This system was originally marketed by GE for a bunch of money. Radio Shack got to clear them out. It is basically a computer system with BSR interface and video output in a box. You can use the infrared remote to program the system on-screen with the TV. In addition, you can call the unit on the phone (it has an interface) and send touch tones to tell it what to do. As a result, my Amiga can use my smart modem to call the unit (I have a PBX) and give instructions with no direct physical connection. It is a nice fix!
