I didn't think that I can grant permissions to the port ;-/ I know now,
but it didn't help. Well, it helped in the sense that now my regular uid
can run directv from command line successfully. But changing channel
from inside mythfrontend doesn't work... I even started mythfrontend as
root, so it is obviously not permissions problem. Any troubleshooting I
can do to see if the external command is indeed sent to the box?
Feels like I am soooo close!
Thanks

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
