TiVo is expensive enough as it is so they could give us the functuality.
and
2) Can you set it to port 31337?]]>May 1st 2008 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/
2) 31339 is better than 31337. It's like 11.]]>May 1st 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/
Here ya go!
(Dependencies: UNIX, Bourne shell, netcat, gxmessage)
And seriously, this should work, but having no TiVo, can't confirm. Let me know what happens, if anyone tries it. I recommend a Zaurus or Nokia IT, but with the awesomeness of the SDK, I'm sure someone will have X, GTK+, and gxmessage running on the iPhone any day now...

I installed a GoGadgets program on my WinMo6 phone and Vista Media Center computer and I can control channels and even select music and playlists from my WinMo6 phone using SideShow function on Vista over my WiFi network.

It's pretty slick, but buggy as its a beta program.

Another interesting phone/media feature uses the WebGuide plug-in where you can access your Vista computer contents from the web over your phone browser. I have access to pictures and music and TV scheduling from my phone (you can already do some of this with Tivo as well)

I imagine feature like these will be common place in a few years.]]>May 1st 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/May 1st 2008 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/SSH :P]]>May 1st 2008 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/
Netcat is the proper way, being more flexible than telnet, but either will work.]]>May 2nd 2008 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/May 2nd 2008 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/May 2nd 2008 4:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/May 2nd 2008 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/May 2nd 2008 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/01/telnet-hack-allows-for-network-remote-control-of-tivo/May 2nd 2008 12:00PM
