I have written a program which controlls the MythTV frontend from the DirecTV D11 STB remote. The script also has a channel change script to allow Myth to tune the STB.

The script runs as a deamon and handles remote keypresses passing them to the MythTV socket control port (6546).

Here is some code : http://www.rkroll.com/d11

The code is currently hardwired to run from my home directory /home/john. I'll fix this up RSN. There is a description of what the scripts do in the source. The d11-daemon key handler is checked and run as necessary by my crontab each minute. I've just gotten this working this morning so some improvements will be necessary going forward.


If anyone knows how to enable the DirecTV D11 to "see" the volume keys on its remote I'd like to here from you!

If anyone knows anything about the serial port of a Kreisen TV I'd like to hear from you!
