Check your serial cable to the sat box? If you just patched up a cheap
phone line as a serial cable or have a loosely cimped or soldered
connector, that could be your problem especially if the cable is run
near other cables and noisy components. RS232 is very susceptible to
noise, which is why you should always uses shielded cable. Dropping a
single character is often indicative of noise, but if it's always the
first character then it could be a timing issue, like the UART on one
end or the the other isn't quite initialized fully before the first
character is sent.

I had a couple reports of occasional changes to wrong channel with
my script directv.pl with D10-100 boxes using the new firmware. I have
updated the script to query the channel and try again if you are using the
setup_channel command. New version at

It looks like the box takes the remote codes and return the ok response
but actually looses the first digit sometimes. This can also happen
with the D10-200.
