Controlling directv through low speed data connection.
|
|
Hey guys I'm getting ready to build a mythtv box and have a question before I buy my materials. I have a sony directv reciever that has what looks like a db-9 connector labeled "low speed data" connection. I am guessing this is what I would connect the mythtv box to controll the reciever? If so would the other end connect to my serial port? Also is there any documentation on the directv/mythtv setup. Would the basic setup be like this. Take the rca output from the Directv reciever to the tv input on vid. capture card then from the rca output from the video card and take to the tv? Then a separate connection to control the Directv from the serial port to the "low speed data" connection port. Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
