Come on Stuart! :)

Write out 100 times "I must automate everything"

;)

When I got my Tivo, my Sky Dodgybox kept locking up regularly (Sky boxes
have a bug where if you send numeric channel changes a certain number of
times, they die.... and of course Tivo works by sending numeric channel
changes... a lot!) so I ended up putting an X10 auto reboot on it at 
5:55AM since that was the safest time for not watching or recording the
Sky box.
