No, but I am using the Hughes HDVR2 DirecTiVo. The serial port on the
back isn't enabled for channel changing that I have been able to find.
BTW, on standalone TiVo's the serial port is for outgoing channel
changing for a cable box (yes I know there are hacks to get a bash
prompt on that serial port).
In my case, I decided to buy an RCA DRD435RH off eBay and use a serial
cable from the myth box to control it. I posted links to the scripts
and cable building info here: http://thegeorges.us/mythtv/ .
