low data port

[sparky1956_42]

Can anyone tell me if i can use the low data port on the back of my rca reciever DRD-420-RE.
Can it be used to hook up to my computer for satellite internet or do i need another hook up??:)

You can use the low data port with an external ReplayTV or TIVO (I have a ReplayTV). It allows the PVR to change the channel of you sat receiver before it starts recording. Also, when watching live TV, you can tune the PVR to a desired channel and your sat receiver will be signaled to change to that channel as well ... keeping PVR and sat reciver in synch. Works great, but can be a little slow.
