Time To Die

Terrible App, horribly neglected. It’s time to just kill it off.

Schedule recordings remotely

My main need is scheduling games to record when I’m not at home to watch later, and this app does it well.

Streaming doesn’t work

Can’t go through the streaming in home setup. Worked for past 10 years.

Horrible, horrible horrible

One of the worst apps I’ve seen. Doesn’t work half the time, constantly logged me out, does not have the correct guide, does not record shows that I program on it. Useless!!

Used to work

This “free” app used to work, but the TiVo Premiere is out of support. Is paid support required to use it?
