When you do a long press on the standby button the signal is going directly from the remote to the TV. The TiVo plays no part in this. (If you want, you can prove this to yourself by turning the TiVo off at the mains - you'll see you can still control the TV)

In theory, the TiVo *could* do it using CEC, but it appears your TV doesn't support CEC. Nor is it implemented in the TiVo software.
