[mythtv-users] Directv D10-300 channel change with satcontrol ordirectv.pl

[Jeff "Muddy" Waters]

Greetings Vincent, 

I picked up the script from http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.pl
I believe the D10-300 was made by Samsung, however I don't know for
sure.
The bottom MFR Code is 300, I checked the fcc website but the 300 did
not register anywhere. I believe it's a Dtv MFR code.
I have pics of the inside and outside if that would help you.

I've tried the directv.pl scritp using the rca/d10-200 and d10-100
settings on both serial ports ttyS0 and ttyS1 and get nothing but
timeouts.

Also have tired the satcontrol and it fails as well.

-Jeff
