i.TV is #1 in the iTunes App Store!!!

In case you didn’t know it already, i.TV made it to NUMBER ONE in the App Store last night! Thanks to all of you who have downloaded the app and have given us such great reviews.

Here is what some in the press and blogosphere are saying about i.TV (in order of appearance):

There are a lot of App Store submissions and works-in-progress that trigger anticipatory drooling here at TUAW…, among them the program guide and movie finder i.TV…Now you can download this free tool from the App Store and see for yourself what’s so exciting.

Michael Rose, TUAW

Yes, i.TV is a piece of software. But if i.TV was human, you’d want to invite it to a candlelit dinner, look into its eyes and say “you are so sexy.”

Scott Kleinberg–iPTIB, RedeyeChicago, Chicago Tribune

Your weekend needs a well-structured plan for backlit entertainments. And thankfully the value quotient is very high with…i.TV.

John Mahoney, Gizmodo

Also some comments from our beloved users:

Wicked Good App! I just read about and downloaded your app into my iTouch. One word: Wow! I love this. I’m recommending your app to all my friends [and am] looking forward to finding out how can you possibly top it. — A

Thanks for including us Canadians, eh! Very impressive app. — P

You guys are great! I will keep this app on my phone forever. Excellent program you created. Thanks again! — D

You are the application god! You get 5 stars from me:-) — J

THANK YOU everyone for downloading i.TV, sending us your comments, writing about us and telling your friends about i.TV. Please keep it up!

In the meantime, we’ll stop celebrating and get back to work. We have some VERY exciting announcements coming up soon, so please subscribe to the i.TV blog feed and sign up for the i.TV newsletter so you can get the latest news.

What's with the filtering - I can't find a setting that doesn't hide channels like HBO at certain times of the day. Is there no option to turn the stupid filter off altogether?

Hi there-

Right now, the application only supports watching TV previews and movie trailers from within the app. Otherwise, when you tap on the Watch button, you are able to send yourself a calendar invitation to remind you to watch whichever show or movie you browsed to from the listings view.

Hope this helps!

Currently you may only watch TV previews that are available. If a preview is available, there will be small play button in the show card. You may tap on the play button and the preview will download and play. We are excited about i.TV and future capabilities that will be released in the coming weeks and months. As for time frames and upcoming features, we will release any announcements through our free i.TV news email. If you wish to get the latest updates on upcoming news, please sign up for i.TV news.

Hey Distrulyone,

Sorry you're having some difficulties. Here's what our support team would ask you to do: First make sure you have filled out every item on the i.TV account setup, and that your email address is accurate. Tap Save in the top left of your screen. You should receive a notice that a validation email is being sent, and your account status will change from "Incomplete" to "Pending".

Please check your junk mail or spam mail to see if the verification email is in there. If it is not there, you can try resending the verification email by tapping the Pending button under Account Status. Tap on this and you will be asked if you would like to have us resend the verification email. Select Yes. You should receive a new verification email in your account.

You may need to add mailagent@i.tv to your safe list for your email system.

If this doesn't work, please write Support at: http://i.tv/contact/contactform.php?topic=Support

This is an amazing app -- thank you!!

What would make it even better is the option to select *digital* over-the-air TV service (or is that already available, and I'm just not seeing it?).

Over the air listings are available in many areas. If it's not showing up for you, try sending an email over to support@i.tv. Every email gets answered, so if there are OTA listings available in the zip code you're looking for, we might be able to help you out.

Any chance you'll support remote DVR recording with Elgato's EyeTV? Right now it only works with TitanTV.
