Here is some useful information for channel changing with DirecTV:<br>
<a
href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Controlling_DirecTV_Set_Top_Box_%28STB%29_via_USB_or_Serial">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Controlling_DirecTV_Set_Top_Box_%28STB%29_via_USB_or_Serial</a><br>
<br>
The channel change script is in the External links section:<br>
<a href="http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml">http://www.pdp8.net/directv/directv.shtml</a><br>
<br>
I also have a DirecTV H21 using HD-PVR and control the H21 using USB-to-serial
cable. The HD-PVR is using the 1.5.6 firmware. No problems here
running it on a slave backend. My H21 is still set to output everything
at 720p though.<br>
