Well I have made progress:
Using KnoppMyth R5C7 I can get it to send out IR codes, but not the ones
I want...
A fresh installation with a PVR150 with the IR Blaster, I can receive
commands from the Hauppauge remote.
I can use "*irsend SEND_ONCE blaster 0_8_KEY_9*" and the irled blinks on
the Hauppauge external cable,
BUT if I use "*irsend SEND_ONCE DCT2000 0*" I get errors in the syslog:
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[2598]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[2598]: write failed
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[2598]: Protocol error
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[2598]: error processing command: SEND_ONCE DCT2000 0
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[2598]: transmission failed
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv kernel: lirc_pvr150: failed to get data for code 0, key 9036 -- check lircd.conf entries
Jun 14 18:57:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[2598]: removed client
which is really odd as I downloaded the DCT2000 config from lirc.org and
added it to lircd.conf
I have checked that lircd has picked up the remote with *irsend list
DCT2000 ""*
I am at a bit of a loss, if I can get this last part sorted, then I am
ready to use the unit with Saturn!
Help?
Cheers Douglas.

I had been wondering about this for a while, so I just ordered an IRBlaster.
Hopefully it will be a synch as my wife does get upset when I tell her it
will take a couple of hours to configure something like this and then
disappear for a week :)
Thanks for the info
