i. TV Offers TV Schedules and Trailers

this is a cool app.

"Upcoming features include the ability to watch TV, remotely manage your DVR, manage DVD rentals and buy movie tickets."

wow, that is ambitious. Hope they are able to do it.

if they can manage to get Tivo scheduling I will pay plenty for this. ever tried using tivos website from your phone to schedule a recording? total pain.

If it's just Tivo management that they're going to do, it would make sense -- though be disappointing for me (I just use a DVR from my cable provider).

Although it's interesting they say "remotely manage your DVR" instead of "remotely manage your Tivo," implying that it's possibly more than just Tivo. Not sure how they would ever make that possible, but I'm crossing my fingers...

Yea, I found it interesting that they said "remotely manage your DVR" instead of saying "TiVO" as well...hmmm..

I currently use an HD DVR from Comcast, and am not aware of the ability to remotely manage it at all...unless...there is and just don't know about it, heh.

I hope by DVR they include ReplayTV. There are still a ton of us users out there, and the coding of the scheduling interface is pretty open and easy.

Except you don't have to pay anything?

So I downloaded this yesterday using arn's fabulous appshopper.com to find it as soon as it dropped. I love that site. Anyhow, I haven't used this app a whole lot yet, but so far I like it better than What's On. Though I'm not sure if it's a replacement yet for a movie app.

I especially love the photo preview on each channel.

But in order for tivo to allow them to control their dvrs in the future, they might require them to pay...which means we might have to pay for the app...and I am saying that I will pay...i don't know, maybe $10. I'd actually pay a lot more, but I don't want to give them any ideas.

I know U-verse has web management of your DVR. Its a pain from the web, but If they could tie that service into this app, that would be great!

I have a Time Warner Cable DVR, which does not (to my knowledge) have web management. So I can't see how this app could realistically work for ALL DVR's. But hey, I remain optimistic...

Direct TV

Direct TV has web management; DVR Scheduler.
I have Direct TV and I am able to manage all three of my DVR's through their website. It's even designed for mobile users, and they have an iPhone web icon for when bookmarking it on home screen. It's rather simple, text-based but simple and searchable.
On Demand, Pay Per View, and scheduled TV. /end ad

this seems like a nice app. and it's free! so i guess i'll have to check it out

DirecTV's DVR Scheduler is a fantastic little webapp.

i.tv forever... tvguide.com never!

this app has and promises to soon roll out more cool "bonus" features. but i'm finally glad to just get simple tv listings. trying to use tvguide.com on the iphone is horrible, both on the full site and their useless mobile version. i was actually going to write them an email about how crappy their mobile site is and to get their ***** together. but now thanks to i.tv i can use my time more productively... by watching more tv!

great app!!

this needs to be made into a widget for os x

I don't think this app even has U-Verse listings yet... at least not in my area.

Hey, how do you get the adult content to show up. It's not working for me.

Great program a few suggestions though

1. Widescreen mode (DVR like) support
2. Flicking gesture to advance to the next half hour (while in widescreen mode), etc.
3. More than 1/2 hour of programming on one screen
4. Ability to set reminders when your favorite show is on

This program has a promising future. App store needs more useful utilities like these. One of the BEST free apps out there, was shocked considering it could have easily been charged $4.99 or more.

anyone know if there is a UK one of these ??

It certainly has the most annoying name. The sentence appears to end whenever you mention it.

I use DTV's app as well, but I think it has a lot of room for improvement. Not enough info presented with search results and i find myself trying many links before i find my channel.

I have U-verse, and while remote programming is a great feature, a few simple improvements (which could be added to i.TV) would help imho. In my case, I prefer to record the HD version of my favorite shows, but since they are generally the channel number plus 1000, they don't show up without scrolling through several pages of offerings. A simple option to search HD first would be great.

Little app that does great things!

cool, checking it out right now

While it seems there is a UK specific app....











I wonder where on earth it is available...
