Directv D10 Serial Control

[Wakecrash]

Anyone have luck controling Directv D10 Sat box via seria control?

If yes or no, could you report your specific model:
D10-100
D10-200
D10-300
D10-400

Looking on some TIVO boards, possibly 4 different manufacturers (reason for 4 different models) and only confirmed successful serial control is with the D10-100.

Can't remember if these links have the information you want but they may be worth browsing to you.

Thanks for the reply, if useful to anyone else.
The D10 with manufacurer code of 100 works fine.

I called directv and told them I understood that -200, -300, and -400 recievers do not support direct serial control. They could not guarantee which model would be delivered and agreed to credit my account so I could by locally. Apperently Circiut City and Best Buy sell the -100.

It took me 3 to 4 hours to get sagetv to control my d10-100 receiver. Basically, the wiring diagram at http://dtvcontrol.com did not work with my computer. I had to change the wires associated with pins 2 and 3.

That is, rather than using the diagram at http://dtvcontrol.com

DE9 4p4C
5 = Yellow
2 = Green
3 = Black

I had to use

DE9 4p4C
5 = Yellow
2 = Black
3 = Green

That said, the latter wiring allows sage to control my d10 box, but there are buttons using the dtvcontrol software that do not work.

That's very interesting. I just posted earlier on another thread, that I could not get Sage to control a D-10 due to the fact that it uses a newer control set, which uses different hex codes. What control dll are you using?

[griz8u]

I have no idea what dll I am using. Here are some random facts, hopefully one of them will answer your question. I am using the most recent version of sage (beta 2.2.6). I have not downloaded any STVs, and in the setup wizard I specified serial control from com1. If one of those random statements did not answer the dll question, tell me where to go to find out.
