I recently purchased an HP Media Center Ed. FINTEK eHome Infrared
Transceiver (1934:5168). Using the mceusb driver, I have the
receiver part working just fine using Mythbuntu 11.04 (and for that
matter, I had the receiver working in Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10
as well.) But I have yet to get the transmitter to work. I can run
irsend without errors, but using a digital camera, I cannot see any
signals being output from the transmitter (obviously it doesn't
change my cable box channel either.) I get a /dev/lirc0 and a
/dev/lircd. I do NOT have lirc-modules-source installed. I know
that it is a Scientific Atlanta Cable box, because a different system
used a serial IR blaster to control the same cable box.<br>
<br>
My /etc/lirc/hardware.conf is:<br>
<br>
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf<br>
#<br>
#Chosen Remote Control<br>
REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)"<br>

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration<br>
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application<br>
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive<br>
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER<br>
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input<br>
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure<br>
#to leave this set to "false"<br>
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
<br>

Thanks for any help. </body>
