Is there any kind of adapter or good new receiver that has software that works in linux that would allow me to change channels on satellite? I want something that'll get most popular national radio shows, especially the technology ones. I want this approach as there's little other way to tell what frequency, satellite, and channel it's on without sighted assistance, which I won't have every time I want to switch to a different channel. I got one of those dishes that moves to different satellites when you press certain buttons on the remote. That was what came out before the new dss stuff that probably can't get radio anyways. Also, I might want to use crontab entries to record things at different times, sounds easier than wasting a talking VCR to record audio only, there's no talking cassette recorders or the like that I've heard of. According to some ad I heard long ago, some receivers are capable of programming like this, and they start your vcr after switching to the channel too (TV only I assume).
