I was interested to know there's an app to control your Tivo since our Cable company use this box, or one with that name anyway.
Can you please tell me the name of the app you use and then tell me what you can and cannot do with the app? This is quite important because we've been discussing access to Tivo quite a lot over here in the UK and I don't think anyone else has found an app to be successful here so far, so I want to be sure to get my facts straight before I say anything. Thanks for any help you can give, on or off list.

I like controlling my TiVo with my iPhone app, and I'm looking forward to getting one of those radio controlled thermostats. Fortunately, I've been able to find a washer and a dryer that have rotating knobs that either have a known starting point, or an arrow on the dial, so I can where it's pointing. I kind of like the idea of a washer and/or dryer that would also notify me when the load is done! I may not pay a lot for it, but I could see where it would be nice to sit upstairs and know whether the load is done without having to run downstairs to check.
