Some interesting responses... I'd like to go back and edit the original post but due to the way this forum is set up the edit option isn't there any more.

I did some more tinkering with the USB keyboard feature, and found the following.

POSITIVE CHANGES

USB Keyboards now working.
- Keymap is as follows:
  - Esc = CLEAR
  - F1 = Home Screen/toggle to My Shows if on Home Screen
  - F2 = TV
  - F3 = Guide (EPG)
  - F4 = CLEAR
  - F5 = Thumbs Up
  - F6 = Thumbs Down
  - F7 = Channel Up
  - F8 = Channel Down
  - F9 = Record
  - F10 = Info
  - F11 = Home Screen (Old style TiVo SD menus)
  - Backspace = Delete (only when typing)
  - Both Enter Keys = OK
  - Pause Break = Play/Pause
  - Cursor Left = Left/Back
  - Cursor Right = Right/OK
  - Cursor Up = Up
  - Cursor Down = Down
  - Main Keyboard Numbers/Numpad = 0-9
  - Keyboard Letters = Work for searching in HD and SD TiVo menus, including within new YouTube app, but not within the old one or the iPlayer app.
- Sadly keys like Insert, Delete and Home don't do anything, and there is no way to control rewind/fast-forward/stop/slow or colour button/last channel/subtitles functions, so it's not a full replacement for the remote.
- USB keyboard can power up the TiVo if it's on standby (use F1 or F2), but can't power it down.
- Media keys on certain keyboards appear to have no effect.
- Using modifiers (Shift/Ctrl/Alt) appears to have no effect, although on Esc - F4 nothing happens suggesting that once they might have done something.
- Be careful with the two clear buttons, especially when in My Shows!
