Description Channel-change script and LIRC configuration (lircd.conf) for use with DISH Network set-top boxes and LIRC transmitters.
Supports



lircd.conf file

Endaf Jones took the time to decode the DISH Network remote control command set for use in controlling DISH Network or Bell ExpressVu receivers. The result is the following lircd.conf that includes definitions for all the buttons, discrete power (i.e. power_on and power_off, in addition to the power toggle), and all 16 remote codesets (i.e. for controlling up to 16 DISH receivers).

To send a command to a receiver using codeset 1, use the remote name "dish1". To send a command to a receiver using codeset 9, use the remote name "dish9" (and so on for other codesets). Ensure your channel change scripts (and anything else you use to send commands to your receivers) use the button names defined below.

If using the discrete power_on button, I recommend you do not include it in a channel change script. If the receiver is, in fact, off, it will not receive/process additional commands after the "power_on" until it has finished booting. Therefore, if you do most of your recording during primetime, you could set up a daily cron job to send a "power_on" a few minutes before primetime begins. You may even try sending the command more often (i.e. at 25 and 55 past each hour), but test this out before any important recordings.

To use the configuration, copy the information below (or download a compressed copy from the mailing list archives) and paste it into a text file. Save the file at /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (or ledxmitd.conf, if appropriate for your configuration). Then, restart LIRC and enjoy. Note that spaces and formatting can be very important, so be careful to copy/paste correctly.

Bell ExpressVu users wanting to use different remote names may copy the same lircd.conf and update the remote names to "expressvu1", "expressvu2", ... with the following script:

sed -i -e 's/name dish/name expressvu/' \
       -e 's/dish#/expressvu#/' \
       -e 's/called "dish/called "expressvu/' \
       -e 's/dish" and a "dish/expressvu" and a "expressvu/' \
  lircd.conf

Those wanting to update the buttons named "dish_home{,2}" may do so with:

sed -i -e 's/dish_home/expressvu_home/' lircd.conf

# Each has been implemented in this config file with the remote names "dish#"
# where the hash/pound/number sign ("#") is a code number from 1 through 16.
# There is also a remote called "dish" (without a number), for users with only
# one receiver, that uses remote code 1 (DISH's default).
#
# The duty_cycle (the percentage of time during a pulse that infrared light is
# being sent) is commented because some hardware transmitters don't support its
# use.
#
# The discrete power functions (power_on and power_off) can be used to ensure
# the power state of the receiver.  However, they probably shouldn't be used in
# a channel change script as the receiver will require a significant delay
# after a power_on before it is capable of receiving/responding to additional
# commands (such as channel numbers).  Instead, assuming most of your recording
# is during prime-time, you may want to set a cron job to run a "power_on"
# command for each of your receivers about 5 or 10 minutes before primtetime.

Example channel change script

The following is the script I use when changing channels on my model 322. It may need modification to work with other models. It is coded to avoid 'channel not available' and 'press select to continue'


Script.png changechannel

#!/bin/sh

#
# script to control echostar model x22 (and maybe others)
#
# This handles both the "press select to continue "screen saver", and the 
# unsubscribed channel dialog box.
#
# Also when a channel is changed, the bannder is quickly removed to minimize 
# the showing of the banner display.
#
# usage: changechannel <receiver number> [--raw] 
#                      [<channel number> | <remote_button [...]]
#        
#        Options:
#        --raw = any following numbers are sent raw, without additional signals
#           needed to bypass the receiver quirks quirks
#
#        For each 
#        - <channel number> = Change to given channel, if not prefixed with 
#          --raw option, it also sends additional signals in an attempt to bypass 
#          dialog boxes, the "press select to continue" display, and a cancel 
#          to quickly remove the channel display
#        - <remote button> = control the receiver directly using the given 
#          remote control buttons
#

# the time to wait between button presses, mine is workable at .1
