<div>Not so easy anymore. Most modern PCs do not have a serial port,

buy an X10 Transceiver module like TM751 and plug your hd-pvr into<br>
that. The transceiver module goes for about $10 shipped on ebay.<br>
<br>
So for under $20 you can get it going.<br>

<div>My target is < $20 for sure, but I'll have to see what I can
do first :)</div>

There is the CM19A which is the same but usb. Not as easy to get going
in linux, but still works. I have not used it however. But it also runs
for about $10 shipped on ebay.<br>
