First of all, thank you all for your patience and support. After the events of a couple of weeks ago when we had to take some unprecedented and drastic measures with our last update, we’re pleased to announce that i.TV is again available on  !

HERE’S WHAT’S NEW

• ‘Watching’ tab: See what other i.TV users are watching on TV right now.
• Facebook and Twitter: Share videos and program info with friends.
• New remote and remote control framework enhancements: Support for multiple TiVo DVRs and new Roku remote control.
• Millions of new video streams
• Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements

The following is a message from i.TV CEO, Brad Pelo regarding the recent release of i.TV 2.1 in the iTunes Store.

To the i.TV community,

Unfortunately, tonight we had to temporarily remove i.TV from the App Store because of a critical system error that surfaced shortly after i.TV 2.1 was made publicly available this evening. For some, the new i.TV update is working perfectly but for others it is not. Because many of you were affected by this defect, we chose to temporarily remove the application from the iTunes Store and will make the app available again soon.

In the past year, we have made significant improvements to our development, software testing and quality control processes. We can assure you that i.TV 2.1 was thoroughly tested over several weeks and the application we submitted to the App Store was our most solid app yet. We are working hard to find the cause of this problem and will keep you updated on progress via Twitter, Facebook and here on the i.TV blog.

We take the relationship with you, our customers, very seriously and we offer our most sincere apologies for those of you who had an unsatisfying experience tonight.

Thank you for your support, patience and for using i.TV.

Warmly,

Brad Pelo

Help us get the word out about i.TV 2.0 on Twitter

i.TV 1.4 now in the iTunes Store (link to press kit) — Comcast menu tab, AT&T U-verse listings, and a faster and more stable i.TV. Thanks for all the great feedback on Facebook and Twitter. Your input helps make each update to i.TV better and better. 

Now, here is what’s new in i.TV 1.4: 

Just for Comcast customers:

AT&T U-verse:

AT&T U-verse Listings: FINALLY! Full AT&T Uverse listings now available for all coverage areas. Thanks to AT&T and our data provider to making these listings available.

Other Features:

i.TV now twice as fast: i.TV startup time has been cut in half. Users are now able to jump between TV and movie listings, as well as dates and times with near instant data retrieval on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Interactive Ads: i.TV introduces the the world’s first “shakeable” ad. This limited release “Shake-down 2 Get Down” campaign from Dockers features Dufon, from the dance expressionist group “Circle of Fire.” When you see the ad pop up, just shake your device to make Dufon dance! This is the first of many fun interactive experiences i.TV users will have with our advertising partners.

This is the fifth update to i.TV and we hope that you’ll note the significant investment we have made to respond to your feedback and improve the app. If you had previously reviewed the app on the iTunes Store and were unhappy, we hope that you’ll take a moment to and resubmit your i.TV review with a more positive rating.

Keep watching!

Justin and the i.TV Team
