Greg - I'm playing with the Perl scripts I downloaded from SourceForge - <span dir="ltr"><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/myblaster/?source=dlp">http://sourceforge.net/projects/myblaster/?source=dlp</a><br><br>
I haven't been able to get the MyBlaster to change channels or power the dc box off/on, but executing either of the two perl scripts included in the above link does light up the serial blasters LED.<br><br>Posting the script and e-mailing it to me would be great.<br>
<br>Thanks<br></span><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 12:24 AM, Greg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:greg12866@nycap.rr.com" target="_blank">greg12866@nycap.rr.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

My Cabco, Eastlink Cable, is terminating its analogue cable service as<br>
of next year. The stock DC box they provide is a Motorola DCX700. I've<br>
connected the DC box to my Haupauge 250 capture card, plugged the IR<br>
Receiver cable that came with the 250 into the IR IN port of the<br>
DCX700. I've placed a serial IR blaster connected to COM1 of my Myth<br>
box, directly in front of the DC's IR cable receiver.<br>
<br>
I've been following the instructions MyTHTV.ORG Wiki Page - section 5<br>
which doesn't rely on LIRC (I don't need to use the H'page remote from<br>
here on out)<br>
<br>
The Serial IR Blaster's LED lights up when I execute either of the two<br>
SourceForge serial IR Blaster perl scripts, so I know the IR blaster<br>
does work. I've also checked the DCX700's diag menu and it detected that<br>
the IR receiver is attached. But so far no luck getting the mythbox's IR<br>
Blaster to have an effect on the DC Box.<br>
<br>
I'm running M'Buntu 10.04 LTS<br>
<br>
Any advice on how to make this thing work? Ideally I'd love to hear<br>
from any Myth users who subscribe to Eastlink's DC service, but any<br>
advice at all would be really appreciated.<br>
<br>
Drop me a line to sudanmas at gmail dot com or the mailing list.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

What script are you using with the MyBlaster? Have you ever had it working? I have one and it takes me less than 2 minutes to get it to work... I am using the MyBlaster.pl script written by William Munson.... If you need it I will e-mail it to you..<br>
