TiVo iOS app now supports AirPlay mirroring on Apple TV<article>
<section class="page">
<p>TiVo has turned on AirPlay mirroring support in its iOS app, letting some users watch their DVR content on an Apple TV.</p><p>This is actually the first time TiVo has supported streaming DVR shows to a third-party TV set-top box. Previously, users needed a $150 TiVo Mini to watch their recordings on additional televisions beyond the one where the TiVo is set up. For iPhone owners, Apple TV is
a much cheaper solution at $69.</p><p>Still, TiVo’s reliance on AirPlay mirroring isn’t ideal. With mirroring, the iOS device simply duplicates its display on the big screen. That means users cannot exit the app while watching TiVo recordings, and may want to plug in the iOS device to avoid battery drain. Apple does offer a better method, in which the iOS device
streams the video content to Apple TV in the background, but apparently TiVo isn’t taking advantage of this feature.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2948136/streaming-hardware/tivo-ios-app-now-supports-airplay-mirroring-on-apple-tv.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
