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

def log(word)

   logTime = Time.now
   timeStr = logTime.strftime("%d-%m-%Y  %H:%M:%S  ")
   $logFile.print( timeStr + word + "\n" )
