[mythtv-users] DirecTV HTTP Server

[Steve Harrington]

Ran a port scan this morning of all my devices and noticed on my DirecTV H23
boxes there's now some web commands that can be run on port 8080.

To access, put in a web browser
http://directv_receiver_ip:8080/info/getOptions

To change a channel, put in
http://directv_receiver_ip:8080/<http://directv_receiver_ip:8080/info/getOptions>
/tv/tune?major=chan_num

The functions return the data in JSON format.

I'm probably going to write a wrapper program to change channels using this
instead of my serial port if it proves reliable and DirecTV doesn't take it
away.  I think this is fantastic.

Hope others find this neat.
Steve
