  ReplayTV uses Internet as remote control

from the dept.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said MyReplayTV is the " ultimate remote control" for the company's units, which record television programs to a hard drive, offering a tape-less alternative to the VCR. For average ReplayTV users, this means that when they realize it is going to be a late night at the office, they can send a message to their set-top box at home to record "Survivor." When they get home, the tribe, or what's left of it, will be waiting. The announcement comes just as a new study says that digital video recorders (DVRs) made by ReplayTV and rival TiVo aren't taking hold in the market.
