[mythtv-users] Dish DVR 510

[Robert Denier]

When I read the instructions below I thought that the receiver they were 
written for was quite different than mine so I chose the 301's file.  
After simply trying the provided /etc/ledxmitd.conf things work.  (I 
haven't got it working in myth or anything yet, but I don't anticipate 
any more problems.)  I need to clean up my circuit and replace the 
visible led with a signal diode and a more appropriate resistor of course.
