A user by the name of Duckfin at the TiVo Community Forum has created a native application that turns your iPhone into a TiVo remote. The app, named TiVoRemote, utilizes the TiVo's Telnet control feature to give you complete control of your TiVo right from your iPhone.

The app is free and easy to install. Just add http://tivoremote.googlecode.com/svn/www/repo.xml as a source to Installer.app, and locate TiVoRemote in the "Toys" category.

I have downloaded this app to give it a try, however it does not work. Im assuming you need wi-fi but there is no direction, no help files, nothing. I cant even find a webpage that give some insight as to how to connect it.

There's some directions on the link http://gizmodo.com/388754/iphone--ip...t-control-easy

Looks like it only works for Series 3 or HD TiVos.

There's more information in the forums http://tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/sho...=392385&page=4
I don't see much else on http://code.google.com/p/tivoremote/

Personally, I love my solution. I have a Series 1 TiVo with the TiVoWebPlus project loaded on it. The TiVo then runs a simple webserver which allows you to browse your TiVo from any webbrowser (iPhone included) from within the house.

I think this is the coolest app ever. I have been waiting for someone like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the developer.
