[mythtv-users] DirecTV -- Satellite Serial Port -- How can I build the cable?

This is my first time posting to this mailing list...  MythTV looks simply
INCREDIBLE and I'm very much looking forward to using it.

At first, I thought this wasn't possible... but you can control your satellite
receiver (channels) from your PC by using a serial cable?

My receiver (an RCA, I forget model) does indeed have a "low speed data port" so
all I need to know is how to build the actual cable.

I did try searching the mailing list archives, but I couldn't really find
anything.

Any help would be greatly appriciated!
