Bell's Remote PVR software ensures you won't miss the Canadiens Leafs game, even you're stuck in traffic

When DirectTV started teasing an iPhone app about a year ago our interests were certainly piqued -- and then disappointed when it was revealed it would only allow remote scheduling. When the Android version came along we got our hopes up again for remote streaming of content, but again got them dashed again. Now Rogers is doing the disappointing, launching the charmingly titled "Remote PVR Access from your Bell Smartphone" in Canada just before the Olympics on February 12, though it's unclear right now which smartphones will be covered. It too allows remote scheduling of content and, sadly, not remote viewing. Some day we'll get our wish -- some day.
"Now Rogers is doing the disappointing, launching the charmingly titled 'Remote PVR Access from your Bell Smartphone' "...
what?
roger is not releasing something for a bell phone
that makes no sense
first you leave out a word in the title
then you say something that makes no sense
get an editor.

Hahaha, I was going to say the same thing. That's like Rogers releasing an app for the Pre but not the iPhone... but wait, according to this article, it's exactly what they're probably doing.
@samuelmaskell I'm really confused too. There's no way in hell Rogers would release an application for a Bell phone instead of a Rogers phone. It doesn't really make sense. I'm just going to assume Rogers was put there by mistake, and it really just means that Bell is creating this application for their Bell TV service.
I wonder when Rogers will do the same...
@ALBGunner04
I believe that is the case, Rogers name was put there by mistake.
this thing is completely wrong. because:
1. Bell does let you stream live tv on their phones. and it does work great. You could watch live tv on the 9700, omnia II and I think the n97
2. The app that you are talking about is called remote pvr. If you have bellexpressvu and you have a pvr. you could also change the schedule or record stuff on it by putting the command in your phone. provided your pvr is connected to the internet ofcourse.
