com/51232645/index.html *** EDIT NOT THE OFFICIAL APP!!***

Have uploaded it to my PWP: http://www.dorsetshire.pwp.blueyonde...mote_1.521.apk *** EDIT NOT THE OFFICIAL APP!!***

Now installed to my phone. It didn't find the TIVO when searching but I manually put in my IP and the remote worked. Tried to do a search and my TIVO no longer responding to either the app or main remote so very much a case of test at your own risk. I'll report back later once I've rebooted, first impressions are that it isn't as good as TIVO Commander...

Well the remote part works, just don't try sending a search command while you're watching a recording!! Very little else seems to work, I'll be sticking to TIVO Commander at least until the official VM version comes out. I'll leave it on my PWP in case anyone wants to have a play with it.

You can put anything you like, I just put "Downstairs" and it worked fine. You can add multiple entries, so it looks like the name is just something for you so you can differentiate between multiple TIVOs.

Thanks for the app Installed on my Zoom tablet, I've only played with it for a few minutes but compared to the iPhone app its pretty poor

Hasn't picked up the channel list
Selecting ToDo for upcoming recordings, it seems to be manually selecting the options that you would from the menu to get to the reccording screen, unlike the iPhone app that goes directly

Looking through my installed apps, quiet a few of them do that including apps such as Amazon, The Guardian, Spotify, Google+, Facebook
