Simple.TV Introduces Windows Phone 8 Support

I’ve never heard of Simple.TV but it’s now available for Windows Phone 8 devices but apparently it let’s you watch live TV, schedule recordings and browse upcoming shows and movies right from your phone or tablet. They’re calling it a whole planet DVR and it does require the hardware to work. I checked out their site and it kind of reminds me of Aero…

WHO:  Simple.TV, creators of the first whole-planet DVR, are on a mission to reinvent the TV experience for today’s connected, mobile, and multi-screen society. Simple.TV has built a passionate team of hardware, software and web experts who are leveraging the power of the cloud and connected devices to bring live and recorded HDTV to consumers everywhere.

WHAT: Introduced a free app supporting Windows Phone 8 and 8.1, giving users the ability to access their whole-planet DVR. Users can watch live TV, schedule recordings of their favorite TV shows and browse upcoming shows and movies to find new content. With a 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi connection, users will never have to wait to watch their favorite shows.

Simple.TV is the ideal companion for cord-cutters who want to save money on expensive cable subscriptions, but don’t want to miss live TV for sports and network programming. Simple.TV users can enjoy all the benefits of an easy-to-use DVR complete with a rich electronic program guide. Simple.TV not only bridges the “cable gap” to offer live TV that can be recorded, but it is specifically designed and optimized for a seamless mobile experience. Complementing offerings from Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, Simple.TV offers a truly holistic ecosystem for live and streaming content. With dual-tuners, it has the ability to record two shows at once, while streaming up to five different recorded shows at the same time.
