Description
A virtual TiVo remote control for your computer, for Series 3 TiVos and up.
Controllable TiVos on your network are detected automatically, when possible; or you can specify an address. Make sure you have your TiVos' "Network Remote Control" settings turned on!
Shortcut keys are available for most operations. Direct text input is available for those parts of the TiVo interface that support it, and for those that don't, the Network Remote can navigate the "Ouija board" and enter text automatically. Closed captions can be toggled with a single button press. These features make the Network Remote faster in use than an infrared hand-held.
Please note that, unlike the full-featured iOS app provided by TiVo Inc., this program merely simulates the hand-held "peanut" remote. Also please note that I'm not an employee of TiVo Inc., and this isn't an official TiVo product.

Ratings and Reviews
Works perfectly!
Wow! Instantaneous connection with no setup required and it works amazingly well with no lag whatsoever. I also like the fact that it shows the channel number at the bottom of the app. Like others have commented it would be very nice if the interface could be modernized but this app works so perfectly its easily overlooked.
Great App!
It does what you want it to do. If you watch TV with your Macbook on your lap, this means you don’t have to reach for the remote.
Five stars for an app that is not only useful, but, more importantly, does exactly what it promises to do!
Used to work great, now under MacOS11.1 it crashes
Don't know how to contact the developer for support and it has been a week since the new MacOS came out and this all started. Perhaps the developer is expecting Apple to fix it on their end. Perhaps the developer isn't in this industry anymore. It's a shame as now I have to use my phone or my watch or my tablet as a remote. I ended up dusting off my old Harmony remote
