Firewire Channel Changing and Special Remote Keys

Hello,

I use firewire to control my two cable boxes and it works wonderfully. However, sometimes when the cable box turns to an HD channel the cable box displays a message about the channel not being available and to press the "A" key to try to reload it.

Is it possible to transmit the "A" key over firewire control (I can't find anything about this)? Also, can I setup channel changing to send the "A" key 5 seconds after the channel is changed?

Thanks for any help,
Will
