[mythtv-users] Serial-USB control of Directv H20

[Dave Badia]

I have an H20 I've been controlling via Serial->USB for 11 months
straight with no problems at all.

It wasn't clear from your original post whether this ever worked for
you?  Did it work at one point and suddenly stop?

The fact that the same hardware seems to work with your old H10 suggests
to me that the port on your H20 is flaky.  See if you can replace it or
swap it with another you already have, if you have more than one.

Flaky indeed :)  Yes, at one point (a few years ago), this was working
reliably with the H20.  A few weeks ago, I got a replacement H20 from
DirecTV, but when I hooked it up I had the exact same issues as I mentioned
above.
I then had other issues with my new H20 (some HD channels would come in even
though signal strength was good), so a tech came out to my house.  He said
the only thing he had in his truck was a H23-600, so we hooked that up.  The
H23-600 has been working just fine for about 5 days now without issue.  Same
PC, same cable, same everything
Why the multiple H20s units wouldn't work for more than a few hours still
remains a mystery
Thanks for the suggestions
Dave
