DirecTV Newest Update (Black Interface) IP Control?
I haven't delved into IP control of the HR boxes from DirecTV yet, I have always just gone with the tried and true IR.
It seems we are moving faster and faster towards IP control of all devices and I have been looking at some of the modules you guys have posted (Chip, you da man) and was wondering something.
What module on here (or elsewhere) is the go to for you guys for IP control of the new DirecTV interface? Did the newest update a month or so ago jack this module up?
Appreciate any pointers fellas.

Comcast (Motorola) cable box & HD-DA-2?
Does the HD-DA-2 'manage' the HDCP keys in the same way DM does, particularly as it concerns connecting two TVs to one Motorola cable box? Anyone tried this successfully/unsuccessfully?
Thanks,

Done two of them in the past week... refreshingly painless, even with a V24.

Hi all, We are expecting our first UFO remote within a week (?) or so.
(You all know how that goes sometimes!). After looking at the programming,
which is like the MLX-3, it seems like they are contradicting when talking
about the 'MenuBack' button in one place and in programming it is called
'More'. I would think of it as a 'More' button since its icon is a page
with a plus sign on it. It seems that it needs to represent more of a 'Go
Back' (MenuBack) function. Also, in one place it labels the buttons as
'Page Up/Down' for scrolling MLX-3 style, but then in programming it says
'Channel Up/Down'. So...which is it? Channel Up/Down would be nice, but we
still need scrolling buttons, right? All in true Crestron fashion, I
suppose. I am nit-picking a little and might be asking too much of the
remote, I admit. I can make it work, but am not sure that it will be clear
enough for our clients. Any thoughts or experiences?
TIA

Re: Anyone Got Their Hands On The UFO Yet?
Waterproof? I wonder if it going to be like the WPR-48. Came out as a waterproof remote but if it got water in it, it wasn't covered by warranty.

Re: Simpl Windows Freezes
SIMPL would not load the IP Table entry for an 8x that was defined in the program the other day. It loaded the iServer entry no problem, though. I kept thinking it was an 8x communication issue and never dreamed it would be SIMPL just dropping the ball. Chicago TB submitted a bug report on that one, so heads-up for what it's worth.

Hi Guys
I just posted a file to the forum entitled 'Yahoo News'..this module works like a glove! ... Just pulse the 'Check' signal and watch all the news data come flooding out in a readable format.
Its based on the 'Yahoo Weather Socket' module written by 'jptnindia' and I also gathered alot of inspiration from Chip Moodys Yahoo News feed Example. I'm glad to give something back to the forum...
