There is no wired way that I know of for the STB to be controlled by another device.

Some devices have an ability to use a remote control type signal, but that's a problem too with many of the PACE STBs as they use IrDA signalling rather than the more standard RC5.

Simply put I doubt you are going to be able to control the STB from any DVD/HDD type recorder. That's why many of us are desparate for ntl to come up with a proper PVR equivalent of Sky +
