Owners of a BlackBerry can now use a TiVo application on the cellphone in order to set up the recording sessions of content from the TV. This application was released earlier today and its price is zero. In other words, this TiVo for BlackBerry application is free.

Unfortunately the application doesn’t include live streaming, but on the other hand subscribers can easily do a search and find more information related to the shows they want to record. On the technical side, the application must work with TiVo DVR Series 2 or 3, and the mobile device should be using the OS 4.2.0 and have the capability to browse. So, if you’ve got a BlackBerry and a TV show that you can’t miss - don’t want much further and use this fresh app.

To most iPhone and iPod Touch owners, seeing ads is nothing new. But apparently there is something different about this ad from i.TV. i.TV 1.4 includes a dedicated menu tab for Comcast subscribers, the world’s first “shakable” advertisement, AT&T U-verse listings and major performance improvements.

“Along with efforts to make i.TV faster and more stable, i.TV 1.4 includes a special menu tab for Comcast subscribers with information about video-on-demand offerings,” said i.TV CEO, Brad Pelo. “Yes, i.TV is a movie, DVD and TV guide for the iPhone and iPod touch, but it is also a hub where media companies can directly interact with their customers.”

i.TV has also integrated services from companies like TiVo and Netflix in order to connect users with their favorite media providers. With the release of i.TV 1.4, i.TV users now have instant access to Comcast video-on-demand listings.

i.TV is a free download for the iPhone and iPod touch, available exclusively in the US and Canada from the iTunes Store.
