The TiVo slide remote was cool. Check WeakKnees or AVS forum for that release date. They will have anit announced or archived. Ours was topside/bottom side with no moving parts. It was flip-flop modality. The concept was “don’t look” on the Directional side and type or search on the keyboard side.

Ah, didn’t catch that detail. That is indeed a very cool idea.

And thanks for memory lane. Haven’t thought of Weaknees or AVSForum for ages - the latter especially valuable since my first DVR was a ReplayTV.
