I'm working on a little app (TivOSD) which
displays OSD text on a networked Tivo.
It works by passing a string on the command
line so it can be used by such things as HomeSeer, Digiguide or a
script.
Here's the rub...I have used an off the shelf
component in my app which I thought was $30, well it is, but that's per
machine not per developer (which is what I had thought). An unlimited
license is $300 :-(
If anyone wants to have a go with the app,
mail
me off list. I can distribute the demo component with it, but it will only
work for 30 days.
I've tried to find a freeware telnet component
for VB (I don't have time to learn the telnet protocol & winsock)
but have had no luck. If anyone has any ideas I would like to hear
them!
Justin.
