My Toshiba PVR had a function to use a IR unit to change the channels on a non-HD Shaw box. It was slow as hell.

My buddy got the same one, and had Bell. Same thing, but you keep the guide, which is the bonus.

I would imagine that, much like mine, there's two options. Use whatever IR doodad they have, or use an input on the PVR unit. The downside to both is having to set two timers.
