I have one D11 HD receiver, and two D11 SDs. I am using a supported serial dongle. I also tried another random dongle, and that worked too. I don't know how critical the serial dongle type really is.

The SD boxen used to work with 115000 baud, but since they got a firmware update earlier this year they only do 9600.

The HD box runs fine with 115000 baud.
You can get my channel change scripts from:

	http://www.rvt.com/directv2.pl
	http://www.rvt.com/directv3.pl
IIRC, it's just the generic stuff from the wiki.
BTW: The channel change time was VERY long with the ir blaster, now it is even usable with live tv.
