Hello,

I previously had this working flawlessly with the SAME EXACT HARDWARE and
running ubuntu 11.04 mythtv .24 and hdpvr and somewhere it broke.

I am running keyspan usa-19hs (pl2303 ) chipset with null modem cable
connecting to directv h23-600 box.   I am using version 1.10 of the
directv.pl script.   I have the script set to call /dev/ttyUSB0 and baud
was set to 9600.

I also set the script and port permissions.

I am upgraded to  ubuntu 12.04 and mythtv .25 to try and fix issues with
hdpvr and it still has issues.  i pressed the red button for reset on the
directv box many times.

Output of lsusb

Bus 004 Device 007: ID 0557:2008 ATEN International Co., Ltd UC-232A Serial
Port [pl2303]

output of dmesg

[14526.668061] usb 4-4: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ohci_hcd
[14526.883786] pl2303 4-4:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[14526.916892] usb 4-4: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

permissions

alexvd at VanDeusen-Server:~$ ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Oct  9 22:33 /dev/ttyUSB0

mythtv user is part of the dialout group.

I have two boxes with the two cables and adapter and neither works
anymore.   They used to work perfectly.  I am going to crazy trying to fix
this for days.
