i.TV redefines the universal remote control

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!

i.TV 2.0 available soon with integrated remote control from TiVo

We are happy to announce the i.TV Remote Control Framework and the coming launch of i.TV 2.0 in the iTunes Store. (i.TV 2.0 is currently under review by Apple and will be available soon.)

Remote Control: i.TV now brings together the TV guide and the remote control on your iPhone or iPod touch. The i.TV Remote Control Framework enables third parties to develop remote controls for televisions, DVRs, IR blasters and other home entertainment devices.

TiVo remote: TiVo is the first* to introduce a remote control for the i.TV platform. You can now change the channel, fast forward, record and most importantly play your favorite shows and movies with just a tap on your iPhone or iPod touch.

*While TiVo is the first to introduce a remote control on i.TV, more remote control integrations are in development and will be announced in the coming months.

Also new in i.TV 2.0

New look: i.TV now has a simplified and remote-like user interface.

iTunes: From within i.TV, discover relevant TV, movie, music, podcast and audiobook content and then tap to download from iTunes.

Push notifications: Set pop up alerts to remind you when your favorite TV shows air. Never miss a show again.

This is a great new design and UI. I think everything will be an amzing improvement. I love the original I. Tv and it makes my viewing of television easy. And now with the new remote it will be super easy to navigate the channels!!!

Great feature, but does not support Tivo 2, only Tivo HD. Bummer for me.

Doesn't seem to work very well for me. I have more than one TiVo HD on my network and there doesn't seem to be a way to choose which one I want to control. Please let me know how to switch between tivos!!

Currently the app doesn't support controlling multiple TiVo HD DVRs but it will within the next month or so. That functionality is coming with the next update.

I have multiple HD tivos. I can't select which TiVo to control

I would like to also see an option which disables the iPhone from sleeping when I have the remote open.

I think that disabling the iPhone from sleeping when you have the remote open is a good suggestion. I'll check with the developers and see if that's doable.
