[mythtv-users] OT: DirecTV serial adapter

All,

  In my experimentation, I have purchased a USB serial adapter.  It
works, but after a day or two it stops responding. I can resolve this
issues by rebooting the receiver or unplugging the USB device and then
reconnecting it.

I did not buy one the ones recommend here:

But it is a prolific chipset.  I was wondering if this is the expected
behavior, and if I should go ahead and purchase one of the ones listed.

Thanks!

Jason
