About RCX for TiVo (free)
Tired after a long day at work and want to relax on the couch while watching your favorite shows but can't find your TiVo® remote? Grab your phone, you've got it with you anyway. Problem solved!
Product Features
- Control your TiVo Series3™ (or greater) with your Android phone or tablet!
- Search for your favorite shows using the on-screen soft keyboard, hardware keyboard or even a USB keyboard if your device supports it.
- Keep your eyes on the show your watching with the new "Watch TV" trackpad.
- Simple design, easy to use
Suggestions and feedback are always welcome!
Quick Start
This quick start quide assumes your TiVo(R) is connected to your home network. This means you need a network cable or wireless TiVo adapter connected to your TiVo and configured properly. Please see your TiVo documentation for more information.
1) Connect to Wi-Fi
The device running RCX must be connected to the same network as the TiVo®. Typically this means the device must be connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
2) Enable "Network Remote Control"
Enable the "Network Remote Control" setting on the TiVo. Do this by navigating the TiVo menu to "Settings & MessagesSettingsRemote, Cable Card & DevicesNetwork Remote Control".
3) Add the TiVo network IP address to RCX
Your TiVo network address must be added to RCX. To find the TiVo network IP address navigate the TiVo menu to "Settings & MessagesSettingsNetwork & Phone". The TiVo network IP address should be displayed. Tap the "gear" icon in RCX, choose "TiVo DVRs" then tap the "Add TiVo" button and enter the information requested. Alternatively you can choose "TiVo DVRs" and use the "Scan" button to try to automatically identify your TiVo's IP address.
Notes
- The TiVo web site accessed from the RCX menu can be changed in the options. This is particularly useful if you live outside the US.
- TV volume and input cannot be controlled by the TiVo itself and this app can't do it either. The TiVo remote uses infrared which nearly all android devices lack.

Found my virgin media tivo immediately and works flawlessly. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 as there's no volume control but for a free app it can't be beaten. Excellent, well done developer!

Fantastic! An excellent substitute for my broken TiVo remote. The "Trackpad" is great for operating TiVo playback without looking at your Android, once you figure out to swipe up/down/left/right for play/slow/rewind/fast-forward, and tap for pause/play.

Great remote. Only wish I could change the defaults so that the remote shows at startup instead of the weird new trackpad.

You have to manually enter the IP address. You select the TV remote from the right upper drop down and it works perfectly

The options and remotes are very slick and you don't have to do up and down to get to other half of remote which is an annoying option on default tivo app. Loving it so far, and the connection was a breeze.

Wouldn't find my Premiere. Won't connect when I manually enter the IP address. Who the bleep knows their tivo's port number. The suggested one didn't work. No information about connection problems.

I'm using it with a Tivo Roamio. Found my ip address through the settings menu and entered it manually. I get my channels using an antenna. I didn't see a "dash" button on the "remote" so I cannot enter a specific channel, ie; "3-1".I have to enter the 3 the go up one to get to the 3-1 channel. It works and does the job!

How do I turn off my TiVo box with this app? Also I can't find the stop button only the pause, otherwise it works well.

Volume setting for app functions would be ideal as dont like just silent or vibrate and it is quite loud but otherwise great. I use the virgin tivo and was working within 10 seconds just like the real one. Not relying on line of sight is great and outside some app cosmetic work can't fault it. As it's free well worth having.

This app is a pile of junk. It doesn't work. It's just a cheap looking remote that has no function. The reviewers below probably work for the developers. This is pure junk. Does not work on Tivo and time wasting developers should be fined and banned. I tried on four separate boxes. None worked, because it was never intended to work. Con artists!

Pointless for me without a widget!
