Control will also be a problem with IR as the boxes use all the same codes and need to be setup as AV1/AV2 if you have more than one. It's not like Dish where you can number the remotes. The boxes support RF but there are no devices that I know of that outputs the Directv RF codes so your only other choice is serial>USB. There's also a D* software beta program in place now that allows you to watch your HD DVR content from a PC.

Thank you for your post. Exactly what do you mean by HD DVR? What are my choices for an HD DVR? I know DirectTV has theirs, but theirs can only record 2 streams and there is no way of outputting the content to a DVD-R as far as I know.
