| Post subject: | RCA420 Serial port problems |
I am having problems with my Knoppmyth R5A30.1 box and an RCA 420 receiver. I am using version 1.4 of the Directv.pl script. Every time I call the directv.pl script I get “Error excessive retries”. I tested the cable with a windows box and the dtvcontrol app and it works fine, so I know the cable and the port on the tuner are good. My box only has 1 serial port /dev/ttyS0, so I even added a USB adapter /dev/ttyUSB0 and I get the same results. Thanks, Dennis Hayes -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15952 Jan 16 15:34 directv.pl root@mythtv:/myth# ./directv.pl port /dev/ttyUSB0 269 Error excessive retries root@mythtv:/myth# ./directv.pl port /dev/ttyUSB0 get_channel Error excessive retries root@mythtv:/myth# ./directv.pl port /dev/ttyUSB0 4 Error excessive retries root@mythtv:/myth# ./directv.pl port /dev/ttyUSB0 box_type RCA 4 Error excessive retries |

Hey Dennis- I am getting the same problems. I was wondering though, why are you adding the argument, Code: port /dev/stty0 to the command line?
I am pretty sure that it assumes stty0 unless you specify. Where did you get your DTV script and what type of RCA box do you have? I have 2 versions of the script I am going to try again and I have a DRD420 RCA (older model). Let me know if you have gotten it to work! If I am successful with this script, I will let you know. -Mike |

I finally got mine to work by emailing the author of the directv.pl script. He updated the script to support the older rca codes. http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml |
