Story of the TiVo remote
02/19/2004 10:12 AMThe NYTimes covers the birth of the TiVo remote, one of the finest
pieces of user-centered design I've ever encountered (if only there
were some way to tell, without looking, whether you were holding it
upside-down).
The peanut-shaped TiVo remote is at once playful and functional. A
smiling TV set with feet and rabbit ears, the company's logo, graces
the top. Distinctive buttons like a green thumbs-up and a red
thumbs-down button have helped the remote win design awards from the
Consumer Electronics Association.
"They did a really good job," said Jakob Nielsen of the Nielsen Norman
Group, a technology consulting firm in Fremont, Calif. Mr. Nielsen
called the oversize yellow pause button in the middle of the remote
"the most beautiful pause button I've ever seen."

02/19/2004 08:57 AMNice fluffy article in the NY Times about the design process that led
to the TiVo remote control, complete with a thumbs-up (bing!) from
usability quote-whore Jakob Nielsen. I like TiVo and all, but why does
tech journalism have to be so soft all the time? The TiVo remote has a
really huge, much-discussed design flaw, namely that you cannot tell
which end to point at the TV unless you...
Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP
Control TiVo, Lights With Your PSP
04/19/2005 08:47 AM
Myriad hacks are
emerging for the PSP as eager tweakers have their way with the black
box. Add to the list the ability to control your home automation
system (and TiVo) wirelessly. Liquidice explains:
I now
have the ability to turn my lights on and off. [I] have full control
(Play, Stop, Pause, Menu) of my DVD player, TIVO, and High Def TV, all
wirelessly from my PSP. ... I put an image map on [some] graphics and
created some HTML pages which are hosted on my WACI NX server. The
links are crafted so that when the PSP highlights and clicks on a spot
on the image map, it instructs the WACI NX server to send an IR signal
to my A/V equipment or triggers it's relays to cut power on the
lights.
While he doesn't have step-by-step instructions,
he explains his methodologies pretty clearly, and mentions that an
official Sony web browser for the PSP will make things much
simpler.
(#gizmodo frequenter AMIB points out (with some
sass, it's noted) that the PSP isn't so spectacular in this feat
because all the heavy lifting is handled by the home automation web
server. A valid point, by way of saying any device or code that can
make a GET request to a web server can accomplish the same
thing.)

Creating The Ultimate Remote, TiVo Style
02/18/2004 10:50 PMMost of us have remote controls lying around that are insanely complex
to use - and once we've learned the necessary four or five buttons,
that's all we ever use. Remote controls, despite being the main
interface between people and their gadgets, have always been designed
without much thought into usability. When TiVo first came along, they
wanted to change that, and went through
quite the usability process in designing their
well-known peanut-shaped remote. Of course, my own experiences
with the TiVo remote really haven't been that great (it still confused
me the first time I picked it up), so I'd say they still have room for
improvement.

DialUp connection. It also enables message communication between

Remote Control consists of two programs: IRServer and IRClient. The
IRServer is installed on the computer that has Internet DialUp
connection, and IRClient is installed on all other computers that need
to monitor and control connection. IRServer monitors DialUp connection
and sends info to all connected clients. Clients can dial, disconnect,
communicate and run programs on server. [Freeware 1.3 MB]

Why this is necessary I have no idea, but it appears this
device hooks up to one's remote, allowing you to whistle codes into
it, which are then translated into an infrared signal that then
controls your television (or whatever). Or maybe it calls down a
magical bird that pecks at the buttons with its beak, I don't know.
Does it really matter? You'll look like a knob using this no matter
how it works.

It's dirty, tactically, but
if you live in a household where control of the remote has escalated
into a full-blown peacekeeping operation, this Remote Control Jammer
from GirlsStuff UK is cheap enough (at around $8) to buy multiple
units to sprinkle like land mines around the smoking battlefield of
your living room or den. (Also useful: actual land mines.) It works on
regular IR frequencies used by most common remotes, although they
don't make any promises it will work in the US. (Thanks,
Graeme!)
