Overide satelite providers "Parental Control"

My tv provider (Yes Israel) is a real "pain"
They have a new channel that after 22:00 needs a code to be entered in order for me to be able to view the it (and record of-course).

I wanted to ask your help in overriding this behaviour:
I need to do the following:

1. take a screen shot off of the screen in case we are at the channel and past a certain hour.
This screen capture could be 1 of five instances, since you need to enter 4 digits and press another key.
2. I need to check that screen cap against my pics that detail the different stages (1,2,3 or 4 digits entered) and see what to do and how many digits to enter.
3. inject the digits, and then the enter key.

After this I am set.

This can ofcourse be extended to fix some other issues with "interactive" screens that they keep on trying on us, like the radio select screen that will not allow you to escape off, or adult channels other problem...

Is there a small pic comperator that you know that works, and can give me a good refrence against my screen cap?
If I can compare only a small part of the pic that would be best.

I can program Java and am starting to get to know Studio, so I can get it done with some help.

Thanks,
Alon24
