RE: Tivo as a CCTV recorder

[Pedro de Oliveira <p.oliveira@xxxxxxx>]

What about having HV/Homeseer issue an IR command to the Tivo to record
the
current channel (Pressing the record button on the peanut)? I don't know
if
the tivo would allow this without knowing when the "program"
started or ends
but there might be a workaround for this.

Cheers
