I just finished a new install of R5E50 (not a upgrade)

In the setup I answered yes to serial irblaster on com1
and picked Motorola_DCT2524.

Everything looks ok but when I go to /etc/irblaster there is no channel_change.sh file. Is the path different on R5E50 ?
I would like to setup the external channel change but can't find
the path

Thanks
Dave

Dave,

I am having a similar problem with my RCA based directv receiver. I am trying to use the directv specific perl script and having trouble.

How did you get to the setup where you were asked the irblaster question? I am sure I saw it when I was upgrading to E50 but now I cannot find it.

Thanks,
Kevin

To re-run the irblaster setup, as root:

does the irblaster.sh create the /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh ?

Dave

It didn't for me

I never found the one in /etc/irblaster so I fell back to my old channel_change.sh program and things went fine.



Of course I had to insert the name of my remote from irblasterd.conf. Also, don't forget to make your script executable.

Thanks rsay

That worked
I still have to get a chance to fiddle with the settings to make it change channels correctly

Hi People,

My cable box was recently replaced with a 2524 and I have a dumb question before I coniture. Are you using a old fashioned 9 pin "Serial" cable with this script or a Serial IR blaster (Serial Cable with a trasmiter on one side)?

The reason I ask, is that I am using the old fashioned serial cable (and I am having trouble getting this to work). I have used the script in the post above, I have changed my remote name to match the file. I have made sure the script is executable. I have gone it to setup and changed it to run /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh and I have tried it without the .sh on the end to. Any help or gerneral direction to go would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

Paul
