SerialChannel 3.0 expands the options for directv users and cable box users. Best of all it now runs in the background out of your way!
| The Preferences window |  |
|
| A. Directv. The Directv section contains options for connecting to a Directv box. | ||
1. Directv Box. Select your box from the pull down box. Directv section also contains two subsections. 2. USB Connect. If you are connecting your box to your macintosh by a usb to usb cable then check the USB Connect checkbox. 3. Ethernet Controlled. All new. Control your directv box through an IP address. With the SCecom device it is now possible to connect to the directv box trough an ethernet cable and control the box through an ip address. Even better, this option also supports most wired and wireless serial servers. With a wireless server you could control your box from any where. This is especially usefull when wanting to record but also want the mac in a different location 4. Turn Box off after recording. Automatically turn off the Directv box once Eyetv has finished recording.
5. OCRH. Checking this box will transmit 3 comands in succession. It will send the On command to turn the box on then send channel change command in command mode. It will wait for change confirmation and resend the command until it receives confirmation. Lastly it will attempt to hide the on screen display of the Directv box. 6. SD Channel. Checking this box is similar to OCRH but will select the SD channels instead of the HD channels. |
