Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years and 4 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

New TiVo Mobile web site allows TV fans to browse, search, discover, and record television shows on the go, adding another great value to the already invaluable TiVo service

Announced by TiVo this morning (and picked up by most of the gadget blogs I read), you can now schedule recordings and browse TV listings from your mobile device. Yes, you could do this before by accessing TiVo Central Online from your browser-enabled phone, but it was clunky and not easy to navigate. I was able to use it a few times from my Treo to schedule a recording in a pinch, but it wasn’t my first choice.

Available in beta form today, simply point your mobile browser to m.tivo.com (it may or may not work for you, based on my experience and its beta status). Once I got the page to load, I was able to login with my TCO credentials and see my list of TiVos:

Then I was able to search for a show:

And schedule a recording:

I ran into a few problems while trying out the new site. For example I had to sign in again after selecting “Record this episode,” Blazer (the Treo browser) kept complaining about an invalid security certificate, and my attempt to schedule a recording actually failed saying the show did not appear in my DVR’s guide data. But hey, it’s still beta, right?

Anyway, TiVo Mobile seems to have all the same functionality as TCO packaged in a nice-looking, usable mobile format, finally! Thanks, TiVo!
