I have a RCA DIRECTV set top box -- model DRD523RB. I'd like to control it using a serial cable and scripts.<br>However, I'm receiving conflicting info. as to whether this box may be controlled via serial cable.<br><br><a href="http://www.dtvcontrol.com/index.aspx?content=cable">
http://www.dtvcontrol.com/index.aspx?content=cable</a> states that the "script ... should work with RCA boxes"<br><br>However, the table found at <a href="http://www.dtvcontrol.com/index.aspx?content=compat">http://www.dtvcontrol.com/index.aspx?content=compat
</a> states that the "compatibility" of the script with the DRD523RB is questionable.<br><br>Has any one had success controlling RCA's DRD523RB DirecTV set top box via serial?<br><br>Any advice as to whether I should I skip serial and move-on to IR control would be appreciated?
<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Preston<br>
