Any luck yet? I just got in from a 4 day trip, or I would have replied
sooner. I'm not using the hd-pvr ir blaster as I had an existing
commandir unit which was working, so I can't help there. If you look at
the wiki/search the archives, there are instructions on getting the IR
in the HDPVR working.
The 6131 uses the exact same IR commands as must of Bell's earlier
satellite boxes, which is also the same (or close enough to make no
difference) as some of the dishnet boxes, so the following config should
work for you:

HTH,
