Best way to schedule your TiVo online

I've tried many ways to schedule my TiVo remotely, none of them are perfect.

1) Yahoo TV - I used to use this a few years ago all the time, then suddenly the connection to my TiVo was often broken and I haven't gone back to it.

2) Tivo.com TV Listings Guide (http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/tvlistings.do) - old way that is painful to find your way to the show you want.

3) m.TiVo.com - this is the mobile phone version of the scheduler, but I use it in my web browser. Works great as you can setup your standard prefs and use 1-click record.

4) NEW BETA - this one has potential. I just used it to schedule the new Conan show and a Twins game to different TiVo machines. I got word about this from Twitter a few weeks ago...

Anyone have a favorite way to schedule a show when not in front of their home TiVo?
