Tivo Glo Remote - Anyone used with SageTV?

[Brent]

Has anyone used the Tivo Glo Remote with their SageTV setup? I'm assuming you'd need to use girder or eventghost for it to work, but looks like a nice remote control.

ZatzNotFunny has a Glo-Remote giveaway contest if anyone wants to try it out.

Tivo remotes don't have a stop button. (Does the Glo?) Which leaves a tuner running all the time unless you map a different button. But that's not intuitive. The MVPs will work with them if you map the buttons and disable RC5 in properties on the client.

Doesn't look like the Glo has a stop button. So yeah it wouldn't be great for SageTV unless you remap another button to stop.

Does not compute! Abort? Retry? Fail?

Tivo uses the 'record' button to record AND to stop recording.

I've always used Tivo peanuts with Sage - and have always mapped the "slow" button (just under the big pause) for stop.
It's very intuitive - (how many people actually 'look' at remotes anyway)?

IMHO, the Tivo peanut is one of the best simple CE remotes ever.

I map play button as Play/Pause and then map Pause as stop

Alright, that makes sense
