Any chance you can post the wiring diagram for that? (Should be easy to
do if you happen to have a continuity tester (ohm meter). I'm assuming
it is a passive cable, and doesn't incorporate an optocoupler, as has
been suggested in this thread.)

Not a big deal, but it will save a few minutes of experimentation for
those that want to build their own cable.

Here's the list of end-points:

Comcast DTA
-----------
tip
middle-ring
outer-ring

IR blaster
----------
tip
ring

Also note which DTA you tested it with (Thomson, Pace, Motorola).

I'll add the info to the wiki (I plan to create a page on DTAs) if you
can supply it.

Thanks,
