I picked up an additional DTA at the Comcast office today. They started to
hand me a Pace unit and I said that I'd like a Motorla unit to stay consistent
at home. When they handed me the same remote they were going to give me with
the Pace I asked if both DTAs use the same remote. He said *yes* they use the
same remote.
However, I'll repeat that I was *not* able to get any output with the Pace
DC50X lirc config that's out there. At least not under lirc 0.8.4. Under lirc
0.8.6 my XMP-based DTA100 config is rock solid. My new config should,
therefore, work with the Pace units.
