In Response To: Control-S dead time on Sat-A2 DSS (Bonzo Amin)

Since you seem to have a PC in the loop have you thought about using direct RS232 to control the Sat Rcvr. I am doing that with an RCA SAT rcvr. My understanding is that all of the sat rcvrs that are featured with Direct TV use the same codes and commands for control and responses. I am told this includes Sony. I started with the documentation for a Sony Sat rcvr and found it to work correctly on the RCA unit. I use only the codes i need for operation and stay away from others that might do bad things like erase eproms or change software. I can turn the unit on, I can turn it off, I can bring up meus, program guides, set channels, all cursor movement and selection. I think that is all I required. Works flawlessly.
