Virgin launches TiVo mobile app

Virgin Media has unveiled its new TV Guide smartphone app, enabling customers to browse the TV guide and set recordings from their mobile device.

The app allows users create a list of their favourite channels and view detailed synopses for each programme.

Alex Green, Executive Director of Commercial TV & Online at Virgin Media, said: "We think Virgin Media's TiVo Service is the best way to watch TV and our new mobile app enhances that experience by ensuring you'll never miss recording a programme whilst out and about. Our TiVo service already offers the most flexible and comprehensive recording options and features, which this new service complements."

The Virgin Media TV Guide app is available now from the Android Market Place, and will soon be available on the iPhone via the Apple App Store.

Virgin has also announced the launch of a dedicated Harry Potter app for its TiVo service in celebration of the upcoming release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows—Part 2.

Developed by Virgin Media with content from Warner Bros. Pictures, the app debuts in the Virgin Media TiVo Apps and Games section.
