<p dir="ltr">Thanks for that. I had been placing my
transmitter a fair bit back from the box, so I thought
maybe I need it closer. I tried your trick on using
SEND_START and moving the device around, right in front
of the face of the box. But still, no luck :-( </p>
<p dir="ltr">I also tried the other suggestion of adding a
delay (I tried 1 sec), but that also didn't help
(although I had tried that with the device further
away). I'll have to try playing with it some more when I
get some time (which is less and less often... We're in
the process of moving into the house, finalising the
wedding plans, and I bunch of other stuff. Unfortunately
it doesn't leave much time for the important things like
MythTV :-)) </p>

<div>Sorry to drudge up an old thread, but I've not had a
lot of opportunity to look into this over the last few
months. I tried moving the transmitter all over the place,
while it was busy sending the "SELECT" command, but still
no luck.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Interestingly, while it is continuing to send"SELECT",
if I pick up the actual Bell Fibe remote and press
"Select" the box does respond... which hints to me that
there isn't any IR interference... is it possible it's
using different frequencies than my emitter knows about?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I still haven't been able to find any other information
about controlling this box with LIRC. All my searches just
bring up this thread.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried changing the driver back from "uirt2_raw"
(which seemed to work to record the keys), to
"usb_uirt_raw", but that didn't seem to make any
difference... unsurprisingly. It was a long shot :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I stared more closely at the remote and I see on the
back it says, "MXv4 IR"... which seems to be the only
indication of what the remote is. Searching for this turns
up ... not much. Apparently there is a car tire with the
same model... and a few other providers use the same
remote with their boxes. It's a Motorola box, so maybe
it's also a Motorola remote, but I haven't found anything
promising (based on key names) in the LIRC remotes
repository.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I really don't want to give up on MythTV (after using
it for 11 years) ... it really makes the provided PVR's
offerings look pathetic... but I just don't seem to be
able to control the Fibe box :(</div>

I have you confirmed the USB-UIRT actually is transmitting when it
supposed to? You can use a digital camera to actually see the
IR-diode blink. I think it will work with the camera in your mobile
phone if you have one. Try it with your remote first to see if it
works. Start the camera as if you where going to take a picture of
the front of the remote, look at the remote through the camera
display and press a button. If you can see the remote blinking, then
try aiming the camera at the USB-UIRT and make it transmit.<br>
<br>
If that's not the problem try the SEND_ONCE with the option
--count=2 or higher. I had to do that with TV to get it started.<br>
