I believe someone on the 'net *has* reverse engineered the VCR+ code
and even written a program to generate them for you (if you know the
program channel, time, and length). IIRC, it is just an encrypted
code. It works across cable companies because you have to program
your VCR with the different channels when you get it.
Disclaimer: At least I think you do. I've never used VCR+ because
real men know how to program their VCR. 8)
