I have this same DISH receiver.  I attempted to use an ActiSys, but the 
frequency problem forced me to use a home-built IR transmitter.  I would 
love to get the actisys working, however, because my home-built receiver 
seems to have issues about once every tenth channel change.  In those 
few cases instead of sending "102", it'll just send "12", or sometimes 
it'll skip the first digit.   It works, but only 90% of the time, which 
doesn't help the WAF.

So right now I use jvc_send with a home-built IR (the simple one on the 
lirc page).
