It uses an IR blaster.

You could build use an IR blaster or IR transmitter.  ;)

Hey Mike, thanks for clearing that up. At least  I'll stop banging my head 
trying to get it to change channels. Is there another card I can buy to skip 
the IR blaster step?

I know this sounds crazy but the TiVo does not use an IR Blaster. In fact it 
will change the channel even if it's only connected to the TV via coaxial 
cable. I don't see how and I'm still in awe. Maybe it's magic? Maybe my TV has 
something to do with it.
