I'm wondering if anyone has a hack to control the DirecTV Tivo remotely via
serial port. I don't want to apply the software hacks to the Tivo drive:

A. Because my PC's C: drive is NTFS (Win2k) can't mount to monte
B. Don't want to resize the partition and no spare drives to use.
C. My wife is skeptical...
D. I'm skeptical, how long will a hack continue to work reliably before
DirecTV breaks it?

The reason I want to control the Tivo is I have the video out wired to the
video capture card in our PC so we can watch TV on the computer in another
room. I had a "Home Control" serial cable wired to our previous DTV receiver
to change channels and that worked great. Now I'm screwed. Any ideas?

Just get a remote control relay. Either a wireless IR relay, or a Xantech
XTraLink2 that piggy backs the IR signal over the coax.

This RF Remote Extender will work with your DirecTV DVR.

You can carry your DirecTV DVR remote control to wherever
you want to use it. No wired connection to the DVR is needed.
