Let's just lob a web server in it...

If you're in the UK, and you're using the rather useful DigiGuide TV guide application, then you might not have noticed that they've sneaked in a little web server - so you can install your copy on a local server, and just browse from any machine, anywhere (if you're brave enough to open up a non-standard hole in your firewall).

Useful. Next - actually getting it to control the PVR.

Perhaps I need to get a Media Centre PC and run the Remote Record tool...

It turns out that there's a US version of DigiGuide, which may well have the same feature...

Of course those who have hacked their TiVos (with a network card and TivoWebPlus) have had remote record scheduling for ages. Shame they're not still retailing here. I doubt that anything similar is possible on SkyPlus though.
