TiVo and Verizon officially launched their new partnership today, allowing Verizon Wireless customers to schedule TiVo recordings directly from their cell phone.Verizon's not the only company offering such services, but this is good news for TiVo customers. Well, those that are frequently in the position where they want to schedule a TV recording from their phone. Given that you can already schedule recordings through TiVo's web site or through Yahoo! TV listings, I can't imagine the phone urge arises too often.
The service which will cost you $1.99 a month, will work with TiVo Series2 or Series3 boxes. On the phone side, you'll need a "Get It Now" capable phone, including the Samsung SCH-a950, LG Chocolate, and LG VX8300.

This should REALLY be free. (or at least just use minutes like other mobile web features)

It doesn't actually work...you can get as far as confirming a recording and it throws errors.
