TiVo Updates iOS App To Support iPhone 5

TiVo’s fine iOS app has just been updated to version 2.1, bringing support to the new resolution Apple introduced with the iPhone 5. While I generally find content weirdly elongated on the 16×9 display, widescreen television video is a perfect fit – and those with the TiVo Stream are the prime beneficiaries. Having said that, all TiVo Premiere subscribers can make use of the additional screen real estate when perusing the guide or reordering Season Passes. 

Update details:

  • iPhone 5 Support is here!
  • TiVo Stream connectivity improvements
  • Fixed rotation issues introduced by iOS6
  • General Bug Fixes

  • It needs a little more work. I get odd lines now while streaming or while watching something that has been downloaded.

  • Definitely weren't there before. After the update they appeared.

    They're like transcoding 'smears'. Take a look at, say, FoxNews or CNN where there's text scrolling along the bottom. It's like some lines end up repeating so you'll get the text scrolling and then, just under it, another line or two of the last two lines of the text scrolling.

    It also happens on other scenes where there's a bit of action. People talking, instead of being clear, as before, will end up with double-lips or double-eyes. That kind of thing.

    • Wasn't able to replicate on my wife's iPhone 5 after several minutes watching ESPN, CNN, and FOX News tickers. What device you seeing this on?
