Companion App for iPad lets users interact with Virgin Media: TiVo service with new ways.
The new feature will be available and usable as part of the first major software update for the system and is designed to build on the user experience of the award-winning service. The update will be rolled out by Virgin Media to the TiVo service customers in the UK over the coming months.
Customers will be able to use their Apple iPads to interact directly with their TiVo service and extend their viewing experience beyond the remote control. Using the free app, viewers can interact with the TiVo interface directly on the iPad and also search across Virgin Media's content including the TV Guide and thousands of hours of content available through its video on demand library.
Using the App for browsing content will not interfere with the video on the television at the time. Using just a couple of swipes, the viewer can begin viewing content on their TV that they discovered with their Companion App.
