RE: Advice/methods needed - controlling sat radio channels

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah fantastic!

I've got 14 serial ports - only just added two more but I've used them all
already!

Do I need a Sky gnome - or is this data freely available to any connected
device? Only slight difficulty for me is it's all in hex.

I'd plan on using the MainLobby genericdevice serial plugin - hex version
is not out yet though.

Thanks,

Paul.
