    This is pretty exciting!! My HD PVR arrived today - can't wait to get home and plug it in :) What SVN should I run??

    I currently use an IR blaster to change channels but I am happy to test initially without a blaster (or if someone can point me in the direction of RS-232 setup information I'd actually prefer to move to that method!!)

    I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to better quailty cable in MP :)

    Garry,

    Will the DirecTVTune plugin you wrote work in this HD-PVR testing scenario to change channels?

    Does it support multiple STBs? & TV Server 1 RC2?

    I have 2 COM ports available on my server PC. If you think your plug-in will work I'll pick up 2 null modem cables and 2 serial-to-USB cables to plug into my DirecTV H20 STBs (they only have the USB ports).

    I just found the old tvserver DirecTVTune plugin I wrote and used to use. It supports multiple STBs but I'll have to see if it works with newer receivers. I'll test it with a H21 in a few minutes.

    BTW - not sure if you're after another tester but happy to help however I can. Picked up a USB to serial converter on the way home so I can test that as well - although I have a foxtel (Pace) STB.

    Plugin sounce & binary is attached. I think it will work with your STBs.

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...
