Well, FWIW once I removed my old multiswitch it (channel 498) started to work. Didn't troubleshoot down to the gnats arse to see if it was just the diplexer portion that was the issue. And you can't diplex anymore so remove those!

I hope they've not done another smacktard implementation IRT the serial interface -- now that I have my Sage box working again ... need to check that out (that I got the upgrade, not that it still changes channels -- which it does.) Thanks for the update on the update :D

A SageTV user has reported sucess with a 200 and I read where a ReplayTV guy got a 300 working as well. The tech sheet below shows the command syntax and other 'bits'. Granted, I don't have a -200 or -300 and I, as you have stated, have been lead to believe it was broken in those OE'd boxes...

Go D10-100; I've seen where the 200/300 are supposed to work but..... Give Value Electronics a call. They hooked me up with 4 D10-100s about 2 months ago. I use Sage as my PVR. In fact I have another PVR-500MCE due in today -- unless UPS SNAFUs the package like last time. I had...

Gaming over satellites would be painful; if the netcode of most games could handle it. Speed of light (physics) is the problem. You just can't game (well, unless it's solitare) over that sort of delay (>500ms).

What's with the outsourcing tirade? They're most likely outsourcing to a marketing firm not to Bombay. Besides, what about all the insourcing jobs that we get? Honda, Toyota, and Sony for example. Besides, what's so bad with jobs going over to the PI? Massive oceangoing vessels and...

LOL! I was going to say the same thing :D HDMI carries audio plus the DVI signaled video over a single cable. They can be wrapped in a point-to-point encyption scheme as well. But otherwise, it's same-same. In fact, if you have an HDMI TV and only have device I/O that's DVI, they make...

lol :D

Changing channels. I have a Home Theater PC (HTPC) based system where the video is centrally captured, timeshifted, commercial skipped, and stored, then is distributed to the various viewing locations; i.e. my HDTV, MBR, playroom, lab, etc. I do it now with Cox cable and the Moto STBs. Using...

Any idea if this STB will have either a async serial or a firewire interface?

lol, I was about to post that for everyone else :cool: That's the thread I saw it on a couple of weeks ago. From looking some more, it appears that there is a work around posted for SageTV (which is what I use) linkage

Oops, D10. Too many numbers floating around :D When the upgrades went out on the D10 they broke the async serial port interface. I am curious if anyone on this board knows where it stands.

Anyone have an update on the D10 serial interface issues? Post firmware 'downgrade". Has D* either fixed their problem or is there a workaround?

Ah, I'd only asked them about Inet data services ;)

The latest 'upgrade' to the '100 is more of a downgrade if you use an 'external' PVR. They 'changed' the Async serial port config and which hoses up most PVRs that use it. FWIW there appears to be a work-around for SageTV users.

Using a HTPC/PVR setup and have my own guide; getting ready to dump Cox for D* and am trying to get things sat. beforehand. Wondering if it is possible to just turn it off on any of the STBs, preferably any of the [cheap] D10-x00 models. Same for caller-ID; I provide that and don't want to see...

FIOS is also in Falls Church area (was the other test site with the Tx locale). I just hope I can get FIOS in Deep Creek :rolleyes:

Unless you just wanted to 'play' with it, you'll need to do more then add a tuner. I have a similar setup, in as much as I have an STB (cable). I have a DCT2000 STB and control it via the dsub RS-232 interface connected into my video server. I can watch and/or record from any of the...
