I spent most of last night trying to get this to work.
I am using the MCE usb remote that I got with my tuner card to do the transmitting. The transmitter/blaster works great to control my cable box (motorola), however, I am having lots of issues getting this .conf to work. I have plugged the DTA directly into my TV for testing before trying to get it to work with MythTV.
I am seeing very strange results, like when I type "change-channel-lirc.pl 30", I see 3 come up, then get canceled, then 0 pops up. When I type a single "9", it generates between 0 and 3 "8"s. Most of the numbers seem to generate between 0 and 3-5 repeats, not always even of the correct number. I initially thought that it was a transmitter issue, and tried a number of things. I tried taping the blaster to the box and moving it around. I tried using the extender that came with the DTA, I even popped the extender out of the plastic shell and taped the blaster directly to it. Same results, although I got very poor transmission of codes at times.
Any ideas as to what I can do to troubleshoot this? When I issue `irsend LIST DC50X ""`, the output looks suspicious:
IRSEND: 000000001 1
whereas the other remotes I have all have the response as a longer hexadecimal code.
Not working for me
