TiVoRemote App Updated with Slick GUI and Handy Features
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 7:40 AM on July 1, 2008
TiVoremote, the iPhone / iPod touch Telnet TiVo Remote app, was finally updated a few weeks ago with an ooey gooey GUI, and some really useful new features. Now at version 0.23, the app can now detect TiVos on your home network, allowing for easy selection of the TiVo you want to control. What's even better is the app now has the ability to download the Now Playing list data from the TiVo, allowing the iPhone to show what's been recorded and display each recordings data info. The app can also use the NPL data to start playing the recordings automatically. So if you've got a Jailbroken iPhone / iPod touch, and a Series 3 TiVo, I would suggest giving the app a try, it's surprisingly useful. [TiVoRemote]

Times like these make me wish I still had my iPhone jailbroken. Oh well, I am selling it this Wednesday to raise funds for the iPhone 3G. Hopefully we will find something similar to this in the app store in the not-so-distant future.

I'm not understanding how this works (even after looking at the link). Can you have complete live control of a TiVo via a network connection? I wouldn't have thought a TiVo would have a reason to have that capability built in... Can anyone explain how this works?

Yeah you have it all there in the link. But to sum it up for others. TiVo and Creston partnered up. TiVo added a rudimentary telnet client to the TiVo box which allows the Creston home automation device to control the TiVo.
The telnet is very rudimentary and really only provides access to the IR commands.

@JEmlay: Which significantly contributed to my decision to switch to FiosTV.

It's absurd that you have to hack your iPhone to be able to use things like this.
