Hi all,

Been working on something for awhile, Been thinking about this for a long time. Also got some motovation from several sources around, Thanks for the push.

But I'm happy to say "IT WORKS"

TiVo set as DirecTv (sorry I had to say it, YUK)

Using Serial output of TiVo

decode channel data of LSD to 4DTV

Infrared output to 4DTV :-)

sense pulse input for (timing)

look at Video RCA for ON-OFF conditions
(still working on this, But Above all works)

Not complete in My Eyes, YET. Working on more brains for it....

Like are you using the remote, So TiVo will not change channels, Or at least BUG you..

Timer of some kind for Guide Updates too shut off at a timer from last data dump (but may find this is not important) as you use TiVo guide's that works better for me "Easier for one & as local's channel data for my area"

Gives you a whole different feel for 4DTV, but makes you think of LSD channel #'s, Not your normal G1-100 stuff more like 501. Does give you a "Cable feel with a Twist"

It should also work with RePlayTv as ReplayTv doesn't look at serial data coming back to it, As TiVo does, So TiVo is the harder one to get to work, ReplayTv should fall in place.
