You can use sendkey to send remote key presses over bash.
RS232 control of TiVo menu system?
Does anybody know if it is possible to control the Tivo menu system using serial commands from an external device such as AMX, Crestron or PC's?
I'd like to replicate the peanut from a touch panel control system or have direct comands to go to specific pages.
If this is possible, has it been developed?
Thanks.

Thanks Da goon.
Do you know where I can get a command set for it? There seems to a lot of references to it but not much about using it.

On my S2 it returns an -l option which list all commands as such
Code:
HD_TiVo#[/] $ sendkey -l

204 FPSTOPCrestron just came out with the tivo module that emulates the remote. Please let me know if you know any commands other then what is in their module. I am trying to fond out if I can get the guide list and/or the now Playing list.
Slingbox also simulates the TiVo remote, but I don't know how they do it.
Slingbox has what amounts to a universal remote in the box. It is, in fact (at least in early ones), a custom OneForAll chip, which is field upgradeable.
The Crestron module allows Crestron to send remote commands to the Series3 over TCP/IP w/out hacking the box, while using sendkey requires hacking the box.
Perhaps some research should be done in digging into the TiVo/Crestron module to see if it can be reverse engineered somehow for use in non-Crestron devices.

How do I manipulate the sendkey fucntion? After some searching I found the sendkey.tcl file in /tvlib/tcl/tv/. So i guess my question is how do I manipulate .tcl files? What exactly are they?
Getting sendkey to work on software versions 6.1 and up requires the use of two modules, routerplus, and sendkeyplus, both of which require a hacked TiVo in order to function.

I have successfully used these modules to gain remote web control on both my Series3 and my TiVo HD units which are running 9.3a.
P.S. If it wasn't clear, I'm not actually referring to the domain "otherforum.com". You will need to substitute it with the real domain.

You should be looking for a .com that has a deal database.
