TiVo for BlackBerry now available, remotely schedules recordings with BlackBerry-like efficiency

Don't expect anything out of a science fiction novel like placeshifting -- better look to the gurus at Sling Media for that -- but if you're just looking for a nice, easy way to peruse your channel guide and set up TiVo recordings remotely from the soft glow of your BlackBerry's screen, there's a new option in town. The aptly-named TiVo for BlackBerry app lets you record one-off shows, set up Season Passes, and browse a guide that looks surprisingly similar to the UI you'll find on the TiVo itself. It's available for download now from App World, and rest assured, you don't need to worry about blowing through your carrier's data caps with this one.

I like how they made the interface look like the dvr. Just wish they had an iPhone app.

Ya, where's the WinMobile version :)

Hopefully this won't forget my creds consistently like m.tivo.com does; if so, then it has my hearty approval. Already installed on my Verizon BB 8830.

Can this be used with Direct TV? What email are they asking for???

Finally, some love for BB! I always see these companies making apps for the iPhone, while BB rarely gets the same love. Way to go, TiVo!
