My dad found this at the garbage can, and I took it and tried plugging it everywhere but it wouldn't work, and I have no idea what it is or what does it do? I need help, anyone?

It has one of them headphone jacks and at the other end 2 LED's.

The flat pieces get 2 sided tape and get mounted so that their beams hit your cable box's electronic eye...
The plug goes into the back of your TiVo...

When you change chanels on the TiVo, it sends a signal so that your cable box channel gets changed.
