Carlos, did you ever get this problem with your script sorted out? I just got
my IR200L today and am itching to try it.
Also has anyone tried using lircmd from the lirc package to control the
DCT2000 digital cable box? There is an ir command file for the dct2000 box on
the lirc site. Assuming lirc can be configured to work with the ir200l, this
seems like it would be the simplest solution.
