Overview of Mackworth cTiVo for macOS

cTiVo provides complete hands-off operation: everything else is automated once you choose or subscribe to your shows. For example, after you've set it up, you will find all your favorite shows from your TiVos loaded onto your iPhone or iPad every morning. And although using cTiVo is very easy, you have complete control over what it does.
