Re: TV Tonight (Another) NOW protect TIVO recording

["tomdubourg" <thomas.dubourg@xxxxxxx>]

I've a similar problem of SWMBO (or anyone else in the house) of 
changing the Sky channel from a second/third/fourth TV without 
realising (or probably caring) that TIVO is recording..

What I need is a gadget that knows TIVO is recording and somehow 
disables the TV LINK remote eyes....

Any ideas how this could be done?
