Hello Kirk,

I just wanted to give my heartfelt thanks for the new lirc config file.  I
have just gotten it to work with my Pace DC50X box.  I had to change the
inputs to numeric (1 vs one), but the other config file never worked for me.
Here is my config file:

$ cat /usr/share/lirc/transmitters/pace/pacedc50x.conf
# Please make this file available to others
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.6-CVS(default) on Mon Jan 11 21:34:36 2010
#
# contributed by Kirk Bocek
#
# brand: Comcast Branded Motorola DTA100
# model no. of remote control: Unknown, Comcast Label
# devices being controlled by this remote: Motorola DTA100
#
# This is one of the cheap digital converters being provided by Comcast as
# part of their analog shutdown. Product information here:

#
# This remote also has power and volume buttons. However these are
# intended to be programmed
# to control your specific TV and so have been left out of this config.
#
# Generated by starting with the generic XMP protocol configuration:
# http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/generic/XMP
# and then using irrecord to add the keys.
