[mythtv-users] Unable to control a DCT700 cable box

This is a dupe from the lirc list, but I'm desperate here!
My mythtv computer has been out of service for almost 3 weeks now, and I
just have no other trouble shooting ideas, I'm completely stuck. All the
searching I've done, I only seem to find people having problems with the 0
key. I am having problems with every key.
I bought a dual headed serial IR blaster from irblaster.info. I'm just
trying to get one box working before I try tackling two.
I am using mythbuntu. I followed these documents
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Gutsy
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DCT700_Channel_Change_Script
My lirc_serial module is loaded, lircd is running, and when I try and
irsend SEND_ONCE DCT700 info
or power, or numbers, or any key at all, with the irsend command or the perl
or python change channel scripts, I get no errors, but the box does not
respond. I have both blasters taped right above the eye, and I've
repositioned them a thousand times. I've tried it on two seperate DCT700
boxes. I did the camera trick where I watch the blasters when I send an
irsend command, and I saw the purple light. So the blasters work, something
is sending, but it's not have any effect.
I live in Chicago and have RCN cable. Usually these DCT700 howtos are
associated with Comcast. Could the boxes be different? They don't look
special. I really am out of ideas and pleading for new ideas to try.
here are my config files:
lircd.conf
# this config file was originally generated
# using lirc-0.6.6(serial) on Fri Mar 28 22:46:44 2003
# modified by hand on Sunday Jul 17 00:12:00 2005
#
# contributed by rob scullion
# based on the DCT2000 file contrib'd by shane bradley
#
# brand: Motorola
# model no. of remote control: ? - Comcast badged
# devices being controlled by this remote: DCT2524/1612
#
# Note: The "ON DEMAND" button on the Comcast
# badged remote just sends a "1" followed by
# an "ok/select" and is thus not included in
# this config file.
