I'm actually more concerned with sending right now, as I need to send a
signal to the receiver from the PC to control it.

Sadly, that isn't working yet, as I'm getting an irsend error, hardware
does not support sending.

I have a dish-change-channel-lirc.sh script which sets 
DEVICE="-d /dev/lircd"
REMOTE_NAME="dish211"

a typical command is 
irsend $DEVICE SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME select

I checked the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf script, and I had lost my dish211
channel changer settings.  I recovered those, and now I see a listing
for the dish211 remote name when I type irsend list "" ""

I still get the same 'hardware does not support sending' error when I try to send though.

Where to next?
