I am trying to find a way to display messages on a tv through a Cable Settop box. How do I communicate through (or to) the SA DNCS to make it display a message on a specific STB (which I have the Hardware Address to).

need help

Rusty it ain't that easy. You will need to use APIs on the set top that are only accessible if you have a software developers kit to create and compile the program you are writing to display the message with. There is a company that supports 3rd party developers writing applications for SA STBs, itaas.com. They have a developers program that will give you access to these SDKs. There is of course a cost.
