Hi Ciaran,
I could read programmes on the TV guide, in fact, it was through the TV guide
that I discovered a programme about Steve Jobs, which I subsequently scheduled
to record because I was going to be out at the time of broadcast.
I was also able to successfully search for a programme, find it, and schedule a
recording.
I haven't investigated the reminders part, but I think all it does is sends you
a push notification before your programme starts, which I suppose could be
interesting.
On the topics of inaccessible iPhone apps, you are absolutely right. The latest
version of Skype for iOS is a good case in point.
Stuart.

Hi Stuart,
I'm interested to hear how you find UPC's iPhone app.
I'm finding it pretty poor in terms of accessibility when used with Voiceover
on IOS 5.0.
The TV Guide section is completely inaccessible for me, I get no feedback what
so ever. I'm told the information is displayed in a grid, with the times across
the top and the channels down the left hand side.
In the channels section I can get a listing of all current programmes, however
the actual channel name isn't read - it's displayed as an image. Clicking into
the programme title does reveal the name, but that's a bit annoying if you just
want to browse the now / next information.
The TV Tips area is an excellent idea, however I'm again having difficulty in
finding out which channel a programme is being shown on. When I click on a
description, I can read all the information relating to that programme with the
exception of the channel name (which is displayed as an image).
Are you having any of the above issues?
It appears there is a huge contrast between the app and the mobile site. I'm
finding the site really easy to use. Maybe Android is the way forward after all!
Ciaran

Dear All,
UPC have now officially launched their remote record service, allowing you to
schedule recordings on a compatible box via their website, and, from yesterday,
via their new iPhone app, which, I'm happy to report, is very accessible.
If you're a UPC customer and have the necessary equipment go and check it out.
Stuart.
