How do you program a Tivo 2 remote to run Sage with Hauppauge PVR150?

Anybody? I am having difficulty, and I know people are doing this.
Thanks

AFAIK, you need a "universal" IR reciever like the USB-UIRT.

... or a programmable remote. Is that Tivo 2 remote programmable?

Some of the old sony tivo series one remotes were programmable but the one from tivo for the series 2 machines were not.

So yes, you will need something like the USB-UIRT to do it.

Do you know if this is a limitation of the Hauppauge IR transmitter/receiver?

The Hauppauge IR receiver is not a universal receiver - it can only decode the RC5 protocol (and RC6 for the new receiver with the 150). So to use it, the remote has to use one of those protocols. I don't know what IR protocol the tivo remotes use, but if it is RC5 or RC6, then you may get it to work with some effort.

The most complete documentation I know of for that remote + receiver is in Hauppauge link #1 in my sig lines. You could check #3 for some more info, but it may not apply to your remote.
