As recommended, I tried executing the
channel change script while holding the other end of
the IR blaster to a camera to ensure that the blaster
was attempting to flash the signals. This was
sucessful and I was able to see it attempt to flash
the signals. So at this point I am assuming that the
lirc setup is 100% working, and I am just missing the
correct lirc.conf for my settop box. Would you say
that is accurate? If no config exists for the SA
3200, is there no way to generate one?
Damon.
Damon,
Can you post the contents of the following files for
me:
/etc/modules.conf
/etc/lircd.conf
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
your change_chan.sh script
(you may just want to backchanell me when you send
those files...I'm
not really sure what the etiquette would be
concerning posting them
for the whole list at this point... it's andymyth
!at! gmail.com)
I'd give the digital camera trick a shot, but the
irblaster I bought
never actually made light that the camera picked up
(though every
single other remote I own did). Actually frustrated
me for a bit
until i figured out that my camera just wasn't
picking up on it.

However, it looks like people on this list have
reported the explorer
2000 remote file which is on the lirc page works
fine with the 3200.
Have you tried that file?
Have you verified you have light coming out of
your IR Blaster? An easy
way to do this is with a digital camera or webcam.
Hold the short end
of the ir emitting unit opposite the end that the
cable is entering
close to the camera lens and you should see the
light on the camera
screen when you execute the change channel script.

And I don't know how to use irrecord. I also
wasn't sure if I could use
Irrecord given my hardware.
Can anyone help with the syntax/setup I should
use?
I believe that lirc0 is the Hauppauge and lirc1
is the Serial IR Blaster.

You need to use irrecord to record your cable
box's remote signals.
Also, there are several preconfigured codes that
can be found on LIRC's
website. For your case, go get one of the files
from
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/scientific_atlanta/
and copy and paste
it into your lircd.conf file.

Hello Everyone,
I have a fully functional Mythbox up and running
using FC3 (thanks to
Jarod's guide). This installation is working
flawlessly for my regular
cable needs, so I thought now would be a perfect
time to try and get the
digital cable working as well.
Currently I am using the Hauppage 350 remote for
myth and have the following
Lirc files installed:
lirc-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at
lirc-lib-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at
lirc-kmdl-2.6.9-1.724_FC3-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at
lirc-devices-0.7.0-1.rhfc3.at
lirc-lib-devel-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at
I have been using the fantastic guide created by
Andy
(http://comp.uark.edu/~aslong/mythtv.html
http://comp.uark.edu/%7Easlong/mythtv.html )
I purchased a Serial IR Blaster at
www.irblaster.info
http://www.irblaster.info/ (Great quality,
fast and friendly
service)
I get to the end of the guide and I am not able
to change channels on my
Scientific Atlanta 3200 Digital Cable box when
using the changechannel
script.
I am sure this is because I was using the config
for the SA 2000 as it was
the only one available on the lirc.org site.
My question(s):
- Is there a way I can use irrecord to
learn the SA 3200 remote
codes and make my own lirc.conf?
- Will the IR Blaster I purchased work on
any Digital box or do
you need to make sure you purchase an IR blaster
that is known to work with
your digital cable box in particular?
- Anyone have a pre-made lirc.conf for
the SA3200 (wishful
thinking)?
You have all been a great help in the past and I
am hoping that you can
assist me...
(Let me know if you need hardware
types/configs/output)
Thanks in advance,
Damon.
