See page 27 of this manual on how to change the remote control address on the receiver. (It's not your exact model, but all dish receivers have the same setup menus.) Note that it requires a working remote control to do this... ;-) <a href="http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/user_guides_and_manuals/510/Chapter2.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/user_guides_and_manuals/510/Chapter2.pdf</a><br>
</blockquote></div><div><br>If the procedure is "hold down the SAT button until the 4 buttons light up, then hit the new address, then hit pound, wait for the SAT button to flash 3 times, and finally hit record" then yeah, I've got that. :) Apparently I did it so many times last night it's now committed to memory.<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div>Yes, that's how to set the receiver to a new ir codeset. ;-) <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

And as previously noted, I used 1, 6 and 9 in my configuration (not sure why I skipped 3, but oh well! ;-) )<br>
<br>Then configure your channel-change scripts to match for each receiver.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>See my channel changing script goes off of codesets that look like "0167" and not 0-9. So I'm not sure what those 4-digit numbers represent, but I have a list of them that should work with Echostar receivers. But I don't mind switching out the whole IR thing just to get this to work.<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div>You'll need a 'remote' section in your lircd.conf for each of your receivers. Take a look at the page on the wiki for the relevant dish_ sections to add to your lircd.conf <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/DISHNetworkLIRCConfiguration">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/DISHNetworkLIRCConfiguration</a><br>

</div><div><br>Thanks! I'd really like to know about your IR blaster and your channel-changing scripts.<br><br></div></div></blockquote><div>I posted my channel-change scripts and relevant sections of my lircd.conf file to my site at this url: <br>
<a href="http://jartz.gotdns.com:8008/files/mythtv/lirc/">http://jartz.gotdns.com:8008/files/mythtv/lirc/</a><br><br>My scripts include a 'fix_audio" script as my system seems to be the victim of an ivtv bug that results in 'scratchy' audio about 1/10th of the time on my PVR recorders. The called script fixes this by switching the audio input about 2 seconds after the recording has started, and so far has fixed that issue 100%... (It was getting SO annoying!) -- Note that for some reason the v4l2-ctl utility that was installed on my FC8 Box must have been an older version and would only generate an error if I attempted to use v4l2-ctl while the tuner was open by Myth, but when i downloaded and compiled the latest tools from the ivtv website, the 'new' v4l2-ctl program worked perfectly. <br>
