Try using a DTV front panel. I put a front panel from a SIR S4080R on a TCD240080 and it works just fine. Although there is no record button, recording...

Plain Bill once suggested to me to drop in a disk image from a Phillips S1 DTivo. I want to say that this worked, but for the life of me, I can't remember which Sat T60 in the heap may have done...

At bash prompt type (even though you can't see it) and hit return

Conferrin' with the flowers

EDIT: To convert HD to SD with slowly and ever increasing loss of A/V sync (ffmpeg default) do this:

The mpeg in question...

This may be a case of the blind leading the blind, but here goes.....
