    Ok, the IR receiver and IR blaster are different parts. The reciever is working as it accepts your commands.

    So the next thing to check is if the IR Blasters are working correctly. There is one built into the eye in the middle of the TiVo and you appear to be using an external one.

    Aim a digital camera/mobile phone camera at the middle of the Tivo and use the remote to change channels. You should see a flicker of light through the camera which you cannot see with the naked eye.

    If that worked fine do the same for the external blaster to see if it is working also.

    Peter.
    Please search this forum and our Website for your TiVo questions before starting a new thread. Thanks!

    Thanks again, Pete. Tivo blaster works noticably. The old Foxtel SD IR window is a lot smaller, but I can't detect a flicker.
    Could be time to ask Foxtel for a new one? A consideration is that my Fox STB model is scart-to-Svideo and my teeve is Scart or Svideo, only. Lindy probably has a converter but it'll probably cost more than my teeve. Realise I'm reaching, here.
    Your advice is really appreciated. Cheers, Hoary.
