<div>Thought I'd share this with the list....</div>

<div>I have a d10-200 directv box that I use for analog capture. 3 years ago I used to use a small c program to change the channel on my d10-200 STB. Directv then pushed a new firmware out that made changing channels under 100 break with that script, and I had to move over to the well known
directv.pl script. This script worked well, but took a while to change the channels, making live TV unbearable, but recordings were fine.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway - I tried the c program again, and it works. changing channels is pretty much instantaneous, and the directv OSD never shows up, which is an added bonus. live-tv is watchable again. </div>

<div>Anyway, here's the original post with instructions & source code:</div>

<div>Keep in mind that at some point, directv could push firmware that breaks it again. For me though it's worth the risk.</div>

It might be different for others, but in my case it didn't change the channel any faster.
