Re: UHF TV - scheduling ?s

Judging by google, it is really ancient. An IR blaster (ggogle it to see how it works) like USB IRT should do what you want (ie have BTV send a signal to the Zenith STB to change the channel). The problem is getting/developing the necessary config files. If your STB is supported, the necessary files are available, if not, you need to develop these files. There are ways to "teach" the usbirt the IR codes for your box, but I have never done it and I believe it has a high geek factorMaybe they can help you at the USB IRT site.

Somebody with a lot more knowledge than me might chime in,
