TiVo brings its mobile apps to cable providers, TiVo hardware not required

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/tivo-ipad-app.jpgTiVo’s mobile apps have so far been limited to those who use the company’s DVRs, but that audience is about to get much larger. The company has just launched a “powered by TiVo” program that will bring the apps’ Live Guide and content searching to cable TV providers, whether or not there’s a TiVo box attached. While those with generic hardware will miss a large chunk of the original experience, the features are the same underneath – recording and remote control are still around for the TiVo faithful. Atlantic Broadband will be the first to deploy a customized app in tandem with TiVo hardware in the fall, and we wouldn’t be surprised if others follow suit.
