[mythtv-users] DirecTV HTTP Server

[jmk]

Hi,

I've been using the DirecTV HTTP service for channel changing for the
past few weeks. Unfortunately, it seems to have died on me sometime this
past week. Connections to 8080/tcp either give a 403 (forbidden) or
simply drop the connection (which is the most frequent result). I've
bounced the box a few times with no improvement. I've also reconnected
my USB cable that I used for years and that's failing now (excessive
retry error).

My only guess at this point is that DirecTV fubar'd the box. It reports
that it was updated to 0x4440 on Tuesday 11/16 2:25AM. This corresponds
to when I started seeing issues. 

Has anyone else run into these problems? Is there a way to rollback
firmware on a H21 and then lock it at that version?

Thanks,
Joe
