RS-232 on MPEG

Es gehen einige Geruechte rum man koenne ueber die RS-232 Schnittstelle
eines MPEG-Receivers sein Verhalten grundlegend veraendern. Stimmt das?
H. Goener, D-Saarlouis

There are some stories that you can influence the basic´s of a MPEG receiver
via the rs 232 port?

Dr.Dish:
Nein, diese Schnittstelle eigenet sich nur zur Steuerung des Receivers.
Grundlegende Aenderungen erfolgen ueber das flash-mem, so wie es z.B. die
Firma Bakkers in LN tut, um die d-box wieder fuer Multichoice
gesellschaftsfaehig zu machen.
Allerdings kann schon einiges ueber das Service Menue erreicht werden (Radio
99 Radio Menue). Eine umfangreiche Dokumentation dieser Funktionen gibt es
Anfang 97 in TELE-satellit und auch in der Dezember-Sendung von drdish@tv.

No, this port is used only for control of the mpeg-receiver. Serious changes
of the behaviour are made inside the flash-mem, which will be exchanged by
some companies (Bakkers Electronics in the Netherlands) in order to let the
german d-box (which is the cheapest european digital box) work on the
Multichoice package (Benelux) and Telepieu (Italy).
A lot can be done inside the service menue (radio 99 radio menue). A full
documentation I will publish early 97 in TELE-satellite magazine and also in
the december show of drdish@tv.
