Rescuing TiVo IR remote codes

Nelson writes of his adventures fixing his IR blaster on his old TiVo. I've heard about lots of older TiVo losing their modems and hard drives before, but I've never heard of arbitrary channel loss on the IR blaster. But it turns out there is more than one way to enter the number 6: 10006.

Weird. Why does it only affect one numbered code for so many different machines?

Yeah, and why did this just recently change after working for years? (Thanks for the link, megazone!)
