Jeremy,<br><br>I have the same dish boxes, I considered what you are talking about but decided that it would be much easier to pay another $5 a month for a second box. I then use the TV2/UHF for other TV's like in the garage, and for a roommates room. However if I were to go about this what I would do is take apart the remote, and just solder wires to the pads for the number buttons and the select button, then you could use a serial/parallel relay/transitor control app in linux. I've implemented similar setups to control changing stations on a radio before.

I just recently got DishNetwork installed at my house. The set top box that comes with it has an IR receiver for tuner 2, and a UHF remote receiver for tuner 1. I've got my mythtv communicating with the IR tuner just fine but keep wondering how I can reverse engineer the UHF receiver. I've never done something like this before, but it sounds like fun. Does anybody know how I could start?
