I was thinking there is something different that needs to be done with the remote so it uses the IR blaster to change the channel on the STB. I wasn't clear that I needed to change the channel on the STB. I will see if I can get this remote working (I have other remotes and tuners working w/ lirc) by sending signals to the STB. The reason I can't use the STB remote is when I want to record something, I will need to turn on the STB and change the channel. Or maybe just change the channel if I leave the STB on all the time. > On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 8:51 PM, greg pryzby <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am able to connect hd stb to the 1950 and get channels over > > > composite and.
