"FiOS TV Remote DVR" app on Sprint TP2?

NYC Guy · #1 (**permalink**) 02-15-2010, 11:54 PM

I recently had FIOS installed at my home. They have a mobile app called "FiOS TV Remote DVR" for some of their phones that allows you to remotely program your home DVR. Has anyone been successful in using this app on the Sprint TP2?

Bump.

Is there any Sprint user out there with FIOS service that has a hack for this "FiOS TV Remote DVR" app that they are loading on their Droid phone?

I think it's also available on the Verizon HTC Imagio (Windows Mobile based), I would hope that it wouldn't be too difficult to rip for the TP2? Let's hope!

The program is available now for the TP2, it just can't be connected yet. It's listed on my FIOS box as Coming Soon.

It's been ripped, but still won't work on the TP2. I keep getting an error while trying to set it up. Worked fine on my Droid.
TP2 is listed as coming soon. (DOH!)

I got it going on my Verizon TP2. I couldn't enable the TP2 on my set top box (It said "coming soon" as others have noted) but I was able to connect selecting Imagio on the box. It really doesn't do all that much, and has at least one annoying bug, so I haven't really used it.

Not sure if more functionality will come when the TP2 is enabled for the box. I can't imagine that would be the case, since the Imagio and TP2 are both Windows.

If they are listing it for Big Red's TP2 do you think it will be difficult to run the the Sprint version?

My neighbor has the Moto Droid and he says the app works fine without any issues. What was the bug?

I use the FiOS mobile website to schedule the dvr on my sprint tp2. Here's a cool hack I haven't seen reported anywhere...you can download the remote control app by selecting the imagio. Verizon sends a link and then you can download for rhodium there, even though this hasn't been announced! I have an incredibly responsive wifi remote control on my Sprint tp2! It seems faster than the IR remote, actually. Try it FiOS users, it's really cool!
