How to get Google Home/Alaxa to control Tivo

Has anyone got a google home to control their virgin Tivo STB.

This would be great if you could setup Alexa or Google to change channel or record.

You can but you also need a Logitech Hamony Hub for now.

Re: How to get Google Home/Alaxa to control Tivo

It may sound good but it is totally pointless. I have the Harmony Hub and an echo dot but you have to say 'Alexa, ask Harmony to change channel to ...' or the same but to pause, play, increase volume to etc. But it is soo much easier to just use the remote supplied. Try doing it over the sound of the TV and you'll soon get frustrated when things don't go right which is more often than not.
