<DIV>Which receiver did you build? I see quite a few listed on the lirc page.</DIV>

I build the homemade <BR>receiver and added the transmitter diode to it (about 10 parts) and it <BR>works great. The lirc_sr module is locked at one frequency. This hasnt <BR>changed in the last 18 months and I dont see it ever. There are 2 things <BR>you can do. 1. Fix lirc_sir or 2. Build your own blaster.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Stuart Felenstein <STUART4M@YAHOO.COM><BR>Sent by: mythtv-users-bounces@mythtv.org<BR>01/05/2004 07:06 AM<BR>Please respond to<BR>Discussion about mythtv <MYTHTV-USERS@MYTHTV.ORG><BR><BR><BR>To<BR>Discussion about mythtv <MYTHTV-USERS@MYTHTV.ORG><BR>cc<BR><BR>Subject<BR>[mythtv-users] Help:Act200L / SA3100 : I've read the backposts<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>I'm trying to get the Actisys 200L blaster working with my <BR>Scientifc Atlanta 3100.

A <BR>whole list of carrier frequencies are defined in lirc_sir.c, including the <BR>much noted 57000 and up.<BR>So, if someone can explain to me why would this be the issue?<BR><BR>Everthing seems to be working fine on the cable box remote -> actisys. <BR>Meaning I can do an irw, albeit it's slightly weird as directly pointing <BR>it seems to not work, but holding the remote and beaming over the top of <BR>the blaster picks up the codes just fine.<BR><BR>irrecord is slightly bizarre but it does allow me to define buttons and <BR>records them, creating the file for lircd.conf. Using rc commands and <BR>change_channel.csh I can see the red light working inside the blaster, so <BR>no problem there. Pointing it at the cable box is where it all seems to <BR>fall apart. <BR><BR>I know about the distance issue (blaster to box) and
I've experimented <BR>with no success.<BR>Has anyone got this combination to work ? If it's truly a frequency issue <BR>with lirc_sir then I don't understand why it can't be fixed (yes I would <BR>take it up with the lirc people). Windows aka. girder or snapstream or <BR>top100tv all pick it up and configure it just fine. <BR><BR>Last comment, and this isnt meant to be rude , please no "build your own <BR>transmitter" suggestions. I'm well aware of that option but seeing as how <BR>Lirc supposedly suppport the blaster, it should be relatively easy to <BR>accomodate similar types of cable stb's.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>Stuart<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>mythtv-users mailing list<BR>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<BR>http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>mythtv-users mailing list<BR>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<BR>http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
