Most DirecTV stbs can be controlled by a serial line operating at 9600 baud. The D11 only has a USB port, and operates at a higher speed with hardware flow control. To use it, you need a USB->Serial adapter, null modem cable, and a modified copy of the script to connect at the higher speed with flow control. Here is the writeup I did on it:

(This is mostly for the benefit of the mailing list archive since a few of you have asked about it - I said I'd post again when I fixed up the script, but I haven't had time, so I'm just posting it as-is, since it works. The reason I didn't put the details in this email is that I'll be able to update the wiki howto in the link if something changes, whereas I won't be able to update this message and it'll contain outdated information in archive searches for years to come. boo mailing lists.)
