i'll see if i can use it to control my samsung f/w tuner...i've been using VirtualDVHS.app since i got my sammy >3yrs ago, recording OTA, but never saw any upstream control api...

i control the tuner (as well as the tv) thru iRed/irTrans blaster, and since all those are applescriptable (the apps, not the h/w;-) i taught myself a/s & wrote some background apps to tie them all together...

i use titantv's .tvpi to schedule recordings...and since i use cron, i can just switch to your cli:-)

i finally got pyobj pulled down from svn, no ez_setup...
installed easy_install (setuptools...egg, still no ez_setup...!@#$%%%%&^%#$
finally pulled ez_setup.py into pyobj/, python setup.py installs a buncha stuff, then builds against 10.3??? ( build/temp.macosx-10.3-ppc-2.6/) oh, well, if it don't care i don't;-) build's running...film@11

got pyobjc built & installed @ work, now i just gotta get it working @ home (where my f/w tuner is;-)

it recognizes my sammy tuner, but all it can do is record, no channel-changing.

guess i'll stick w/ my applescripts;-)

The older hint (linked by robg), works like a charm with my Verizon FIOS Motorola box. Captured video is 1920 x 1088 and was about 100MB per minute.
