Thatwas odd, I only saw half your post on my work computer.

I know some people have hacked the TiVo to control Satellite (big dishes) so setting it up to control the TiVo could be done. I think you could get a display of the Empeg on the TiVo but this would require some type of video input from the Empeg to the TiVo. It would need to have a pc next to the TiVo that was VNCed to the Empeg and a Video card that has S/Video or RCA outs and hook that up to the TiVo.
