[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 315914, member: 83474"] Budda, Thanks for the information! I was struggling to get my Directv H21 & H23 receivers with paterson devices set up with a serial connection, and your information provided the key. I did have to make a few 'tweeks' to make mine work and maybe its because my recievers are a little newer. I played around with the directv.exe command line until I got it working, and ended up having to use the -key %2clear command instead of the channel command #CHANNEL OR *CHANNEL. Not sure why the regular channel command wouldnt work with my receiver, but I was just happy to get the -key command working. Here are the steps I followed, VERY similar to (and copied from) yours. Again, this works for the Directv H21 & H23 recievers with [URL="http://www.patersontech.com/"]Paterson Tech[/URL] serial to USB devices. For instructions on setting up the Paterson device visit the [URL="http://www.patersontech.com/"]web site here[/URL] . 1.) Download and install the IR Server Suite [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mce-replacement-plugin-165/ir-server-suite-version-1-0-4-1-a-33512/"]Here[/URL]. Choose the newer version 1.4.2 RC1. 2.) Install the IR Server Suite. I only selected the TV3 Blaster Plugin. I unselected everything else. 3.) Download directv.zip from GBPVR web site [URL="http://www.gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utility/DirecTVChannelControl"]Here[/URL]. 4.) Extract directv.zip to the directory of your choice. 5.) Open MP TV Server Configuration. 6.) Enable the plugin under plugins. 7.) Configure the TV3 Blaster Plugin (I selected 'localhost' on the pop-up, Ignore message about not being able to find 'localhost'.) 8.) Choose the STB setup button. 9.) Select the tab that corresponds to your directv tuner card. 10.) Check the box for pre-change command. 10a.) Check the box for Send select command. 11.) Highlight pre-change from the commands window. 12.) Below the commands window, choose Run Program and click the Set button. 13.) Navigate to the location of directv.exe for program. 14.) For parameters enter -box D10200 -port com3 -key %2clear (be sure to enter the correct port number.) 15.) Make sure that Shell execute is selected and choose Hidden. Thanks again Budda! [/QUOTE]
