This isn't helpful to you, but TelstraClear/Saturn TV use Motorola/GI set top 
boxes with use the DCT2000 remote codes.  Anyone using Saturn cable TV in 
Wellington or Chch should be able to use this...

Have you tried irsend-ing to another device to confirm the sender works?  
Despite following the wiring diagram, I ended up having to switch the polarity 
of the diode in the transmitter - it was flashing invertedly! 

If you have a video camera, pointing the IR-led at it should tell you if 
anything's happening when you IRSEND.
