]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> i agree i don't see what the big deal is other than some other geeky thing that's just cool because it's possible.

the tivo came with the ability to control it through the web, and an iphone can easily navigate to the web site. i could even do it on my outdated treo.

the quest goes like this:

Program -> Run -> "telnet"

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> could you do this from a laptop, say in terminal, doesnt that also have telnet abilities

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> Uh, yeah - that was my Internal IP address. Good luck finding my public IP, traversing my router, and talking to my TiVo. Then again, by posting this comment Giz now knows my IP. Blam, Chen - leave my stuff alone! ;)

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> @sandmanfvr: I'm willing to bet that was all done on a lan, and if you tried to telnet from outside to that address you would not get the results you expected... go ahead and try though and let me know how that goes for you

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> Funny, he puts his ip on the net, so what if we all telnet into it and keep messing with his tivo?

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> Hard to believe that when you mix the power of TiVo and the power of the iPhone you get a technology from the late 70's.

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> Am I missing something here? I already control my TiVo from the TiVo web site and from TVGuide.com. It's for setting recording, but what else could I need? If I'm not there, I don't need things like fast forward, etc. Of course, if I am missing something, I'm sure someone here will tell me.

]]> <![CDATA[TiVo Remote Control Over IP via Telnet]]> I was able to do this with SendKey.tcl like 6 years ago on my TiVo.
