for instructions on configuring your Linux system to speak to your
cable box via a simple ~US$10 IR LED transmitter, follow this link

or the mirror

n.b.
if anyone has created a /etc/ledxmitd.conf configuration for the more
popular cable boxes (e.g. DCT2000), i'll be happy to incorporate that
info into my writeup.  just drop me a note with the config file and
any necessary info that might go along with it.
