RE: Re: TV Tonight (Another) NOW protect TIVO recording

["Lee" <lee@xxxxxxx>]

My plan (but from a DTT viewpoint) is just to buy another
Freeview box, so the Tivo has its 'own' source. Then SWMBO 
can change to whatever channel she wants to and the Tivo will
carry on recording what it wants to.

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?
