Hey guys, this is Ed from Quebec, Canada. Ever since I heard about Orb releasing their Add-Ons API I had a dream. Dream to access all my TiVo recorded shows off my Series 2 with TiVoToGo from anywhere, any device, anytime. This dream came through with Orb! I can watch and schedule my TiVo shows from my cellphone, from my desktop in my office or from anywhere I want in the World!!! We reviewed Orb in MAKE Volume 02 (and really liked it). [via] Link.
