Optimum

Just as a heads-up, I only recommend the Optimum app for people who have Optimum TV.  If you don't, well then the app is utterly pointless.  Optimum is an app where you can control your TV from your Iphone, Ipod Touch, or Ipad.

You can record movies and shows and even change the channel on your TV from your device.  A great feature to it is that you can watch shows that are going on on TV, right on your device while your TV is off or it someone else is watching a show that you don't want to watch.  It's like having a TV right in your pocket.  The app is free except the fact that you are paying Optimum for your TV plan.  You require a password to open your Optimum account on your device which is provided when you install Optimum as your TV company.  If you have Optimum, get this app!
