Your questions have been answered in your other post. Directv D10 is the newest receiver all others are at least three years old made by Hughes RCA & Phillips and maybe a couple of other old manufacturers.
I appreciate your help. I am looking to bid on some boxes on ebay. Mostly D10's. You said it is the Newest box with this port. I am shopping so I am trying to find out if it is the ONLY box with Low Speed Data port. I found some Technical Bulletins yesterday on KVH.com The first bulletin dated 2/28/05 ( also about the time I purchesed the RV) says that the D10-200 and D10-300 have LSDP that are not enabled.
The next bulletin dated 4/7/2005 shows how to update the software and restore the port functionality.
The third bulletin dated 6/28/05 says the latest software updates are affecting the LSDP functionality. Customers should disconnect the low speed data cable until they find a fix for this issue.
The last bulletin is the kicker! its dated 8/23/05. it says the permanent solution is that KVH wil supply Directv customers using a D10 receiver with a RCA DRD435 receiver which has a fully functional Low Speed Data Port.
So this is why I m trying to find one of these RCA boxes on eBay, and also trying to find if there are any other receivers with this LSDP. Thanks
Well I have't bid on a box on eBay, because a friend of mine gave me a RCA DRD420RE box. It has a low speed data port. Does this port work on this box? I don't want to activate a box untill I'm sure it will work the dish.
Does the box even work? You will have to activate it and find out it is about a year older than a DRD435 and should have a working low speed data port.
