If you have minimal building and soldering skills, you can use InfraRed
controls with MythTV or Freevo (I'm not familiar with Freevo at all) and
Lirc to control the cable box at least theoretically, and use that to
provide programming for MythTv's input.  The downside is that this
practice only allows one program to be either watched or recorded at one
time.  Of course if the analog signal provided with digital cable has
the desired channels, it's not a problem.

Link to how to build and I believe it has a link to an IRBlaster already
built.
