If you plug a USB keyboard into your TiVo does it work? TiVo added the ability to the US software (S3/S4), and the new remote makes use of that feature. If a regular USB keyboard works, then theoretically the new remote should as well.

USB - The TiVo does not have bluetooth built in. The remote includes a bluetooth USB dongle.

The Australian Software has not been upgraded to allow the keyboard feature.

We have been on 11.3b3 since January, The US 11.3h software only came out last month which allows the use of the keyboard.
