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…
