iPad Interface
• Rather than selecting between the different views using tabs at the bottom as on the iPhone, the iPad version shows a list of possible views on the left to provide a better application flow - all interactions in the individual views (e.g., device selection) are identical to the iPhone version.
• Recording details are shown in a popover view rather than a separate window (as seen in the screen shot).
• On the iPad, the application works in any direction (landscape or portrait).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Some details are missing for my saved recordings
Recordings that were already saved on your DVR when the application was first used will not show any details as they are only available for scheduled or ongoing recordings. Details for recordings that at one time have been seen as scheduled or ongoing by the application will be preserved once the recording has been saved.
Some service messages cannot be deleted
There are two kind of service messages – device-specific (which will include the device name in the message title) and system-wide messages. While the application will display both kinds of messages, only device-specific messages can be deleted; system-wide messages will automatically disappear once they expire.
Some channels are missing in MOXI Remote
In order not to clutter up the interface, channels that don't allow recording (e.g., video on demand, radio channels) are not shown in the application.
