Charter finally has enough HD channels in my area that the 250GB drive in my S3 got tight and I re-attached a 500GB eSATA drive to expand it. Thinking about doing an internal upgrade to clean things up a bit. As for the remote - maybe wait for the new QWERTY TiVo remote coming out later this year? I understand that it is programmable. The S3 Glo remote can be programmed to control both TV and Receiver power. In fact, all TiVo remotes can, even the non-programmable ones. A little secret - your do the TV setup to set the TV power like normal. But then you do it again and enter the *receiver* code, same one used for volume/mute, and the button does both with one press. Similar when programming it - I've long had my peanut control my TV & receiver. -- [email protected] / [email protected] Geek, Gweep, Technophile, me. www.GizmoLovers.com / www.MegaZone.org / www.Eyrie-Productions.com Hail Eris Twitter.com/megazone / Facebook.com/megazone / www.LinkedIn.com/in/megazone "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men" 432-363-4296 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
