</span>Some of the newer DirecTV boxes allow channel<br>
changing via HTTP requests (scripts are on the<br>

My directv box had a way to connect to the serial port of my mythbox (may have been an adapter) and I could change channels that way. What ports does your stb box have? <br></div></div><br></div></div>
