</div>Yes it is, and it can take a bit of fiddling to get that to work<br>
reliably. I had to do the same (i.e. use raw mode), and it's taken me<br>
many months of tweaking to get right.<br>
<br>
I've only ever done this once (i.e. with my STB which is not a Cisco),<br>
but the two things I've done that made the most difference to<br>
reliability were:<br>
<br>
- keep it as simple as possible. Include only one iteration of the raw<br>
codes in your config file.<br>
<br>
- use a reasonable interdigit time. Pick something that is close to what<br>
a human could achieve when using the remote, but not too long so as to<br>
avoid that the STB thinks you're done sending digits. I've set mine to<br>
350ms:<br>
<br>
LircChannelChanger --remote=digibox --transmitter=1 --delay=0.350<br>
--digitprefix=Num $1<br>
<br>
<br>
