Hmm,
To answer my own question, it looks like I do not need DCT2000, rather I
need to work out the codeset per
http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=19
I hope to do that in a day or so...
Cheers Douglas.

Using KnoppMyth R5C7 I can get it to send out IR codes, but not the

A fresh installation with a PVR150 with the IR Blaster, I can receive

I can use "<b>irsend SEND_ONCE blaster 0_8_KEY_9</b>" and the irled

which is really odd as I downloaded the DCT2000 config from lirc.org
and added it to lircd.conf<br>
<br>
I have checked that lircd has picked up the remote with <b>irsend list
DCT2000 ""</b> <br>

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!<br>

Help?<br>

Hopefully it will be a synch as my wife does get upset when I tell her it

For which I am grateful and might get around to implementing. It also
has the tip that sending volume up unmutes the sky box. Didn't know
that, and it always worried me how to ensure it wasn't muted.
