TiVo and Verizon Wireless have partnered to allow TiVo subscribers to schedule show recordings via mobile phones, reports MediaWeek. The new service, TiVo Mobile, is a downloadable application available to Verizon subscribers through the company's "Get It Now" content applications. The exclusive deal will take effect this summer, backed by a joint marketing campaign.

The deal is the second arrangement that will provide users the ability to program their TiVo DVRs to record shows while they are not at home. In November, TiVo partnered with Yahoo to allow subscribers to program their devices on the internet.
