Version 1.4
This driver controls the TiVo Series 3 High Definition Personal Video Recorder.
Interfacing your Tivo to RTI couldn't be easier. The driver features commands not found on the supplied remote such as putting TiVo into standby, directly accessing the Now Playing menu and jumping directly to your favourite channel.
2-way feedback is provided via variables with the ability to reverse a channel icon based on what channel is currently playing, as well as the ability to see when the TiVo is recording on a touch panel and creating text boxes that display the name of the channel currently playing.
But the best part of it all... no ugly IR emitter stuck to the front of your TiVo! Control is handled over ethernet.
