[mythtv-users] Low speed data port

[tarek Lubani]

The serial-port control of receivers is certainly not restricted to myth, 
so I would recommend putting a little bit of time into looking around to 
see what others are doing.. With regards to Hughes, they are good-quality 
boxes, but in my very limited experience, I have never seen discussion of 
serial control of hughes boxes.. Sony- and RCA- brand boxes seem to have 
tonnes of support, so why not opt for one of those?
