Evan: I'm on Comcast myself and have a PACE RNG110 set top box. I've had great luck controlling it through the firewire port, believe it or not. I started by using the Motorola 6200 STB Control wrapper (the PACE apparently uses a similar or the same command set as the 6200). Recently I wrote my own wrapper for the stb-command module. stb-command supports many more features above just inputting channel numbers and my wrapper has code to control the power to the STB. (stb-control's code page is here: http://code.google.com/p/stb-command/) I submitted the wrapper in the tracker under bug #3108244. Setup is a bit rough, but I've been using it successfully for months now. I've only tested it with the RNG110, but the stb-command page lists many different boxes that can be controlled. Also if you're interested... My RNG110 outputs the raw MPEG-TS stream of the tuned channel out the firewire port and I've written a recording wrapper for dv_grab to capture the video. This one I've tested a little and it works well, but since my poor Freevo doesn't have the oomph to play back full HD (yet), I'm still primarily recording via composite into my PVR-250. Hope at least the firewire control helps you out some!
