I'm probably missing something obvious here. However, I've been looking for a few days now and cannot find a clear answer to this.

From what I've found so far, it appears that this combonation should work. I have a DP301 receiver and a Hauppauge PVR-150 W/IR Blaster. I have the latest knoppmyth installed on a box that I moved from my last place (cable straight into the tuner, easy). I reformatted the machine after getting the stuff off that I wanted to have the cleanest envioronment for the new setup.

The receiver is going to the Mythbox via svideo and audio cable and it is working just fine. I can record and watch tv without any problem. Where it fails is that I cannot get the blaster to change channels on the receiver, thus eliminating the ability to set timed jobs.

I figure there must be a how-to somewhere out there on getting the IR blaster to work. I either cannot find the right one or I've found the right one and just something is not right in my implementation some where. So if anyone can nudge me in the right direction, I'd be real grateful.

I have a dish network echostar 301, but use a different IRBlaster. Here is the steps I used that may help you out.

First thing is that I needed to change the echostar receiver to a different address so that it will recognize standard IR codes:
-Press sysinfo on the remote
-hold down SAT button till all lights are lit up
-Press 9 Then the record button

Also here is (what I call) my remoted.conf. I am not sure how the knoppmyth one works, but I think you will need to rename it something else and put it in /etc/irblaster (or someplace like that). You may have to change your changechannel script. One last thing, make sure you have rights to use /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever port that IRBlaster is on). Just as root do chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever port your IRBlaster is on).
