TiVo Android App Updated… Without Stream Support

TiVo has just refreshed its line of Android apps, with the highlight being Jellybean (4.2) support. Unfortunately, TiVo Stream capabilities remain MIA… despite Android representing greater than 50% of US smartphones and presumably frustrated MSO partners.

The complete rundown:

  • Additional Away Mode functionality so that users can manage their Season Passes and ToDo Lists while on the go!
  • The new TiVo tablet Browse experience
  • Support for Jelly Bean (Android 4.2)
  • General Bug Fixing

Meanwhile, we expect TiVo’s iPhone and iPad app to receive an update in the near future that further expands upon that “Browse experience” with “What to Watch” — However, we also anticipate TiVo app development will slow given the company they outsource the work to has been acquired by PayPal.
