Zeebox the social TV service has just been updated and with the app you can now control your Sky+ box or a Virgin TiVo box. When I updated the app it detected my Sky box was on the network and setup the remote control, so when you tap a TV programme on the iPad app it changes the channel on the Sky box.

Zeebox does seem like an interesting service and adding remote control options makes it a lot better. Any readers using it?

The app is free from iTunes
