There is no such thing available. The firmware is complex and is written specifically by Motorola/Pace for Shaw's STBs, also with each make/model STB slightly different.

What you could do is build yourself an HTPC which would then control the STB - discussed in the HTPC section of this forum. See previous threads there and post in an applicable one:

Please search before asking questions that have been asked many times before. There have been many previous threads on CableCARD and Tru2Way that can be found by searching - as outlined in the second link I provided in post 2.

It's highly unlikely that there will be CableCARD (dead) or Tru2Way (on life support) used by cable service providers in Canada.
