Features
- Classic design works just like you'd expect!
- Rotate the device for a full QWERTY Keyboard (not all DVR text entry screens support keyboard entry. Make sure your device does not have the rotation lock engaged.)
- Automatic DVR discovery using Bonjour or manual connection using IP and port.
- "Premiere" mode for the latest hardware which uses different remote codes for the keyboard that (should) improve keyboard support on those DVR models.
Note that some functions, such as TV power and volume cannot be controlled by Peanut. These functions are actually for your television and not the TiVo itself. There is no software mechanism in the DVR for retransmitting these commands from the DVR to your TV or other devices. While it might be possible to do this with an add-on bit of hardware or iOS accessory, it is not possible with the stock hardware at this time.
TiVo Series 3 or Later required. (Does not work on 1st or 2nd Generation DVRs.)
Please enable the "Network Remote Control" feature on your TiVo, and make sure both the TiVo and your iOS device are on the same network. Then use the "Info" button to search your network for DVRs broadcasting for remote control. (The "i" button in the upper right of Peanut's remote control takes you to the app's settings)
If you have any problems, please contact the support email address.

Works great!

Pretty dummy proof to setup and super easy to use. I would buy the paid app but that one doesn't seem to work.

You can play/pause but there is a few second delay... Makea fast forwarding comercials difficult
Excellent with two comments

This works great and does exactly what it says. Two things I'd like to improve it: 1. If the device goes to sleep it take a few seconds to reconnect. It does it automatically so it's not too bad. They also have an option to turn off auto lock, but I wish it would stay connected even asleep. Maybe not possible. 2. More importantly, I don't like having to scroll up and down to get to buttons on the remote. I'd love a condensed layout all on one screen. Even better would be a customizable layout! Overall a fantastic app - especially free. If these two comments were addressed in the pay version I'd immediately upgrade.
Good but not great

My only complaint is the keyboard letters could be more user friendly (larger for fat fingers). You could just use the default ipod keyboard. I would like the option to use the keyboard in the vertical position.
