Beyond TV Serial Port / Low Speed Data problems

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I'm using a D10 DirecTV tuner along with Beyond TV. It's got a serial
cable connection from Com1 to the Low Speed Data port on the D10 tuner.
Prior to uploading the new version of 3.7.4, I was able to control my
tuner from my PC, allowing auto recordings to take place.
After the 3.7.4 install, it no longer does the auto tuning. I've tried
going back to the previous version of Beyond TV but no luck. However,
snapstream online stated to upload the DirecTV controller program "just
to see if it works".
The answer is yes. It works.
So if the DirecTv program works but yet the Beyond TV version doesn't,
isn't that a possible driver issue? a programming issue? or maybe a
conflict on COM1?

If anyone has any answers on how to fix this issue so I can get back to
auto recording, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
