Brilliant idea!! My Directv DVR sits right next to the PS3 too.

Hmm, my SKY+ HD box has a USB connection on the front next to the viewing card slot. Tried it, but both my controllers are full from about an hour ago, so they didn't flash.

I just set the auto-off function to 2 hrs, and plug my controller in when I'm done playing. That's plenty of time for a full charge.
