[mythtv-users] DirecTV "Low Speed Data" Port w/MythTV

[William]

I have attached a script which I rewrote from some of the other DSS scripts.
This one controlled my DRD222RD receiver when I was using DirecTV. I have
since switched to dishnetwork and use a different system to control my 2
receivers. (Dish has my local channels, DirecTV does not.)
