Hi,

I looking to finish configuration and fine tuning for a new setup with R8 and two PVR-350's recording from 2 Dish receivers. I am using a serial ir-blaster with dual emitters. The dish receivers have been configured with remote ID's 1 and 2 and need to respond to Dish1 and Dish2 in lidcd.conf which appears to be properly setup. How do I configure things for the remote channel change scripts for this setup?

remote - none
transmitter - serial ir-blaster

thanks
Scott

Still no luck with my ir-blaster

Is there some things I could try to get things working?

The PVR 350 card is working and I can watch live tv, but I cannot get the serial ir-blaster working. I believe I have set everything properly in the remotes section.

Any tips are appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott

The first thing I would verify is that the blasters are working with irsend.
To send the number 4 try this line.
4 must be defined in lircd.conf and name_or_remote should be changed out for whatever the name is used in lircd.conf

irsend SEND_ONCE name_of_remote 4

To verify that the transmitter is transmitting watch it through a camera (like your cell phone).
When transmitting you should see it briefly flash a bit of light.


After that the script /usr/LH/bin/change_channel.sh could be used as base for whatever custom script required.
