[mythtv-users] Problems with DirectTV and RCA DRD435RH

[Nathan Allen Stratton]

Anyone having any problems with DirectTV and RCA DRD435RH boxes? I bought
4 of them on ebay because I could control them over serial port unlike the
boxes DirectTV sent my. They work great about 70% of the time, the other
30% they don't give me "Searching for satellite signal. Please stand by."
I odd part is it has nothing to do with my signal, since it happens to
different boxes at different times with other boxes have 99% signal. Also
the fix that almost always works is power cycle ling the boxes.

Is there another serial controlled box I should look at?
