Schedule Your TiVo From Your BlackBerry

Our fellow GigaOMers at jkOnTheRun note this morning that the free TiVo app for BlackBerries is out today.

BlackBerry, meet TiVo. TiVo, say “Hi” to BlackBerry. OK, now that you two are acquainted, let’s remotely get some television recorded, ‘k? Yes, the TiVo for BlackBerry software is ready for downloading from the BlackBerry App World. With the app, you can search for programming by keyword, actor, tile or category and set single episode or full season recordings right from the handset. There’s a definite TiVo “look and feel” to the interface, so there’s no major learning curve involved. We wouldn’t want it to be challenging to set up our precious recordings, now would we? ;)

We’ve mused on what the remote control of the future will look like, and one clear option is for it to just be our phones. Being able to record from afar with a device that’s already in your pocket is a huge plus.
