Is there not a way of using the web interface to do this? 

I am sure I saw something on the tivoweb site about this... in an ideal
world it would let you send a command in the URL.. 

Otherwise you could bring up the webpage with the remote control on it,
and
use something like autoIt to script a keypress on the screen.

This would be easy to script from homeseer...
