There is one box that has scheduling including working with VCRs and DVD recorderes that use the TV Guide directory system with an IR blaster (or will work stand alone) I have one - here is the website http://www.dtvpal.com/. You can get them on line using the coupon at http://www.solidsignal.com/cat_display.asp?main_cat=03&CAT=Digital%20Converter%20Boxes. They also have an interesting DVR that is not coupon eligible. Just got my box and have not played with it much yet. By the way, the coupon I used was given to me by a co-worker.
