Dishnetwork does not currently offer any receivers with a serial port or any other means of external control other than the IR or RF remote. They have a couple of older models (no longer offered) that have the ability to control another box via the X10 protocol but they use a smaller plug along the lines of a RJ-23 (telephone headset plug) not a 9 pin din.
Directv used to offer receivers with a serial port however even they no longer offer it. Both companies are going to push to have you use their own PVR.
