[mythtv-users] USB->Serial for controlling DirecTV boxes

[Keith Wire]

Brad, I just finished setting up my USB > Serial > Home Built Custom Cable >
DirecTV using this cable.

I had to try three times before I got it to work.  Nothing wrong with the
IOGEAR cable, I just couldn't count the pins right when I was soldering <G>.

Does anyone know where to get older supported USB->Serial converters?  
I've bought several over the past couple of weeks. Apparently, the  
newer pl2303X ones don't work on the DirecTV boxes where the older  
pl2303 ones do. There's no way to tell which chip you have until you  
plug it in and I've already wasted a bunch of money on different ones  
that the wiki say will work including identical ones that I currently  
have working.

Thanks,

Brad
