[QUOTE="rusten, post: 427, member: 10303"] I agree with the above poster. Based on AV forums, it appears the most common receiver used with PVR devices stands as the Satellite Receiver. I personally use a DirecTV DVR (DTV w/integrated Tivo); however, I would prefer to eventually go entirely with XBMC as endpoints and a MediaPortal as the centerpiece PVR. In the case of DirecTV, there is a serial command set that works similar to an IR blaster. BeyondTV (mentioned by the above poster) also supports this serial command set. This should also go in the "Feature Request" section, because I'm essentially suggesting the tremendous value of integration this serial communication to control DirecTV boxes. If the official developers need a DirecTV box to test this, I would be willing to donate one. Thank you in advance, -Rusten [/QUOTE]
