<p>Folks,</p>
<p> Feeling a but dumb on this one, thought I would ask for advice on the ir-blaster side of this thing.</p>
<p>I have a mceusb IR-Receiver and Blaster which I am using with lirc v0.8.7-88 rpms from atrpms :</p>
<p>Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0471:060c Philips (or NXP) Consumer Infrared Transceiver (HP)</p>
<p>I am trying to use the ir-blaster side of this to control a Pioneer Voyager 3000 STB from Brighthouse.</p>
<p>The device works fine for input, and when I do irsend, it says it sent (and logs) the information, I can see the little light flash, however it doesn't actually do anything on my STB.</p>

<p>Question, how does irsend know what freq's, protocols, etc to send ? I mean, just like you have to "program" a remote to work with different equipment, isn't there something you have to do to get irsend to know "how" it should speak to this STB ?</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance,</p>
