Need Help with FTA serial (Viewsat or Coolsat)

[skyview]

Greetings,

Can someone please list the steps or email me a guide of how to configure Sage to use the serial port of an FTA to change the channels remotely?





Thanks In Advance

Several MythTV users are using LIRC to send remote codes to the serial port to their FTAs. Can I configure WinSage to use the LIRC remote codes or this only a Linux thing?

I dunno about serial port usage. When I was looking into a FTA setup, I never got that far. I was more worried about getting a proper EPG channel lineup, because if I didn't have an EPG for it, it would have been pretty much useless. Have you checked to see if you can geta proper EPG lineup setup?

I thought about building up a custome EPG using one of the XMLTV plugins, but never got around to it.
