[mythtv-users] PVR150, LIRC, & DCT Box

Hello all,

I'm running a PVR150 (not MCE) card with the ir blaster that came with it to 
control a DCT2000 series cable box from Comcast in Denver. A couple months 
ago I got the system to respond to the mythbox's commands, but have since 
rebuilt it, and haven't had any luck. I'm using the default codes generated 
for the blaster from lirc (0_0_KEY_POWER, etc.) and haven't gotten it to 
work again. It's really odd since it triggered a response when it did work 
with the 0_82 codeset previously.

I can't get the DCT2000 remote codes to work either. I used KnoppMyth to 
install, so I didn't manually configure lirc. Is there something I need to 
change in order to get the DCT2000 remote codes to be sent through the 
blaster that came with the PVR150? The blaster is working fine, it lights up 
when I send signals and whatnot, what other tests can I run?

When I choose the DCT2000 remote as the remote I want to use to send the 
codes (irsend SEND_ONCE DCT2000 1), it gives me the error: irsend: 
transmission failed. Why does the blaster remote work, but not the DCT2000?

Any input would be great, I've been struggling with this for a couple days 
now.
