This is the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf:

#This configuration has been automatically generated via
#the Ubuntu LIRC package maintainer scripts.
#
#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.
#
#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration
#via additional include directives or below the existing
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or
#transmitter.

#Configuration for the Serial Port (UART) : Motorola Cable box transmitter:
include "/usr/share/lirc/extras/transmitters/motorola/dctxxxx.conf"
