[mythtv-users] problem with lirc, hd-pvr and pace DS831NS

[Yianni Vidalis]

Hi.
 
My Greek sat provider uses a variant of Pace's DS830 set top box (http://www.pace.com/global/products-capabilities/products/ds830/#tab400)
 
The system runs OpenSuSE 11.4 x86_64.
The problem is that I cannot control it with the ir blaster of the hd-pvr I have. I followed all the steps of the mythtv hdpvr wiki (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR). I installed the media_build dvb drivers (http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers). I installed lirc 0.9.0.
 
I can see the light blink during the execution of the http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/lmilk/send_power_new script in step 9, but there is no response from the set top box. (yes, the ir transmitter is on the stb's ir eye ;)
 
In /dev I have:
 
crw------- 1 root root 249, 0 Μάι  12 11:43 /dev/lirc0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 Μάι  12 11:43 /dev/lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd

My /etc/lirc/hardware.conf is:
 
TRANSMITTER="HD-PVR"
LOAD_MODULES=true
TRANSMITTER_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_zilog"
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

Is the stb not supported in lirc? Can I train the pc to talk to it? What more info should I provide?
 
I have not used lirc before - I control the pc with a cordless keyboard.
 
Thanks in advance for any help,

Yianni.
