Wow, no takers on this one? Nobody's using this Motorola DTA100 with Comcast?

I've gone through the lirc configs at:

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/motorola/

but none seem to work with this remote.

I've tried using irrecord to generate my own config. The standard irrecord 
mode yields "Something went wrong" messages. But as usual for me, generating a 
config using the force raw mode yields completely unreliable results. When I 
feed the raw mode config back into lirc and test it with irw, I get output but 
buttons move around or give other readings. Sometimes the output changes from 
keypress to keypress.

Anyone have any suggestions or pointers?

Thanks,
