I think I remember reading ages ago that the V+ remotes will work with the Tivo?

The reason I ask is we have 2 V+ boxes and 5 remotes (2 for each box - one for each of us so no fighting over it LOL plus a spare). I bought the extra 3 as a job lot precisely so there was no fighting over them.

When I get the two TiVo Boxes installed of course it would be nice to have 2 each again (what's the bad news on the price of the extra Tivo remotes?) but I only plan on sending back 1 remote each with the V+ boxes I'm returning. So my hope is that perhaps the V+ remotes will work some of the basic functions with TiVo? They're the original heavy remotes, not the newer ones that apparently are based on the shark ones.

Any info would be appreciated.

While on the topic I have also read somewhere that the TiVo remotes can control the on/off of the TV like the old shark remotes did - is this true as well?

Thanks in advance
