Alex,

Looks like you're using Ubuntu - I grabbed the latest lirc deb and extracted
the /dish/general.conf just on the off chance something was different.  I
went through every iteration in the file, but unforunately no dice.
Just incase anyone has an idea, this is the merry-go-round I've been playing
on the last few days:

/var/log/messages:

Dec 16 22:31:03 localhost lircd-0.8.6[4994]: accepted new client on
/dev/lircd1
Dec 16 22:31:03 localhost lircd-0.8.6[4994]: write failed

Dec 16 22:31:03 localhost lircd-0.8.6[4994]: removed client
Dec 16 22:31:03 localhost kernel: lirc_zilog: failed to get data for code 0,
key 525 -- check lircd.conf entries

dmesg:

lirc_zilog: failed to get data for code 0, key 525 -- check lircd.conf
entries


I transmit on /dev/lircd1, as you can see above.

The HD-PVR has firmware 1.5.6.1, and the only difference between the above
log and what I was getting before is that the lircd.conf files for dish I
had previously were complaining about 'code 0, key 400'.

If there are no suggestions, no biggie; I'll keep plugging away and I'll
post when it finally starts working... even if I have to build a robot to
physically push the buttons on the stupid remote, it WILL work eventually.
