Serial port on a Natsat/Pansat 1000 receiver, how do I use it?

How do I use the serial port on my Pansat/Natsat 1000 unit? Any ideas.

Thanks

well it depends on what you want to use it for. I think it is only meant to update the firmware on your device by either hooking it up reciever to receiver or by hooking it to your computer and sending it that way. I think it can also be used to send channel lists back and forth so you don't need to scan on every pansat you have if you have more than one hooked up to your system.

I don't believe it can be used to change channels through a tivo like you can with a DBS receiver and the included tvio DSS-Serial cable.
