DirecTV STB Control If you have a DirecTV box, then you should seriously consider serial channel changing. Just buy two USB dongles and put a null modem serial cable between them (total cost is about $35). Connect one to your computer and the other to the DirecTV box. Or you can use your computer's built-in serial port (if available) and one USB dongle. After you do this, you will need to reboot the DirecTV box so it will see the USB serial dongle. Use the directv.pl channel changing script: http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml You may want to edit the defaults. Newer DirecTV receivers use a bit rate of 9600 or 115200 ($baudrate = "9600") and the box type should be set to H20 ($box_type = "H20"). I typically set the default serial port ($serport) so I don't have the send the script a bunch of options. When you plug in the USB serial dongle, the device it's mapped to will appear on the console and in your system log file. Also, see the MythTV wiki: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Controlling_ ... _or_Serial The Sabrent USB serial dongles are cheap and work great: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6812156008 |
