Low speed data connector on RCA DXD series DTV receivers

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.direcpc,alt.satellite.tv,rec.video.desktop,rec.video.satellite.misc (More info?)

Hi all,

I have a DXD416RE RCA satellite receiver for DirecTV. I'm interested in
interfacing my PC with the receiver via the "low speed data" connector
(RS232 interface) available on the receiver. I downloaded an utility for
doing that but the utility says it is compatible witht DRD RCA receivers,
not with DXD ones. I googled the web looking for any info on DXD receivers,
but nothing is available. Does anybody has information on how to interface
with DXD receivers via low speed data cinterface? I need connector pinout,
and rs232 connection parameters.

Thanks in advance
