Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] DirectTV D10 Receiver - channel problems
What is the full number of your box? My script at
http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml
can change channels by sending remote keys. The D10-200 box
I have will lockup sometimes with the normal channel change
command so I added support to change channel by sending the
remote keys instead of the channel change command.
Try the script with the channel change command string
directv.pl channel_change_type key setup_channel
for manual testing add the channel number at the end.
If you have a d10-200 box you will need box_type d10-200 also
before the setup channel.
You can also try without the channel_change_type key but I
expect it will work the same as the other scripts.
I only have a D10-200 so haven't tested on other boxes so
would be interested in if it does work. I attempted to not
break support for other boxes as I added the additional stuff.
Interesting enough this script works but the satcontrol-0.02 only works
for channels greater than 102 (I contacted the author).
Works fine
./directv.pl box_type D10-200 port /dev/ttyS0 6
Changes the channel to 6 on the guide but then kills the process leaving you
on the same channel
./directv.pl channel_change_type key box_type D10-200 port /dev/ttyS0
setup_channel 6
Produces an error for channels < 102
./directv.pl port /dev/ttyS0 6
Error excessive retries
./directv.pl port /dev/ttyS0 102

I was getting errors (failed command) using key controls while using the
windoze software at www.dtvcontrol.com. Why DirectTv feels like they
can upload software to the box without permission and break the
functionality of the box is beyond me... I'll try the script tomorrow...
