I cant speak for him, but I am blown away by how good it works on mine. I find about every 5 minutes it needs to "optimize" for about 30 seconds (it doesn't do it while recording), but beyond that it works shockingly well.

Looks good. Easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. I don't use Video on Demand though so I won't get much use out of it.

It'd be cool to see a trailer or some clips within the app. Watching what you've purchased on your phone would be great if you're on the road.

Obviously controlling your PVR has to come soon to make it useable for the majority of people who use iPhones.

This has nothing to do with the app, but $7.99 for an HD rental is ridiculous.

I enjoy the 5 star review titled "SWEEEET" by Tyler the shaw guy.

edit: Hey there's a wishlist. I hope the guys from Netflix don't see that ... cause you know ... it's impossible.

$7.99 for an HD rental??? Who makes these decisions?

Is the point of the SHAW VOD app just so you can see the listings of what's on? I'm not sure what the point is if I can't watch on the phone. It would be great to access kids programs for the kids while out at a restaurant or something.

It's for browsing and ordering VOD content.

I beg of you guys, if you want to have things added, send us feedback from within the app.

Done.

What's the text file it attaches to the email when you submit feedback?

It's a capture of the application logs. It helps us figure out what the user did before they had a problem.

Gotcha. I accidentally deleted it. I won't send it again as I didn't have any problems.

No problem, thanks for the feedback. The more people we have asking for those extended feature sets, the more weight we can bring to pushing those to the top of the list of priorities. It helps convince others that these are things we need to bring to the app. Because believe me, we know we need it, but we can't do much on the client without services to call in to.

Ordering VOD content on your ios device? Or ordering content to your shaw box?

Sorry, I'm at work and don't have access to my itunes or the itunes store right now to check.

About the only thing I'd like to see in a shaw app (to the point I'm considering switching tv providers) is the ability to program my PVR. I'll be sure to download this and enter the feedback when I get home.

This.

I'd love to be able to enter my PVR serial number and Shaw info into an APP that gives me the ability to have access to the guide, and set my PVR.

I can't remember the last time I used Shaw on Demand.

Art Vandelay · 03-15-2011, 08:11 PM

I wish Shaw would make an app like Time Warner did.

Please tell us via feedback

I know it's a pain to do so, but some people only respond to "customer complaints"

And all money goes to help the earthquake victims. I just bought it, not sure how it will work on the touch but we will see.

Likely works on the iPod Touch via WiFi data connection. I wouldn't worry about the streaming audio, it's probably 64kbps at most, so pretty low quality/bit rate.

There was another update for the Classic Angry Birds yesterday.
