Willing to pay for modified Sony TiVo remotes

I would like to get 2 JP1-modified (and reprogrammed) sony TiVo remotes - the kind used with the Sony SVR-2000 Tivo - I believe it's the Sony RMT-V303 (see this link: http://www.dvdremotecontrols.com/Mfrs/S ... T-V303.htm)

I can also supply the remotes if it is easier for you. I have read all about the modifications required to add a JP1 port and load in new codes, but I'm just not skilled enough or patient enough to do it myself.

This remote needs to be set up to work with a TiVo-branded series II box, along with volume and mute for a Sony ES series A/V receiver. I'd also like to get a cable and the necessary SW in case I ever need to restore the codes.

Yes, I realize there are lots of JP1-ready remotes out there I could buy, but the wife is very comfortable with her current remote and it's the only way we're getting a series II in the house...

Please respond if interested with your price, turnaround, and a reference or two.

Thanks!

I can mod the remotes for you, but I warn you in advance, it won't be cheap. It takes 2 to 3 hours per remote to do the mod.

Once you get the remotes, it would be up to you to do the programming using your JP1 cable.

So how much...

Rob,

Thanks for your reply.

Drop me a line at jim AT tangibility DOT com and let me know what you think it will cost for your time for 2 remotes.

Thanks!
