As I have written about numerous times already I have recently upgraded to an iPhone. My sister also kindly lent me her old tivo since they didn’t require it anymore. Well, tonight I combined the two.
In case you dodnt know, you can log into the TiVo using a web browser on your computer, and perform various tasks from setting up a manual recording to administrative functions. Out of curiosity I typed in the web URL on my iphone while connected to the wireless at home, and boomski I was in. The display on the phone was even quite good, although I had to zoom in so I could click on the appropriate links. Because it’s using safari turning the phone on the side changes the display, which helps with any scrolling issues although I didn’t encounter many.
So what is the point I hear you ask? Why, I can be even lazier than before! If I see an ad during one of the programs we have recorded and it’s something I want to watch, provided my phone is within reach I can connect to the tivo and set up the recording without stopping the current show. Bonus points if mat is watching tv cause it means I don’t frustrate him by pausing to set up the program.
But most importantly I don’t have to get up and use the computer. Being lazy is always awesome.
