I'm not an expert, but I'll give it a try; my daughter's
comcast system has the DC50X, so I'm a little familiar
with that guide. What part of the procedure did you
stop on? It sounds like the remote-control works; I
assume you confirmed it with irw?<br>
<br>
If every button-press of the remote results in something
coming out of the transmitter, you might be right about
the commands being mixed up; which would point to this:<br>
<br>
/usr/share/lirc/transmitters/pace/pace.conf<br>
<br>
or, this<br>
<br>
include /usr/share/lirc/transmitters/pace/pace.conf<br>
<br>
You mentioned irrecord. What are your using it for? I
thought irrecord was used to capture commands, but don't
you already have that? By the way, I recall reading
that the DC50X used a whole different protocol than
traditional cable boxes, but the guide doesn't seem to
be concerned about that.<br>
<br>
<br>
If interested, here's the Tivo thread that discusses the
protocol:<br>

I missed something; when you press a button on your remote, does
anything come out of the ir transmitter on the USB-UIRT box? On my
UsbMce box, it has an external blaster extension that's taped onto
the cable box and flickers red when I press a button. Either you
see the LED flicker of the external blaster, or use a digital camera
to see the ir signals. If you see a flicker, we talk driver (i.e.
protocol) and config; if not we look upstream.<br>
<br>
...and yes, remote control issues are very irritating.<br>
<br>
These are similar to the box I have:<br>
