Hi all,
I bought the cable off dtvcontrol.com and hooked it up to my backend.
I am having problems however as I don't believe I'm talking from my
serial port to the sat box.
Any idea how to verify if my serial port is working or not?
I do have ..
$ ls -lh /dev/ttyS*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Aug 2 16:57 /dev/ttyS0 ->
tts/0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Aug 2 16:57 /dev/ttyS3 ->
tts/3
and if I run
$ setserial /dev/ttyS3
/dev/ttyS3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
$ setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
they appear to be there.
However I get nothing back.
$ directv.pl box_type D10-200 port /dev/ttyS0 6
Error excessive retries
$ directv.pl box_type D10-100 port /dev/ttyS0 6
Error excessive retries
also grabbed satcannel v2 and tried it as well as directv.pl in my
mythsetup and it does not work.
Anyone have any ideas what steps I need to take to get this working?
Thanks,
