An update to i.TV was just released in the iTunes App Store and we think you’re gonna like it!

Here’s what is new with this update:

NETFLIXi.TV and Netflix

  • Search results now include over 100,000 DVD titles from Netflix, in addition to TV programs, in-theater movies and detailed show information and cast lists.
  • Discover Netflix DVD titles by tapping the ‘Watch’ button from any TV or movie details screen.
  • Easily reorder or delete items in your Netflix queue from within the My Media tab.
  • Add movies and TV episodes to your Netflix instant watching queue, allowing you to instantly stream content to your Windows PC, Xbox 360, Roku box, TiVo® Series3, TiVo HD, or TiVo HD XL digital video recorders and select Blu-Ray players. (Mac support by end of 2008).
Also new in this release: WIKIPEDIA
  • Wikipedia articles now linked to most show, movie and actor screens.
Some of you are already spending hours flicking through celebrity and show info. Well, now you have an excuse to spend EVEN MORE time!

In addition to these new features, we have been hard at working making other improvements.

TV Listings Improvements:
  • Many new TV service providers added
  • Over The Air digital sub channels now available
  • Indicator when a show is NEW
  • Display option to show only NEW programming

Movie and Theater Improvements:

  • Movies can be displayed alphabetically, by star rating, by content rating, and now by location.
  • Use device location services to find movies and theaters near your current location.
  • Movie and theater data is now separate from TV listing data, allowing you to specify a different location for your theater and movie listings.
  • Trailer quality improvements

Misc. Improvements:

  • Reviews now easier to navigate
  • Simplified account creation
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements

Thank you again for all of your support and feedback. We plan to release a bunch of new features next month as well, so keep watching…
