So, way back when the Series3 was announced, there was a small footnote about Crestron integration. It was quickly forgotten, and nothing has been seen or heard from about this integration -- until today.
This has the potential to be REALLY cool!
Zatz Not Funny : Demonstration of telnet control of Series3
TCF discussion
So... Time to brainstorm. What could we do with such a thing ? |

| Yeah I already commented at TCF. The ability to do this is pretty cool, but as of yet I can't really come up with any "great function" to build around this. I am sure for some ppl in unique situations this will be helpful. |

I played around with this too ... other than messing with my wife while she's watching TV in the other room, I can't come up with a "real" reason to use this.

I think Ashu's wish of a PC-centralized co-operative scheduler is do-able with this feature. You'd have to make your TiVo's into dumb CableCARD enabled recording devices, but it could be done.
You could possibly parse the results of the https://<tivo-ip> NowPlayingList and cue up a specific recording by name.
I'm sure there are others. Those are just two that come to mind... |

We can do remote scheduling via tivo.com (in principle -- I haven't tried to automate it yet), and it would work for Series 2 as well, unlike this. Apart from the delay involved, that's probably a better way to implement cooperative scheduling.

Is it possible to cancel a recording that's been scheduled through either the tivo.com or XMPP interfaces ? In order to truly be an effective replacement for the existing one-unit TiVo scheduling algorithm, you'd need to be able to accomodate priority shuffles, program adds/deletes, and the corresponding ripples that such activities would have upon previously scheduled recordings. |
