I'm completely useless with C, and I don't have the plugin code to hand, but 
if you're simply looking to remove the remote control support, just comment 
out (by putting /*            */ around the code block) everything in the 
'lirc send' function except for any 'return' at the end...

If you want to actually make use of LIRC for your cable box, that's a bit over 
my head - make sure that you can get it to work via LIRC normally before 
tinkering around deeper into other code! :)

From memory, I think this is documented in the README that comes with the 
plugin - if the frequency listed in the channels.conf is 3-digits, it will 
use the 'sky' plugin - the only difference between one 'sky' channel and the 
next as far as VDR is concerned is that the 3-digits are the channel number 
that will be sent to the LIRC daemon... for actual audio/video, the plugin 
will always simply read the TS from /dev/video2

Cheers,
Gavin.
