Pansat 9200 PVR / Rs232 Access

[wizard101]

In the spirit of testing and the frustration of Pansat 9200 PVR/ their struggles to get this functioning, I have completed some probes of the RS232 port. The goal is to not only download new firmware but also gain control of the basic functions, “record ,play change channel etc.”. We’ll see how this pans out.
I have attached a null modem cable (115200baud) and gained this output at receiver boot;

The last line is repeated indefinitely as a broadcast message, perhaps because of the “MODULE_SERIAL_FAILURE” error. So either the serial input has not been programmed into the firmware or there is a key sequence to activate this access during boot.
My hope is we can access this port as stated in the manual. So to all those HD lovers out there here is the first step let start testing.

So maybe I'm confused. I thought they did get it working but the PVR functions only show up when a e-Sata drive is connected. What is it your gaining access to?

 

[wizard101]

The pvr works when started manually but the timer and does not start on the programmed sat or channel. I hope is to have control of channel changes and record start through the rs232 port.

What are you using to get that output?

I am using a tera term and connected to COM1 and watching during the 9200HD boot process.
