DirecTVSerialControlCOM1

Ok, so I had a bit of a problem with a hard drive and had to re-install everything. I'm back up again, but I (nor Sage) can no longer change channels on my DirecTV box via the serial cable. This used to work just fine before I reinstalled.

Looking at the tuner setup, the last item just looks odd to me:

Tuner Control: C:\Program Files\Frey Technologies\Common\DirecTVSerialControlCOM1

Now, the path is correct, but there's no file with that name there. Not sure if there should be or not; I never really paid much attention to that item when things were working.

When I re-installed, I did try to preserve all my settings by copying over the install directory from the old HD onto the new drive before I did the install.

I'm using v2.2.8 right now, but on the old drive I had moved up to v3.0.7 beta. I initally installed that (v3 beta) on the new drive, but after this problem showed up, I rolled it back to v2.2.8.

Any of this ringing any bells with anyone? Any tricks in the .properties file I can use to get the thing to correctly find the serial port tuner (if that's really the problem)?

Please ignore the knucklehead that didn't think about resetting his DirecTV box by unplugging it for a minute....
