TiVo and Verizon Wireless announced the availability of TiVo Mobile scheduling, a downloadable application, available exclusively through Verizon Wireless, that allows subscribers to schedule recordings on their TiVo Series2 or Series3 TiVo boxes through select Verizon Wireless handsets. While away from the living room, users can conveniently schedule a recording - all they need is a Verizon Get It Now-enabled phone and a monthly subscription.

"TiVo continues to transform and revolutionize the way people control and watch television," said Jim Denney, vice president of product marketing at TiVo. "TiVo Mobile scheduling gives Verizon Wireless customers unprecedented control of their television experience and provides that control wherever they are."

TiVo Mobile scheduling uses the TiVo interface to allow subscribers to easily search for and browse through listings to find shows that they want to record. Subscribers to the TiVo Mobile scheduling service will also have access to premium entertainment content that is updated daily, including a customizable channel line-up, the most popular and most recorded shows and a current list of recommendations from TiVo.

Ryan Hughes, vice president of digital media for Verizon said: "TiVo built its reputation by making television relevant to its customers, while Verizon Wireless built and maintains the nation's most reliable wireless network. This innovative service adds a new layer of relevance and immediacy, so even when they're thousands of miles away from their televisions, TiVo subscribers can program their favorite shows."

TiVo Mobile scheduling was developed by Action Engine Corporation, a Seattle-based mobile software provider. TiVo Mobile scheduling is available for a $1.99 monthly access on select Get It Now-enabled phones, including the Samsung SCH-a950, Chocolate by LG and LG VX8300.
