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

# 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:

# and then using irrecord to add the keys.
