i'd like my mobile phone to be able to transmit commands to my vcr for when i'm out and realise i forgot to set the vcr. a simple code, like videoplus, could be sent and, as long as a tape was in the vcr, it would tape the show.

Good idea.

You should not even need to have a tape. Let's say you call up a service to order the show that you missed, and they will stream it to you on-demand. Kind of like the TiVo without the TiVo..

There was a VCR with that long ago. Didn't become big. With DVRs, it would be kinda easier.

Replay TVs do this now from their specialized website called MyReplayTV.com.

I believe Tivos do it as well, but you might need some modifications done to your Tivo setup that might not be reasonable for the average person.
