Heading out to holiday dinners, get-away vacations, or just being away from home no longer means missing out on your favorite television programming. That’s because TiVo launched TiVo Mobile, a free mobile phone-optimized Web site that allows subscribers and non-subscribers alike to browse, search, and discover television shows, regardless of mobile platform, carrier or browser. TiVo subscribers have the option to schedule recordings on their Series2 or Series3 TiVo boxes directly through the site, bringing a new level of ease to recording TV.

The new mobile site, located at m.tivo.com, lets television fans stay in touch with their TiVo DVR when they are away from the living room, giving them the power to schedule recordings directly to their TiVo box from their mobile phone. Site visitors can also search for programs by actor, title, director, and keyword, with additional functions including Daily Recommendations and Most Popular.

M.tivo.com is in beta and will be available on a wide scale within a few weeks.
