hi,
i've got a few starchoice receivers (navigo 301, 305, and 401), and none
of them can be controlled via serial port.
however, i bought some parts and built a couple of ir blasters (based on
http://www.lirc.org/improved_transmitter.html ), and they work great
with my receivers.
if you decide to build your own, i can give you a list of the part
numbers that i used.
on a side note, the starchoice DSR500 has 3 USB ports (1 front, 2 back)
and a 10/100 ethernet port ... here's a picture:

it'd be interesting to see how they could be used ...
