[mythtv-users] Live TV with DCT2000 cable box and IRBlaster...

[Ray Olszewski]

A comment and question on this.

The comment: Debian-Sid uses the name "irsend" for the program "rc". No 
indication why, though in a Unix/Linux context, "rc" has another common 
meaning.

The question: where does one get the Perl script? The Myth HowTo says this:

         "See contrib/channel.pl for the actual file. Copy it to 
/usr/local/bin/".

Where is "contrib/channel.pl"?

(Robert - I've suggested before that this is a style problem that pervades 
the HowTo -- specficiation of relative paths with insufficient context to 
deduce the absolute path. In this instance, I can't even determine from 
context if I should be looking for a path on my host or one on the MythTV 
Web site, or perhaps even on the LIRC Web site.)
