[mythtv-users] DCT700 IR Blaster

[Daryl McDonald]

I'm in the middle of setting up my STB and LIRC, I've been following the
link at "
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script"
and when I get to the test the blaster part this is what the terminal
returns...

irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE DCT700 info
irsend: unknown remote: "DCT700"

The emitter remained unlit throughout the test, I'm guessing that myth
doesn't know what serial port I'm using? I've configured LIRC in Myth
Control Center, by enabling an IR transmitter and selected "Serial port
(UART) Motorola cable box". What have I missed? Also I have not configured
nor do I use a remote for live TV viewing, I just need to control the STB
for recording. I run a single box front and back end connected to a TV via
HDMI, so live TV is very simple.
