You will need to use an IR Blaster (IR transmitter) to
change the channel, via LIRC.  There are no tuner
cards that will work with "digital" cable.  So, you
will not be able to replace the cable box.  

<OT>I've started looking at the IR Blaster (homebrew)
but haven't had time to get into it.  I think I'm
ready to just buy one.  Anyone know of a IR Blaster
that will work with my cable box ( Scientific Atlanta
Explorer 2200)</OT>

hope that helps
