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.

    I've no idea if this is possible or in the works but I am wondering if the IPTV part of TVServer could be upgraded to support M3U8, HTTPS, HLS or whatever is needed for newer IPTV connections?
