TiVo Mobile scheduling allows subscribers to purchase the mobile service through select Verizon Wireless handsets and schedule recordings on their Series2™ or Series3™ TiVo boxes. TiVo and Verizon Wireless bring consumers the convenience of scheduling television recordings while away from the living room. Whether you are away from home or discussing TV at the water cooler, all that is needed is a select Verizon Wireless Get It Now®-enabled handset to schedule recordings on your TiVo box."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/4.9.25.lg.jpg" /> <br /><br />Looks like a neat addition to the TiVo service, but...two bucks? As if TiVo and Verizon aren't fleecing customers enough already. Thanks, but I'd rather use a Pocket PC or Smartphone and a Slingbox. That way not only can I schedule recordings on the go, but I can watch them as well.
