Thank for your reply Darren.. yeah the IR is alittle funny.. if i use the digits it works fine, but if i use the CH Up/Down then use the channels then the digits don't work anymore.

I need to reset the Tivo for it to work again.

Also as i mentioned before the EPG runs from 101 to 999 so i need to change the 101 to 999 to 1 to 130. I think this can be done via telnet.

If this can be done then i wil have a play over the weekend.

If not then i guess the tivo will be worthless unless i find another solution.
