Does a reboot make any difference, Ottoni ?

Feel free to give it a try, have not managed to test it on anything other than my laptop, so let me know how you get on.

Basically a picture of a Vm Tivo remote which you can click on the buttons to send to Tivo.

You can also type on the keyboard to send text to search boxes such as when searching all tv. Typing numbers sends the Number to the TiVo.

Software here http://www.andypwheeler.pwp.blueyond...emoteV0.01.zip

Let me know how you get on. Plenty of improvements can be made after reading up on what can be sent.

You will need to have your TiVo connected to your home network, and have Network Remote Control enabled on your Tivo.

Nice one Andy, much quicker now. Could not always rely on it before, but might just use it regularly now as my laptop is always near where I sit. Particularly handy for searches and if remote battery starts to run low.

I have just release V0.05.

Main feature this adds is Reminders Functionality:

- Added reminders. Can now set up the application to change to a specified channel at a specified time and date (PC must running the application at time of reminder to change your TiVo).

- Made changes to the TvGuide link to try and address the blank screen bug.

Setting Reminders

You can now set the application to change the channel on your TiVo box at a specific time and date using the reminders
options.

This can be found under FILE>REMINDERS

Simple enter the date, time and select the channel and add this to the reminders with the Add button. You can
enter a comment for each reminder too, however this is optional.

Provided that the application is running on your PC at the time of the reminder, it will then change the channel
just like the V+ box did.


Latest version can be found on my website www.andypwheeler.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tivoremote


Would appreciate if you could feed back whether the Tv Guide is now working correctly.

Thanks,
Andy

You have to question VM when Mr. Wheeler can program reminders for free yet they can't provide them at all.

It's not that they can't provide them at all, it's that they can't provide them yet.
