DVR Remote Is Another, Better Way to Control TiVo With Your iPhone

By Mark Wilson on January 23, 2009 at 12:20 AM

Not long after we saw the App Store’s first TiVo remote for the iPhone, we see its second, DVR Remote.


DVR Remote uses Wi-Fi to connect to TiVos on your network with a one-button command. I’ve tried out the $US3 program, and even though it’s $US2 more than its competitor (which has recently been renamed RemoteT), it also feels far more polished with nicer graphics, instantaneous TiVo syncing and handy-looking Now Playing list that I couldn’t spot in my build.

The iPhone isn’t quite our ultimate universal remote, but with enough specific apps it could certainly get us a bit closer to the dream. [DVR Remote (iTunes Link)]
