There is a program in the contrib directory that lets you change channels over firewire.

It's been working great for me. I've been able to tune in every channel I've tried (including premium, HDTV, and local broadcast). I've got Comcast in Chicago if that helps anybody else.

I see in the changelog that there is some limited support for firewire
connection to  DCT-6200 tuners.  I was hoping to hear a little more
about how this works, and if this is going in the direction of full
control of the box (at least full enough to do channel changes and
such).  Will it also grab HD channels?

I just yanked my  DCT-6200 last night to install Myth on the family TV
and while I'm loving it, my wife (of course) immediately points out
that on analog cable we now have 1/3 the channels we had the day
before, no premiums, and no HD.  Husbands can never win.  ;-)

So I'd love to hear more about where this functionality is, where it
is going, who's working on it, etc.

Thanks!
