TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet
When TiVo worked with Crestron (the home automation company) to provide integration between your DVR and your wall control panels, they actually opened up a door for people to control your TV with just about any computer. All you have to do is telnet into your TiVo via port 31339 and type in some commands. It's pretty basic now, but the telnet interface means you can easily rig up an iPhone remote app or do some kind of port forwarding to remotely control your TV from outside your home. Why you would want to do that is your business, since we don't want to tell you how to best spend your time. The complete command list after the jump.

CEDIA 2006: Crestron TPMC-8X, TPMC-4X Touchpanel Media Centers
Crestron's booth was jam-packed with enough home-automation crap to shake a stick at (whatever the hell that means), but there were a couple little gadgets that stood out. These are the Isys i/O WiFi Touchpanel (left) and the Isys i/O Handheld WiFi TouchPanel (right). You need to understand that these aren't remotes that you can just stroll into Best Buy and purchase; they have to be used alongside Crestron's home automation systems that are dealer-installed. With that in mind, check out their semi-awesome remotes, after the jump. More »
