I'm just starting with MythTv, so please be gentle :)<br><br>My setup:<br><br>kernel 2.6.17-10<br>Hauppauge PVR-150<br>Ubuntu Edgy Eft AMD64<br>ivtv-0.7.3 from source<br>lirc-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150 from here: <a href="http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24">
http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24</a> (further patched to get rid of an AMD 64 problem)<br><br><br>Everything is working well as far as the myth install, even got the xbox frontend working (mostly) well. However, I am continually unsuccessful in getting my ir blaster to work. I have a serial port blaster from
<a href="http://www.irblaster.info/">http://www.irblaster.info/</a> . After much trial and mostly error, I finally got it to emit IR signals. However, I was unable to find a codeset that actually worked with the Dish 311. I googled until my fingers were bloody, and tried every last Dish 311
lircd.conf that I could find, but it still didn't work.<br><br>Thinking that maybe it was a problem with the serial blaster, I stumbled upon Mark's Braindump, which purported to successfully use the ir blaster/receiver on the Hauppauge 150. After many attempts to get it working, I was finally successful (after I patched, on my own, the source). Once again, I get a blinking LED. I tried every codeset available to use with the Dish 311, but it still will not change channels/power off, etc.
<br><br>I tried using mode2 to see if I could capture the signal from my dish remote, but it doesn't show any keypresses. Upon further reading, it seems that it might be an issue with the Hauppauge receiver being incompatible with the Dish remote. I don't have another non-hauppauge receiver, and I can't solder (well, never have anyway).
<br><br>I also have tried changing the built-in codeset of the Dish receiver. I started at 1, and now I'm set to 9.<br><br>Anyway, I am *so close* to getting this going. WAF is a frequently-tossed-about term here, but I'm dealing with a HAF. Right now, he's totally not appreciating! He says: "I told you we should have bought a TIVO."
<br><br>Please help me prove to him that Myth does work and is way better than a TIVO.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Allison<br>
