I'm running Myth 0.20 on Fedora Core 5. I am controlling one DirecTV set top box through my serial port using the directv.pl script and the low speed data port. I ordered a USB->Serial converter to try to control a second DirecTV STB . I plugged in the cable and loaded the modules, but I get a TIMEOUT error whenever I try to manipulate the STB.
