Programmable Set Top Box (or Satellite Receiver)
Hi to all;
What I want to do is to change TV channels on set top box using my application. So, I am seeking a programmable set top box (or satellite receiver).
Any brand and model you can offer?
Thank you in advance and best regards,

Have a look at some Dreambox receiver. It is Linux based and has a RS232 for remote control.
Many Digital Video Recorders (e.g. Dish Network's ViP722) provide the ability to be controlled over the Internet. Units that don't have that built-in, can be controlled using a Slingbox.
Would that suit your needs?

Dreambox doesn't provide SSH or TELNET through Ethernet port, so I can send CHANGE_CHANNEL and VOLUME commands.
So, what I exactly need is a set top box that accepts such commands over SSH/TELNET/(or other protocols).

Yes, all digital devices has such features but which one provides above???

I don't think that either of the things I proposed could control volume. I would doubt that even an Internet-enabled TV would allow you to control volume by the method I had envisioned.
