Dan,
I've tried to use the Actisys IR-200L along with this guide
(http://members.cox.net/rwraithr/IRBlaster_Howto.txt). I figured I
could make my own config file (remoted.conf) because my model of stb
(Samsung SIR-TS360) isn't on the LIRC site. After getting to step 6 in
the howto, I fired up irrecord and the only buttons that irrecord could
catch were 0, 2, 6, the "dash" button and the "audio" button. That's
it! I was stuck.
FWIW, I also saw (but can't find now) that the method used in the how-to
above is outdated. Apparently, if I understood it correctly, you no
longer have to compile two different LIRCs.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Geoff
