TiVo support, streaming TV and movie tickets now on i.TV

Welcome to the i.TV blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed, or subscribe to us on Twitter or FriendFeed. Thanks for visiting!

Well, just in time for the holidays, we have an announcement to make.

i.TV 1.2 is now in the App Store and I just wanted to let you know what’s new.

Our developers have been working hard to add new features, to make i.TV more stable, and to implement your suggestions.

Here’s the news:

DVR remote record with TiVo support!
Selection of streaming videos–including full TV episodes, fan videos, and other bonus material (currently, this is a small selection of full episodes but we will be adding content frequently and on a regular basis)
Movie ticket purchasing

In addition to this, we have also made several other feature enhancements and bug fixes:

What’s Hot tab: Get the latest entertainment news, recaps of your favorite shows, gallery images, and featured content.
Upcoming movie listings and trailers
i.TV Wallet: You can now securely store payment options for business transacted via i.TV, such as movie ticket purchases.
Bug fixes and stability improvements

There’s even more than this but these are the highlights. If you would like to find out more, follow this link to info on this announcement in our news room.

All I can say is thank you to all of you for your feedback and suggestions. As you can see, we are listening and working hard to add new features that you have asked for. Please keep the feedback coming and we hope you enjoy!

TiVo remote record doesn't work. I.tv keeps telling me something like "TiVo is unable to match this recording to your channel lineup", even though I have correctly entered Comcast and
my zipcode in the settings.

You need to hire more QA before releasing to the public.

i.tv added Netflix queue managment. but, i was really was looking foward to netflix instant watch. enable that and you really will be the best app. there isn't any iphone/touch app that has netflix instant watch.pay netflix if you have to. it may even be worth users paying for. hopefully user won't because netflix will get more sign ups.

also, i use the (free ish) orb.com to stream anything to my iphone .please intergrade them.

hulu ,fox ,abc nbc, local streams??? come on you gready networks give us free media !!!!!!!

Dave, did you know you can manage your instant viewing queue for Netflix with i.TV? Instant watching though, now isn't that something all of us would love?

Oh, please, please add DirecTV support to this app! I love the app and find it incredibly useful - but without the ability to 'close the loop' by initiating a recording on my DirecTV box, it's like seeing the promised land on the other side of a chasm ... and all you need is the bridge.

This is a great suggestion and we are working to expand our list of DVR integration partners. I can't say exactly what's coming next but as they say in TV circles, "stay tuned."

So, how does the Tivo support work?

Well, first of all you need to have a broadband-enabled TiVo DVR. If you do have a TiVo DVR and it is connected to the internet, all you have to do is link your TiVo account to your i.TV account via our application on the iPhone or iPod touch. If you need any help, try writing our support team. They answer EVERY email.

Alas, the TiVo functionality doesn't work for me. I keep getting an error telling me that the cable provider I have chosen in ITV is different from what I have on my TiVo's, but that's not true. They are the same (Cablevision Systems in Wappingers Falls, NY). What am I missing? Or is this a bug?

Hey - love the app and the Tivo support.

It works sometimes for me, but not for others. My issue is similar to above - the channels are different. One other thing - I see the HD channels listed (like CNNHD) but not the regular channels, and Tivo won't pick up those as recordable. I can record on non-HD channels. (This is for Directv)

One issue for me - I have both cable and satellite. I don't see a way to add both. It does look like I can pick my directv+locals and tivo will schedule the locals through my cable appropriately.

So, last question first (the one about being able to use two TV providers). This has been requested by others as well and is on our radar. It's a good suggestion.

As for the TiVo problems you're having, please feel free to contact our support team and they will help you out.

So what shows are included in the small selection with full episodes? I am unable to locate them. It would be nice if there were a way to make them easier to find. Great app. Looking forward to further development.

I second that. It'd be really handy to find those quickly when one has children to amuse in the back seat of the car. (Only one I've found so far is Deal or No Deal.)

Good suggestion. We're working on a solution for that right now, actually. I don't have an exact timeline on when it will be available though.

You guys rock!!!!

Have you had a chance to talk to Directv yet about remote recording for their DVR?

Awesome software. I'll bet even Apple hadn't thought about the extended usefulness of their new mobile platform until you and other forward thinking developers jumped outside the box to develop apps like this.

Since you have streaming ... and you have netflix instant queue management ... is Netflix wifi streaming to iPhone on the horizon ?
Since you have Tivo scheduling available now - any work being done with DirecTV to offer remote sceduling of their DVR's ... or their upcoming update of the DirecTivoHD ? Would that be too MUCH to ask for : )

Thanks for all the hard word and please ... (keep it up)

Thanks for writing and excellent questions. I can't exactly say what will come next but as a rule of thumb here at i.TV, if you can imagine it...we're probably working on it.

When we added Netflix to our app in November, we gave everyone a heads up that it was the first in a series of third party integrations and that there would be more to come. Well, TiVo and MovieTickets.com are an example of these integrations and like I said...there are more to come.

Yawn. Really! The app crashes alot still. All the ads make it slow and almost useless. I'm happier with other apps like What's On TV? or TV Forcast.

I just re-deleted i.tv. No thanks.

Hey "Name",

Bummer you gave up so quick on things. It's a great app and one with as much functionality as this one will have some hiccups along the way. But for what it is, it is awesome. I can't wait to see what else they do with it. Maybe synchronize it with your own LCD tv to use as a remote.

someone's getting coal in their stocking this week. :) Not everyone will like the same app for different reasons. I see i.TV as further realization of the iPhone potential. I just with my iPhone had a larger screen now - and infrared out.
