It would be really cool if MP could take advantage of using the serial port to change channels when support for cable boxes comes along. IR Blasters suck.

Why IR Blasters suck
They do not reliably change the channel on cable boxes. When using the IR blaster with my TiVo, I missed more shows. Once I switched over to the serial port, no problems. The channel gets where is needs to be every time. With my Media Center, same problem. Channel doesn't always change.

Serial control is a must imo
I concur with this request. Channel changes via serial control never fail. There are two sets of serial control protocols for DirecTV receivers. Resources the devs may be interested in:

Looking forward to either seeing this implemented directly or via send messages to girder..
