Anyone have an update on the D100 serial interface issues?

Anyone have an update on the D10 serial interface issues?

Post firmware 'downgrade". Has D* either fixed their problem or is there a workaround?

What is a D100? What problems are you questioning about??????????

Oops, D10. Too many numbers floating around

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.

There is no update still broke. D* is aware of it but that is all that can be said. Check this tread out.

lol, I was about to post that for everyone else

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

I'd be curious to know what you are using the serial port for.
I was thinking it was only there for debugging...

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 serial is the preffered method (or Firewire), and using IR blasters is an inferior method, not one worth considering at all. But I want to change to D* for my 'TV' broadcast service provider.
