[mythtv-users] Frontend USB to TV RS232 serial?

[mythtv at derdev.com]

On a frontend without any available serial ports (RS232) and plenty of
available USB ports, is there an easy/obvious solution to connect the
frontend to an HDTV's RS232 serial port for power on/off control?

I see lots of USB to Serial converters but they don't seem to terminate in
the male serial connection needed to link up to the TV...  Barking up the
wrong tree here?

Also, any drivers needed to support such an animal?

Thx, D.
