Recording your favorite show is just a cellphone message away.

If you haven't caught the TiVo bug, what are you waiting for? The ability to pause live TV, record a season's worth of your favorite TV show, skip over commercials and one button searches for actors-movies/shows-content you're looking for makes life too easy. Of course THE standard bearer for DVR's is Tivo.

Well now they've made recording on your TiVo even easier.
Yesterday TiVo announced a partnership with Verizon Wireless to let Verizon customers access their TiVos from Sprint phones. Starting this summer, Verizon customers will be able to download an appllication that will let them set up recordings on their TiVos at home, no matter where they are. There is no such thing as a free lunch, so it'll cost Verizon customers about $5 a month for the service.

Imagine if you will, you hear (or get a text message from your favorite channel) that some show or movie you want to see is going to be on tonight and you (because of your very busy professional schedule of course) won't be there to see it. You flip open your phone, send a message to your Tivo to record and when you get home the show is there for you too watch. Ain't technology great?!
