I use that cable setup with my Tivo. Since I have a digital cable box WITH a DB-9 connector on the back, it is much faster, prettier, and more reliable than the IR cables.

Yeah. I wish I could use it over here but the Sky boxes don't support RS232 channel changing at all. I've got a dongle thing which plugs into the RF2 output of the Sky box and uses the 2nd room IR link feature instead which means it's more reliable than an IR blaster. The UK TiVo didn't even come with that cable actually since they weren't supported.
