As far as I know, there are no set top boxes available directly from Dish
that
have a serial control for changing channels. I believe that it's possible to
get
a receiver off eBay to do that, but results are a little hazy.

It's not what you're looking to hear, but every other satellite and cable
provider
has better methods for interfacing with myth and/or tivo. I had no problems
at
all interfacing with serial to DirecTV and Comcast boxes.
