Is the STB from pace?

I had similar problems integrating a pace STB that was using 115Khz into an AMX setup. The only solution we found was to get out the soldering iron and hack in a little PIC micro controller after the IR reciever and use it to relay commands sent over RS232.

I think i've still got the assembler for the micro and the command strings, email me if you are interested.


Cheers... Scott

Hi, 
I have a digital cable box I want to use with MythTV. Only problem is 
changing channels. I know I need an IR blaster type of thing, but does anyone 
have any recomendations on which one would be suitable?

The cable box is supplied by NTL and uses an IR system based on IRDA (but not 
IRDA) patented by TWTV (two way TV) and doesnt respond to the normal 
modulated 38Hz carrier signals (it actualy pulses at 115kHz -apparently) This 
is a bit of a show stopper for my and probably a lot of UK users

thanks for any suggestions

Martyn
