Out of interest how fast is RedEye at changing the channel on a Sky digibox?

I assume I would need "Red-Eye Serial" for a Sky box? (the normal one looks
like it just works on NTL/Telewest boxes).

I would also be interested in getting a copy of your redeye.c and
"skychannel" script if that's not too much trouble :)

Thanks,
