Hey fellow myth-ers,

I had been using an home made ir-blaster very successfully for quite some time. Probably 6-9 months. Everything has been great!

I recently had a new receiver installed (RCA D10) and my ir-blaster stopped working. I found some documentation to let me control the box using a low speed serial port found on the box. I purchased a cable to make the connection from the pc to the directv box.

A recent reboot of my myth server changed my results. Before the reboot I would at least receive an error message. But now, when I run the script, it just hangs:

root@mythtv:~ # /myth/directv.pl 270
Turning on IRD
SEND: 0xFA [ú] 0x82 []
RECV:

I never receive anything after the RECV: line. The script attempts to turn on the receiver. I have tested that at least this works, I turn off the receiver and when the script runs, the receiver tuns on. But nothing more.

I really don't know what to do to make any tests. My search results haven't been very fruitful, so I am hoping someone can shed some light for me.

Do I have some remnants of the ledxmit stuff? Is there something more than just having the script that I need to configure?

Thanks in advance!
