[mythtv-users] HD-PVR IR Blaster Not Working

[Christopher Wingert]

Hi,

I am working on Ubuntu 11.10, Kernel 3.0, MythTV 0.24, lirc 0.90.

When I try to "find" the correct code for my cable box, I can not find 
one that works with my cable box.

I know this is a very common IR code set, because I have used a 
universal remote for the last ten years with the same IR codes to 
control MANY different cable boxes I received from TWC.

I am using the script below to send a power command.

While watching the the LED on the front of the blaster, I notice that it 
seems to pulse for the same time period for most of the codes below, but 
some times it chirps.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Chris
