Text Your TiVo With Kwiry

This one's for Jesse James, whose television woes are totally internet famous. TiVo has offered remote-programming features via its web site and with TiVo Mobile for smartphones, but what about the rest of you poor suckers who use a plain old regular mobile phone?

Text messaging wunderkind Kwiry, which already does wonders with Amazon and Netflix, now features basic TiVo controls: link your Series 2 or Series 3 TiVo with a Kwiry account, and you aught to be able to control your TiVo by texting "KWIRY" (59479) plus the name of the show you'd like to watch. The Kwiry service should then automate the recording - so texting "59479 battlestar galactica" should set you up for recording tonight's premiere episode.

Speaking of which, I better go double-check my TiVo.
