It's not magic; the TiVo, rather, has a very powerful IR blaster behind its center "eye." In fact, sometimes it can cause problems for those who do want to use the IR blaster-on-a-plug it comes with to change channels, causing them to build "forts" around the blaster to protect it from stray IR signals. Me, I'm glad that MythTV supports FireWire changing; believe me, I don't miss the IR blaster days! -- Yeechang Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US
