Shaw PVR/Gateway app in the works?

[Vinny01]

Wih Shaw coming out and saying they are not going to enter the cell phone market I asked about them creating an iphone app that will allow Shaw users to record from their smartphone. They told me "it is in the works". It was one of the factors that had me contemplating switching to Telus. I ended up staying with Shaw and got the gateway system. I like it quite a bit and we get a better package for less money that i was paying before. I was just wondering if anyone else had heard about this?

I know I would love to be able to start recording a Flames game if I am going to work late or not make it home in time.

I believe there is a Shaw software dev on this board who has indicated that something like this is in the works, if he would like to confirm or provide more details.

Yep. That's all I can say

We have plans for something really awesome.

Great post. All those features are awesome and would make Shaw one of the leaders in the industry.

I'm hoping.....and maybe incorrectly, for a slingbox feature so I can stream to my ipad when i'm on the road. Now that would be an amazing app.

Uhh, isnt there already a Slingbox app that does that?

edit: Nm, I am guessing you want to stream Shaw content to your ipad, without a slingbox. No caffeine for me yet today.
