I am seriously getting frustrated, with this IR Transmitter, this is a vital part of my build and it is getting me under! I have gotten the PVR150’s IR Blaster to work, well as mentioned it blinks and it does appear to transmit when commanded to, but my DSTV decoder is not working!! I tried loads of scripts and still nothing, I used mark’s send_power_new, and it ran for about 10mins, blinking away as it should but still nothing, no response from the decoder…
Yet another late night for me, I have most of the software sorted out now, and my setup is running semi-usable. I got the TV guide working and integrated, it works great, I can see what is showing when with synopsis and some other meta-data and I can even schedule recordings from a web interface and afterwords download or stream it, I don’t have the streaming working yet, but the functionality is there. My next mission which took up most of last night was, trying to get the IR Blaster, aka transmitter working.
Wow, what a weekend, I went to watch The Dark Knight on iMax and it was great, watch the rugby had a few drinks, and continued with my HTPC build. Headaches galore from hangovers and head-bashing caused by struggling into the wee hours of the night! But I have made some progress.
