[mythtv-users] Dish Discrete Power from Endaf Jones

[Michael Craven]

The link at the bottom is where I started. My LIRC config works fine if
I use the generic Dish lircd.conf that is at
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/. When I replace my working
lircd.conf with the one at the Wiki link you provided, I get the error
that was included in my original post.

After getting LIRC working with my USB-UIRT in the first place, I
assumed the hard part was over! :) All I'm trying to do is get the
discrete power on that is included in the Wiki lircd.conf.

Grrr... Any ideas?

(I.e. don't go from the thread, use the instructions, instead.)
