I have tried to use various different perl scripts and the c program that was posted in the forums.
Based on the c program in the forums I have created a new program which has a little more functionaility.
I added the ability to turn on and off the receiver. Enter in the locks and limits code. Get the time/date,
current channel #, and satellite strength.
I am personally using this on my Hughes Executive Directors Pack for the last few weeks with no issues at all.
I also made it modular, so if a new reciever codes come out, it should be pretty easy for us to create a new driver.
It should also be possible to make it work with other boxes that use serial control also.
The program is available to download from http://ftp.jg555.com/satcontrol/
Usage: satcontrol [ OPTIONS ] Version 0.01
OPTIONS := -a - Turns the Receiver Power on
-c {channel} - Changes the channel to the number specified
-d {code} - Disable Lock and Limits
-s - Get Receiver Statts
-z - Turns the Receiver Power Off
-v - Version Information
-? or -h - This help menu
