Hi Geoff,
I'm in a similar situation as you. I've got a Samsung SIR-75
DirecTV box (non-HDTV) that I've been trying to get working for a few months now. I'm using the Actisys IR blaster as well.
I found a script for a similar Samsung DirecTV model (SIR-300W)
that came in the Lirc remote config bundle. This gave me some hope since
I have the SIR-300W as well, and the remotes are identical as well as interchangable. Unfortunately, irw showed nothing when using the Lirc remote script.
Then I tried the irrecord route (like you did), but only a button or two actually shows up (like you).
My plans from here:
* Do a sanity check on the Actisys - try to get it to send
commands to something else (TV, whatever)
* try lirc-0.7.0pre6
* Recompile lirc with debug, submit to the lirc developers, and pray that someone actually has the time/interest to look into it
Sorry I don't have any solutions, but at least you're not alone :)
I posted here awhile ago on this issue, and someone said that they had it working.
(Just do a search on my posts to find it)
Dave
