I have managed to get mythtv to change the channel via a serial cable
hooked up to the cable box, in my case a Motorola DCT2000. It runs the
changechannel.py script supplied with mythtv. But here is the rub: the
channels change super slow- like 8 seconds slow. It works, but is
unacceptably slow. <br>
<br>
I believe my serial ports are configures correctly comparing the output of <br>
<br>
dmesg | grep ttyS<br>
<br>
and setserial -g /dev/ttyS1<br>
<br>
These settings agree with the settings in the bios. In other words I believe the serial port is configured properly. <br>
<br>
Anybody have any idea what is not right?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>--Tony<br><br>The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.-Plutarch
