| Post subject: | IR Blaster? |
I am thinking about building a pvr if I can resolve this issue. I am on a analog cable system, some of my channels are decoded by my cable box... From what I understand this is no major issue, all I would need to do is purchase a IR blaster and have it change my cable box to the right channel.... Well my problem is, my cable box does not have a universal code for the remote; ie: I must use the remote that came with it and it does not work with any "universal remotes". Is there a "trainable" type setup available that would allow me to program the IR blaster by purchasing a IR reciever, and using my cable box's remote to program the pc, so that the pc could emulate the IR signals from my remote? Sorry for the cross post, I just realized this thread belongs in this forum and not where I posted it last night. |

As I said in my post I am sorry for posting this twice, I just realized this was a more appropriate forum for the question, then the forum I origionaly posted in. Maybe you can help me, do you know anything related to what I am trying to do? |

get an ir receiver run lirc (or use a different box running windows and use winlirc) capture the codes, and put them in your config file irblaster.info sells them i think |

Have you checked here to see if someone has created a config file for your remote? http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ If it's there, you can just build a simple IR transmitter (just a resistor, diode and IR LED). Info located here: http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html I believe I followed this guide for ledxmit setup: http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/my ... _LIRC.html Robert |

Thanks much for the info. I had checked to see if there were codes for my remote/cable box, unfortunatly there were none. |
