I have an odd Peice. Its a Key Digital Digital Magic Video Processor STB 12 channel DA Model KD-DH12. Its basically a tuner that I can use to distribute out television viewing to monitors that dont have tuners built in.

I am having issues getting MSC to do this right. I can hyper terminal into unit and it works fine. However, when i send serial commands thru MSC, its flakey. It used to work part time, now it doesnt.

i am getting feedback on commands sent most of the time. I am ASSUMING to use a space, i use \x20 although not needed in hyperterm.

Anyhoot, when I input an antenna change command to change input to ANTENNA 1, i use this command (the 3 is the input for antenna 1):

input\x203

I get this feedback:

>\x20^\x0D\x0A^\x0D\x0A\x00^^\x0D\x0A\x00Unrecog12>\x20^\x0D\x0A\x00^\x20\x20\x20\x20^\x0D\x0A\x00Unrecognised\x20command\x20statement\x0D\x0A\x00DH12>\x20\x0D\x0ADH12>\x20^\x0D\x0A^\x0D\x0A\x00^^\x0D\x0A\x00Unrecognised\x20command\x20statement\x0D\x0A\x00DH12>\x20\x0D\x0ADH12>\x20DH12>\x20^^\x0D\x0A^^\x0D\x0A\x00^\x20^\x0D\x0A\x00Unrecognised\x20command\x20statement\x0D\x0A\x00DH12>\x20\x0D\x0ADH12>\x20DH12>\x20Unrecognised\x20command\x20statement\x0D\x0AUnreco

obviously something is wrong. Anyone have any idea? Since i am gettnig feedback, that means my serial commands are actully making it to the key digital piece right?

Thanks.
