Wierdest thing has started to happen when I telnet to my TiVo

The character I type is displayed twice in the terminal, but only relayed to the TiVo once.

ie, i type pwd and ppwwdd appears on the display, but the TiVo responds to the command correctly.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I am on MacOS X 10.3.4 if that makes any difference, and it has worked fine previously! I assume I need to change the telnet settings, but I have no idea how to do this!

Here is a copy direct from the terminal window:

Paul-Davies-Computer:~ pauldavies$ telnet 192.168.1.10
Trying 192.168.1.10...
Connected to 192.168.1.10.
Escape character is '^]'.
bash-2.02# llss^M
bash: ls: command not found
bash-2.02# ppwwdd^M
/var/tmp
bash-2.02#

Local echo is turned on. You have to turn it off.
 
Do you happen to know how i do this? Total novice with command line settings!
 
How to turn off echo for Tivo in Telnet for Mac OS X

instead of telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx use telnet -K xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - the -K stops auto login to the remote system - I think the setup goes wrong if it tries to do it.
