Post subject:  Direct tv hughes reciever R5A22

Just installed R5A22 and must say it is very impressive. I have been trying to build out a mythtv box for about 2 weeks now. Tried R5A16 but had issues I couldn't seem to resolve. Then switched to fedora and their myth setup, but fedora kept having issues with my hardware, so decided to try out R5A22 which has been running great since yesterday. I do have 1 issue I can not figure out of the life of me and have been googleing and searching for hours. On my hughes reciever I do not have the slow connector in the back, just s vid and the red, white, and yellow connections. So I bought a ir blaster from here:

_http://irblaster.info/

I have it connected to the serial port on the myth box and the led connected to the hughes reciever.

My confusion comes into how to make this work. I have read some post where you need to recompile the lirc to add this. I see others you need a channel changing script, and some that say you need both to work. With R5A22 working so well with everything else, I did not want to break anything before I asked the experts.

Intel P 2.8
Nvidia 5900 agp
1 gig ram
160 hard drive
I am running a single Hauppauge 250 ( btw that remote installer on this version is a godsend ).

any assistance would be very appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

One thing I forgot is I did try to follow this http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... t=directtv in the R5A22 but it seems the lirc packages have changing from a .gz file to a bzip file so when I ran:

dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

It said it could not find the tar.gz for lirc.

Yippy, I finally got the serial working by following this howto:

http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/my ... _LIRC.html

and by using this for my box:

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/hug ... D-B2_GAEBO

I am able to change channels lower then 10 from a ssh console using:

/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend SEND_ONCE HUGHES_DSS_GAEBO 5

but anything higher then 10 gives errors:

root@mythtv:/usr/local/bin# /usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend SEND_ONCE HUGHES_DSS_GAEBO 10
/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE HUGHES_DSS_GAEBO 10

I peeked inside the lirc you linked to, it has codes for 0-9. It's just like your remote, you need to hit 1 then 0.

Code:
      begin codes

     last             0x0000000000006897
     guide            0x00000000000048B7

          ch+                      0x00000000000040BF

      end codes
