<DIV>I think a bunch of us might be in the same boat: wanting to manage our DCT2000 with a serial connection but the box not having a serial port. From this link provided, <A href="http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62212&perpage=20&pagenumber=1"><U><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62212&perpage=20&pagenumber=1</U></FONT></A> , it would appear that one might be able to use one of the 1/8" mini jacks to achieve this. Mine has three, labeled "Out of Band", "High Speed" and "IR" - just as seen on <A href="http://www.netcabletv.com/connect/pdf/DCT_2000_Front_Panel.pdf">http://www.netcabletv.com/connect/pdf/DCT_2000_Front_Panel.pdf</A> .</DIV>

<DIV>I don't suppose anyone knows which of these jacks to use and has made a mini jack to serial connector as described in the first link? </DIV>
