Hi Brian,
I was in the same position as you, I ended up with two options, hack the hardware or change the STB.
Hacking the hardware would have been easy, spend $30 on a replacement remote and some time wiring and programming it up. However in that scenario I was still stuck with the crappy provider STB which a max of S-Video out. Ended up replacing the STB which had component out, a remote I could record and HD video :D
HD-PVRs are a godsend.
