## Description

**TVO Remote** makes controlling TiVo from iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch fast and effortless. It automatically discovers TiVo devices on your home network and includes a complete TiVo keyboard with all special characters, making logins and text input quick and reliable.

**Key features** include an Apple Watch app for wrist-based control, iPad Split View support to keep the remote on screen while using other apps, and an ad-free, fully unlocked experience. It supports telnet and RPC communications (RPC available for Series 4+), lets you view the status of TiVo devices in your home, and provides built-in keyboard navigation controls to simplify navigation and text entry.

## Review summary

Users report that TVO can discover TiVo devices on the network and let you control them from iPhone/Apple Watch, including basic navigation and playback. However, repeated issues—needing a real remote to set up, missing power/volume controls, unreliable connections, compatibility problems with Mini/newer devices, and weak support/value—make it inconsistent and often not worth the price.

### Pros

- Auto network discovery finds TiVo devices (including a Mini in some cases) and lists them by IP with simple renaming.
- Remote control works from iPhone and Apple Watch, including pause/rewind/skip, enabling use from another room.
- Buttons respond quickly on supported TiVo models (e.g., Roamio OTA) when setup is successful.
- Works across multiple TiVo models and can control devices remotely when integration succeeds.

### Cons

- Requires a physical TiVo remote to set up, a setup hurdle not clearly communicated upfront.
- No power on/off or volume controls; cannot fully replace a remote.
- Unreliable connectivity: won’t connect, cannot auto-find, requires IP entry, and can crash or become unusable.
- Inconsistent compatibility with TiVo Mini and newer TiVo streaming devices.
- Poor value and support: reports of crashes, nonfunctional support pages, and calls for refunds.
