how about a digital tuner card? just the same as analogue but its digital!!What type of hardware do I need to be able to set up a freevo box with digital cable?
have a look at LIRC, a 1 second google for "linux IR" or "linux infra-red" would've found your answer.Obviously I need some sort of IR device to tell the digital cable box to tune to a channel... and change my recording script to check the channel and send an IR event to tune it before starting to record... but what hardware do I need to send IR?
no, they are IrDa ports. again - look at LIRC docs and learn something, you can use irda ports but RTFM!I'm assuming that the IR ports that most motherboards have aren't the same form of IR that remotes use, so I wouldn't be able to just get the IR expansion for the motherboard.
if that pleases you then go for it - google HOW-TO's and set it up. personaly why bother when mplayer can skip 10 secs, 1 minute or ten minutes -that way adverts fly-by!Would be really nice to record things without commercials in addition to the shows I like to watch :)

Can i say to all - how about searching for possible solutions first, this mailing list should be your last resort!
of all the mailing lists im on - somehow freevo always seems to have people who seem to not have spent 1 minute looking for information themselves, they just ask us - look first, we should be your last resort!!!!
