[mythtv-users] Have Lirc & IR Blaster, now All I need is help making a lirc.conf...

You need to use irrecord to record your cable box's remote signals.
Also, there are several preconfigured codes that can be found on LIRC's
website.  For your case, go get one of the files from
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/scientific_atlanta/ and copy and
paste it into your lircd.conf file.

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a fully functional Mythbox up and running using FC3 (thanks to
Jarod's guide).  This installation is working flawlessly for my regular
cable needs, so I thought now would be a perfect time to try and get the
digital cable working as well.

 

Currently I am using the Hauppage 350 remote for myth and have the
following Lirc files installed:

 

lirc-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at

lirc-lib-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at

lirc-kmdl-2.6.9-1.724_FC3-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at

lirc-devices-0.7.0-1.rhfc3.at

lirc-lib-devel-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at

 

I have been using the fantastic guide created by Andy
(http://comp.uark.edu/~aslong/mythtv.html
<http://comp.uark.edu/%7Easlong/mythtv.html> )

I purchased a Serial IR Blaster at www.irblaster.info
<http://www.irblaster.info/>   (Great quality, fast and friendly
service)

 

I get to the end of the guide and I am not able to change channels on my
Scientific Atlanta 3200 Digital Cable box when using the changechannel
script.

I am sure this is because I was using the config for the SA 2000 as it
was the only one available on the lirc.org site.

 

 

My question(s):

 

-         Is there a way I can use irrecord to learn the SA 3200 remote
codes and make my own lirc.conf?

-         Will the IR Blaster I purchased work on any Digital box or do
you need to make sure you purchase an IR blaster that is known to work
with your digital cable box in particular?

-         Anyone have a pre-made lirc.conf for the SA3200 (wishful
thinking)?

 

You have all been a great help in the past and I am hoping that you can
assist me...

(Let me know if you need hardware types/configs/output)

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Damon.
