[mythtv-users] Actisys IR-200L and Scientific Atlanta 3100

[Adrian Gomez]

Just tried it. No love. I have some questions...

1. What brand of foil are you using? I am using no-frills.
2. Shinny surface up or down? I tried both ways, but want to make sure  
that I have it right.
3. A half an inch on the top of the transmitter. Does it go all the  
away around the transmitter or did you trim the sides?

Your help will be appreciated.

He waves his arm in a gesture of futile dismissal. "If I say yes,  
she'll complain because she has to make it. If I say no, she'll  
complain because I'm not eating. So what should I say? I'll say yes,  
and eat half."
