[mythtv-users] New Comcast DTA, grrrrrrrr.

[Craig Huff]

Sigh......  One of my DTAs died, so I went in to get a replacement from
Comcast.  They handed me a new kind that "won't work with the remote for
the old one" (problem #1), and doesn't have the 3.5mm jack in the back to
plug in an IR extender sensor (problem #2).

While I can deal with problem #2 by going old school and taping an IR LED
to the face, which means that problem #1 eliminates the risk of creating
problem #3: cross-talk with the other DTAs, I still need to figure out what
the right transmitter file to use from /usr/share/lirc/... when MythTV
needs to tune it to a channel.  It also means I'll need to extend my
change-channel-lirc script to use a different signalling ID for one DTA --
up until now they were all DC50Xu.

While I'm blindly trying to find what type it is by trying the various
likely prospects, or resorting to brute testing each and every one, and/or
searching on the LIRC website, maybe someone can save me time by telling me
what is appropriate for this DTA:

Arris Model HD-DTA-100u/4305/000
F/G No.: 581418-001-00
P/N: U61X195.00
U/A: 191-00101-06876-252
FCC ID: ACQHDUDTA
IC: 109AS-HDUDTA
Front panel label: HD-uDTA-M

TIA,
Craig.
