You might want to check out the Sky Digibox config on my website:
    http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/pvr/lirc.php
The config is for the homebrew transmitter, not a proper IR Blaster, but 
the Digibox is very picky about the IR timings so it might be useful to 
you.

Before I got Myth, I used to use the Digibox's planner to schedule 
recordings for my VHS recorder - Series Link was always wholly unreliable 
(used to forget to record the next episode 75% of the time, one of the big 
reasons I decided not to bother with Sky+).  Has it actually got reliable 
now?
