Multitask With TiVo’s iPad App [TiVo]

iPad owners cradle their iPads while watching TV anyway, so it makes perfect sense for TiVo to make a remote control app for them. Plus, it sort of feels like you may go beyond just remote control functionality to a kind of split-screening.

Here’s the fast feature list:

• Gesture based control – Take complete control of all recordings, even dragging forward and back through a show with an easy tap or swipe
• Start watching what you would like – Launch a recorded show, live TV or streaming video with the swipe of a finger
• Program guide – Browse your full-screen TV program guide without interrupting TV viewing
• Schedule – Schedule one-time recordings and Season Pass recordings from the device at home or on-the-go
• Get more from your shows and flicks – Explore cast and crew and other recommendations of your favorite shows without interrupting the massive screen
• Search – Lookup all your favorite TV shows, movies, actors or directors across both broadcast and broadband from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, and more
• Share comments along with your friends – From throughout the TiVo Premiere App, comment and share your thoughts to Facebook or Twitter in regards to the show you’re currently watching

Doing stuff while not interrupting your TV show sounds pretty amazing-almost like Google TV, but while not having to do picture-in-picture. Searching, scheduling and perusing seems useful in addition. I love the style you’re thinking, TiVo. [ TiVo ]
