[mythtv-users] Re: Good guide for using IR-Blaster and LIRC on a cable box

[jds]

andy,

see my writeup and script at
http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html
or the mirror at
http://www.mmdsi.com/mythtv/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html

don't get worried by the title of the document -- as you will see, by
changing a single file the writeup will work perfectly for your moto
DCT2200.

regards,
jds
