DirecTV D11 Change Channel MP PlugIn (1 Viewer)

[ca n vt]

Hey guys I know this is a long time coming but how should I go about troubleshooting this plugin? I have my D11-100 hooked up via a null modem to a serial/usb adapter. I enabled the plugin from with the MP setup and configured it but I don't seem to be getting any response when I try to change channels. It just hesitates for a second then right back to the same channel.

Has anybody gotten this working with the D11-100 and if so any tips or advice you could send my way would be much appreciated.

Having problems with D11-300

Hey guys I know this is a long time coming but how should I go about troubleshooting this plugin? I have my D11-100 hooked up via a null modem to a serial/usb adapter. I enabled the plugin from with the MP setup and configured it but I don't seem to be getting any response when I try to change channels. It just hesitates for a second then right back to the same channel.

I am getting the same thing on my D11-300. I am also getting the the following error in the Mediaportal.log file

[Info.][MPMain]: DirecTVTune: sending "set channel" command: 250 166
[Info.][MPMain]: DirecTVTune:Tune(): received: 141
[Info.][MPMain]: DirecTVTune:Tune(): Tune() failed! expected RETURN_VALID (240) but got 141

I am using an IO gear USB/Serial Adapter and Null modem cable. This same setup worked with Beyond TV and their Serial Changing pluggin.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Issue Fixed

After some trial and error, I got my problem resolved. My com port speed was set to 9600 instead of the 115200 that it need to be. I raised the speed, and all is well.

Glad to hear you have it fixed - I have to look at the code again and fix some bugs that have been reported to me so will be posting an update soon.

Has anyone heard of a way to control multiple DirecTV STBs using two serial/usb port solutions? I have 2 D11-300 boxes and two PVR-150 cards and would like to use them both. Has anyone tried this? If so, what do you have to do so MP knows which STB to change chanels on?
