</div>I'm not using a lirc receiver at all - my backend is rarely used as a<br>
frontend, so I haven't bothered setting it up.<br>
<br>
I followed the guide at <a href="http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24" target="_blank">http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24</a> to<br>
get the hdpvr blaster going. I can't remember what code set I wound up<br>
using, but I think it was in the 130 range. I'll look it up when I get<br>
home.<br>

<div><br></div><div>to find the proper code, but none worked. I realize now that maybe my transmitter was not positioned correctlywhen I was trying this, it seems to need to be pretty close to the receiver, I have mine packing taped to the STB, just right of the (unused) "Record" LED. Perhaps with this positioning yours, or one of the other codes, would have succeeded. I will test if I get a chance, recording ongoing now, apparently we are in production, even though this is a loaner HD-PVR for now:-)</div>
