DirecTV IP Receiver

Minimal codeset for control of DirecTV IP Satellite boxes

The template 2159 (HR24 IP) can be modified with these codes.

Verify template Comm Method is Ethernet.

Device Data needs #69 TCP Port(int) set to 8080

I am unable to determine the range for the MAC address of the devices. I set the Plug & Play 'Range of MAC' From 111121700000 To 111121742000, Vendor Model ID = DirecTV HR-xx Satellite Box, and PNP Protocol = DHCP
