These are the DirecTV receivers that I have personally tested. This is not a comprehensive list - there are numerous other receivers that will work. One notable exception are the DirecTV receivers with integrated TiVo (Philips DSR6000, Sony T60, Hughes GXCEBØT, etc). They have a serial port, but do not support control of the receiver via that port.

* Select "New Command Set" from the system menu - only for the new RG series RCA receivers.
** Also sold as the Memorex MSD5000 and Optimus 5100 (Radio Shack). Communication with these receivers is unreliable.
