Any way to program the HR-20 via web?

[WalksInDarkness]

Hi All,

Here is my stupid question of the day (forgive me if this has been beated to death before): Is there any way to program the HR-20 via the web?

I know that TiVo can be programmed from the "TV Guide" website (as well as some other services). Being able to program a D* DVR via web would be a huge help to someone like me who has to travel for business on short notice (I often forget to program before heading out).

TIA,
Will

That's a feature that DirecTV is planning to offer when the VOD service is ready for release.

To help make the experience more seamless, DirecTV is planning to launch a new TiVo-like feature that will allow HD DVR users to order VOD programs (or schedule any DirecTV content for recording) online or by mobile phone.
"You will be able to browse titles on directv.com [and] have it waiting for you ready to go on your DVR when you get home," Mr. Shanks said.
