Is there a way you can use the infrared port to change the TV channels?

should do, the ir transmitter is just a serila port connected to an led, and lirc has support for serial ports wired like that, there is also a binary of lirc for the zaurus somewhere, normally i would recomend searching the fourms but it never turns up the resaults no matter how hard you look so just look in feeds and web based package protals

havent tested it on the c3k series but worth a shot, otherwise there is a trick you can do with the headphone port thats farily cool

Right on. When I get my Zaurus I'll give it a shot. I don't watch much TV but I would love to show my friends the cool thinks you can do with a Linux powered device.
