</div></div>That error message normally means that lirc can not find a<br>
configuration with a "name DCT700" line. So where did you put the<br>
file with your DCT700 definition that you coped from that web page?<br>
Does your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file point to it?<br>
<br>
This is what I have in my lircd.conf:<br>
<br>
#This configuration has been automatically generated via<br>
#the Ubuntu LIRC package maintainer scripts.<br>
#<br>
#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or<br>
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.<br>
#<br>
#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration<br>
#via additional include directives or below the existing<br>
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or<br>
#transmitter.<br>
<br>
#Configuration for the Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)<br>
remote:<br>
include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"<br>
<br>
#Configuration for the Microsoft Windows Media Center V2 (usb) : SkyTV<br>
New Zealand transmitter:<br>
include "/usr/share/lirc/extras/transmitters/skynz/general.conf"<br>
<br>
The last include line points to where I have the configuration file<br>
for my transmitter.<br>
