Don’t know have you heard about Kwiry, but it’s a neat service that allows you make Amazon.com wish lists and Netflix queues using nothing but an SMS. Now, the popular service is extending its offering to allow users to control their TiVo by sending a text message to a dedicated phone number.
Sure, if you own a more powerful mobile phone with a data plan, you could use TiVo’s mobile website and do your “DVR thing” that way. Kwiry, on the other hand, will work with just about any mobile phone that can send and receive text messages.
In order to use Kwiry to program your TiVo, you’ll have to link your Kwiry account with TiVo Series 2 or Series 3. Afterwards, all the TiVo programming is handled by sending an appropriate SMS to 59479 (“kwiry”). For instance, text message “tivo the office” should grab the next episode of the popular TV series.
So far the service is free, so there’s no reason not to try it out…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
