This app is like a Swiss Army Knife of entertainment features. It slices it dices and comes with a 50-year guarantee! (Only kidding about the guarantee.)

I was turned on to it by Merlin Mann. What attracted me was that it could duplicate my TiVo remote control’s functionality (see first image below) as well as let me remotely schedule my TiVo recordings. He didn’t mention that it also could run my Roku box (see second image below).

imageBesides masquerading as a remote control, it shows TV listings and movie information, including theaters and times. You can buy your movie tickets also. Got a Netflix account? You can manage your Netflix queue right from the iTV app. Its got streaming video. Oh yeah, its got social media like Twitter and Facebook covered too.

Did I mention it’s free?
