to use it's internal circuitry to change the changes, that would be
awesome. Having this little red light taped to the front of the STB with a
long wire snaking here and there is functional, but not iClean,

<DIV><BR>Well Tom since the SA box can transmit and the PVR-150 can receive then
the SA box can issue instructions to the PVR-150, which is not exactly what you
would want, unless I'm misreading your message, it happens :). what you'd
like is for the SA box to have a receiver and utilize the PVR-150's transmitter
so that you can issue commands to the SA box from your linux machine.
