I got the PVR 150 with the IR bug, and I can get it transmitting codes, but
not necessarily the right codes. So I'm wondering if I should build a DIY
blaster or if its the codes that's the problem. I can read my DSTV remote,
having captured it's codes, but not much luck transmitting same. Anyone got
IR blasters operating their DSTV decoder?
Regards,
Matthew Kent
