Why not avoid sudo altogether and just grant world read/write
permissions to the port? It would simplify things, and shouldn't really
be a security concern on a home Linux box, especially a dedicated Myth
box that only has a DirecTV receiver attached.
So just "chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0" drop the sudo and see if it works then.
If you're really paranoid about security you could set the group on
/dev/ttyS0 to mythtv or whatever your myth login group is and likewise
set the same group on the directv.pl script. Then you can just allow
group read/write on the device.

I got the serial cable, got the script, got some additional perl

the script directv.pl works great when I run it as root; however, as
regular user, I was getting "Could not open /dev/ttyS0: Permission
denied". So, I set up sudo for directv.pl; and now it works from
command line. However, in MythTV it still doesn't change channels...
I tried the following line in mythtvsetup (Input connections -
External channel change command):
sudo directv.pl box_type D10-100 setup_channel
(with and without sudo) but the channels don't change...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
