I have a Motorola DCT2244 but I don`t seee the seria port. How can I install the DCT.exe? How did you do? Do I need a serial port or internally? Thanks for you help..

I finally gave up and installed Sage v6 hoping this would solve the problem. Now when I select MultiDCTTuner Sage crashes and shuts down. I have logging enabled but it never gets to that point. Does anyone have any ideas?

For the time being I went back to using USB-UIRT to slowly change the channels.

Thanks

I had the same problem. Just fix the logfile path in MultiDCTTuner.ini. This plugin was written so long ago, and the default Sage directory has changed. After the path correction, it still works great for Sage v6.6.2.

Setting up more than one DCT STB takes some more work though. Read the instructions carefully, and get familliar with the sage.properties file!
