Comcast Mobile 2.0 for iPhone flashes remote DVR scheduling skills on video

The ability to remotely schedule DVR recordings hasn't hit every Comcast system yet (c'mon Ann Arbor) but that hasn't stopped the company from delivering version 2.0 of the Comcast Mobile app on iPhone (Blackberry is "coming soon," no word on webOS, Android or WP7 plans) complete with the aforementioned myDVR manager, an improved TV Guide browser, push notifications for emails and voicemails and more. Comcast Voices blogger Scott McNulty has put together a pretty thorough video demo, embedded after the break (also there for comparison, our video walkthrough of the original release), so give it a look while we doublecheck... again to see if our DVR has gotten a new firmware update, or punch the read link to go straight to the App Store and download.

Slap, Wake Up Time Warner Cable, you continue to be left in the dust.

@iPaul Yes Agreed. Come on TWC, let's pick up the pace here!

As maligned as Comcast often is, they do seem to be keeping up quite well with high-tech features and services. While Cablevision has got similar technology, it is nowhere near as integrated or polished as this.

There seems to be something wrong with the video, I'm getting the blue Lego question mark.

It's sad that you can only show one hour of scheduling at a time due to the low resolution of the iPhone screen =/

Fios/Android has this as well and it looks nicer (imo). Though this looks pretty nice too. Nice to see some competition in this space. These features seem long imagined, now a reality. Quite a good thing if ya ask me.

Dear Tivo,

You know that breakthru event you just had, well Comcast, one of those dinnosaurs from the stone age, just beat you to the app store. Yes I know you have a tivo mobile web page that let's me schedule recordings, but does it look as good as this? Christ, this is Comcast! Your edge is vanishing before your eyes...
