ah, thanks! now i have found the "ir blaster" section in the howto. can
you or someone else with a bd-v1100 talk some more about how exactly you
blast your box? i downloaded the lirc driver repository but i don't see
anything that corresponds to my box under the pioneer/ directory.
(perhaps this would better be asked of the lirc list?)

also, re: serial signal send, has anyone had luck getting a service
manual from pioneer on any given descrambler box (again, this might be
better asked of the lirc list)? it's not listed on their website or
anywhere else i can find, and i can't call their order line until
monday.
