Release : Please see this thread
I'm putting the finishing touches to a Beta version of a simple Android client which I intend to release in the next week but I'd like to get some indication of interest and some idea of devices being used by people (see follow up post).
The design is based purely on my own requirements and at the moment covers the following...
The next stage will add the following...
More advanced future possibilities (if there is interest from users)...
Note on streaming: I have no personal interest in streaming either video or audio and although streaming audio is relatively straight-forward, it's low on my list of priorities. Streaming video is more complex in particular with problems streaming .ts recordings created by N-PVR to Android devices. Further to this, the unreliable nature of mobile internet connections and potential data costs mean I have no plans to add this feature.

The design is based purely on my own requirements and at the moment covers the following...
- Browse TV Guide information (7 days)
- Set new / cancel pending recordings
The next stage will add the following...
- View What's New recordings (purely for interest see note about streaming below)
- Provide Status information (i.e., what's currently recording on which tuner)
- Show System information (free disk space and so on)
More advanced future possibilities (if there is interest from users)...
- Manage multiple N-PVR machines
- Streaming audio files (i.e., from the 'Music' folders)
- C2DM to provide PC->Android 'push' alerts/notifications
