TiVo Glo Premium Remote eats batteries?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4108 of 4438 |
A couple of months ago the remote for one of our two Hughes HDVR2 DirecTiVos
stopped being able to control the TV. I ended up buying a TiVo Glo Premium
Remote direct from TiVo because it was about the same price as the DirecTiVo
remote from weaKnees.

However, I notice it seems to really go through batteries. Does anyone else
notice this? Is there a way to turn off the backlight feature on this
remote? (which may or may not be the culprit)

Thanks ... Mike

There's MythTV, but if you're not already comfortable with Linux the learning curve is very steep. I would start with their live distribution (CD bootable)....

My Series 3 has been giving me problems. I was hoping it was the hard drive, so I put it a new Terabyte drive with the TiVo info already on it. Everything...

If you've got spare hardware laying around with good Linux drivers, I really suggest you check it out - at least the live distro. The project is nearly 7...
