Re: OT Battle Stations OT



Indeed, in fact the Tivo setup screens even warn you not to enable both
options at once... However, in my case, remote control of the digibox was
not working *at all* via the RF2link, it was only after I enabled the front
blaster that I got any response at all... albeit somewhat unreliable...
(works about 75% of the time...)
