10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for the link. I did indeed follow
those directions. The difference between the MCE and non MCE remotes is that
the non MCE has the ir blaster connected to the card with a little mono plug
jack, whereas the MCE has the blaster connected to the USB IR receiver. The other
thing is that the driver that you need to compile lirc with is mceusb2 rather
than the stock prv150. Other than that it should not be to different.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Ok, so I am having
some issues…obviously &#61514; I have a 150 MCE card <br>
with an IR Blaster. I can get the remote to send commands and can see them <br>
on irw. I have compiled the cvs version of lirc, because I could not get <br>
your version to compile. I am running Fedora Core 6 [2.6.20-1.2944]. <br>
Should I try to compile the version you made for cecil? I have a Philips <br>
STB on Surewest cable. <br>

It is not loading the firmware that you made. How can I go about getting <br>
it to load. Where does it need to go? Do I need to send a command to ivtv <br>
to tell it to use a different firmware? <br>
<br>
When I send a command to the irblaster with irsend it sends successfully <br>
but It does not blink. <br>
<br>
Any help would be great!!! Thanks. <br>

I'm not sure what the difference is between MCE and non MCE, but I followed
this guide <a href="http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24">http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24</a>
to get my PVR-150 non MCE version working with the IR Blaster on Fedora Core 6
(2.6.20-1.2944.fc6). It works like a champ. My firmware is located
in /lib/firmware. Not much, but I hope that helps.<br>
