SkyHDremote =========== Sky have released Android and IOS apps to control their Sky+ HD set top boxes supplied in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Skyhdremote is a small command line tool written in C which employs a sub-set of the set top boxes network control API to allow Linux shell scripts to control Sky HD and Sky+ HD set top boxes in much the same way as using a remote control except that it uses the network interface instead of the infra red sensor. Each invocation of the programme corresponds to one button press on the remote control so for example: skyhdremote 192.168.0.10 49 skyhdremote 192.168.0.10 48 skyhdremote 192.168.0.10 49 would change the sky set top box with ip address 192.168.0.10 to channel 101 (BBC1 in the UK). While ideal for use by scripts this would be a clumsy tool for manual control so skygtk.c provides a simple graphical tool allowing users to click on the relevant buttons to control their set top box.
