Well, ish - I was hoping to discover someone had already done the hard
work
and I could just bring it all together :-)
Am not a *nix person so can't write tivo listener, but PC/windoze side
of
thing wouldn't be a problem
Of course, need the listener to be of any use :-(

Nice one!  Will have a look at it.
Have been given a bit of VB telnet code already by someone which I have
yet
to have time to look at.  Works most of the time AIUI.  Would
like it to
work 100% of time for SWMBO friendliness....
TBH, would prefer _not_ using a telnet solution as seems a bit clunky to
me.
Prefer the listener idea but have no suitable skillz - this may also
have
meant that an xAP plugin could whizz the CLID info to other display
devices....

But u need a modem too for this to work right? 
Would you like to share that nifty bit of code too, or is it all in the
tivoOSD zip file already??

Nah, probably just works so well they're speechless :-)
