Free DCT700 from Fios
Verizon is giving DCT700 cable tuners to customers - anyone wanna try adding a serial port to this thing?

The DCT700 is a stripped down digital cable tuner.

The unit has no security screws.

I am wondering if anyone out there can think of a way to get a schematic or if anyone is knowledgeable enough to figure out the Tx and Rx locations to add a TTL console cable to this thing. My hope is to use these on a PVR with direct serial control rather than an IR blaster. I am also curious as to what else can be accomplished through console access.

I will be creating pics if anyone shows interest.

As for freebie access, FiOS customers should call (888) 505-3512 I convinced them I have 2 analog VCR's and they agreed to give me 2 DCT700's at no charge.
