Before I go out to the garage to dig out my Tivo Series 1 (Sony SVR2000) remote I wanted to ask you all if it should work w/ my new HD unit?

This is the actual remote:

I really like that remote, and hope it can work w/ the HD.

Also, I just noticed on the image that it has a LIST button...but the remote that ships with the Tivo HD does not. That makes me think I may be in trouble.

On the Harmony remote the "list" feature gives you the now playing list... I like that.. it will probably do the same on yours if it works..

I don't think that remote is going to work for you. The Sony remotes use different codes than the Series1 Philips and Hughes models.

Arrggghh. You are right. I just found the remote, and tried it ...no go.

Damn, I love this remote! It feels way better then the stock HD remote.

Why? Fresh batteries can't change remote command frequencies.

Sony TiVo remotes will not work with non-Sony TiVos - and non-Sony TiVo remotes will not work with Sony TiVos. Period.

Well, that blows. Damn it Sony why do you have to be like this !!

If you really really like the remote, you can reprogram it to control almost anything you want.

I know that, but he said he found it in storage and it didn't work. If he didn't put new batteries in at least to check.
