TiVo Mobile

If you’re one of those people who always forgets to program their TiVo before heading out, you’re in luck. The company is expected to announce today that it has reached an agreement with Verizon Wireless to expand TiVo’s digital video recording capabilities to cell phones. Through the new service, called TiVo Mobile, users can program TV recordings straight from cell phones for the first time. TiVo Mobile is specifically designed to work on cell phones, making the on-the-go scheduling process easier and faster. This is the latest feature introduced by the California-based company in its efforts to set itself apart from the growing number of rival DVR offerings from cable and satellite TV operators. Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. Starting in the early summer, Verizon subscribers will be able to access TiVo Mobile through the "Get It Now" service menu. Verizon's pricing for the service will be announced then.
